Is this aimed at the existing travel agent industry or at an entirely new class of travel professional? If it's the latter, I'm pretty excited about this. I have several friends who I've leaned on for helping with travel plans (who essentially acted as my API for international travel). I could see plenty of businesses created out of this - imagine turning a travel blogger into a travel planner with minimal additional effort on the part of the blogger. Airline points writers would also seem to be an ideal user of a suite like this.



THIS THIS THIS!

Exactly what excited us about building Duffel in the first place. (After we struggled to get access to a decent travel booking API ourselves).

We want to give everyone the opportunity to sell travel products, anywhere.


Glad to hear that! I have one friend who has built a reasonably successful luxury travel business, but I have at least 5 others who are functionally free APIs for their friends. I would love to see this as an emergent specialty space - imagine if a frequent traveller like the ones I'm referring to could plan their trips, but also easily create them to share and sell to others.


That’s sort of the vision I have for https://www.naverator.com/. Make planning the actual specifics of a particular trip easier, but also make it easier to discover and share ideas with others both within the site and on other platforms.
