mTrip and Facilitatrip: from travel planning to a branded app

The mTrip and Facilitatrip partnership brings together two complementary areas of travel technology: Facilitatrip’s travel design, quotation, and booking tools, and mTrip’s branded mobile apps for travelers. Announced in April 2024, the collaboration focuses on supporting travel agencies and tour operators from planning a trip to delivering the client experience.

What does Facilitatrip bring to the partnership?

Facilitatrip provides a platform for travel agencies and tour operators to design trips, prepare quotations, and manage bookings. Its tools support the work involved in creating travel proposals and arranging multiple services.

This addresses the planning side of the journey: turning a client’s requirements into a proposed trip and managing the services that make up the booking.

What does mTrip bring to the partnership?

mTrip provides branded mobile apps for travel agencies and tour operators. These apps give travelers a mobile experience under the travel company’s brand, with tools such as itinerary management and offline maps.

The mobile app extends the agency’s service into the trip itself. Travelers can refer to their itinerary and explore their destination through an experience associated with the company that arranged their journey.

Why bring travel planning and the app experience together?

For a travel business, preparing a trip and presenting it to the traveler are closely related tasks. The partnership combines Facilitatrip’s focus on travel planning and booking with mTrip’s expertise in mobile travel technology.

It gives agencies and tour operators an opportunity to consider both parts of their service together:

• Before departure: design the trip, prepare the proposal, and manage the booking process.
• For the traveler: present the journey through a branded mobile experience with itinerary information and destination tools.
• For the business: assess how the planning workflow and client-facing app can support the service it wants to deliver.

The aim is to support a more consistent experience across the travel journey, connecting the work of the agency with the information its clients use while away.

Who is the partnership for?

The collaboration is aimed at travel agencies and tour operators looking at both their trip planning process and their digital traveler experience.

When evaluating the two platforms, start with your team’s workflow: how you create proposals, manage bookings, and deliver trip details to clients. Then discuss the configuration and data exchange requirements for your business with the teams.
