In this episode of the EUVC podcast, Andreas discusses with Chris Wade, Founding Partner at Isomer Capital, and Travis Pittman, co-founder and CEO of TourRadar, one of the finalists in the Achievement of the Year category at this year's European VC Awards.TourRadar is an Organized Adventure Platform, offering the world's largest selection of multi-day adventures worldwide. TourRadar's online platform seamlessly connects travelers and travel agents with 2,500 multi-day operators, offering 50,000 adventures in more than 160 countries globally.Travis has raised $60m of capital from Speedinvest, Hoxton Ventures, and Cherry Ventures and, in 2018, raised a C round led by Technology Crossover Ventures (TCV). Isomer Capital and LGT also joined this round. The company's GMV grew to 9 figures in 2019, then 2020 started very well with all-time high monthly revenues until Feb 2020 when Covid hit revenues went negative as customers asked for their money back as they were unable to travel.To ensure the business's survival, they made significant cuts to their workforce and reduced salaries. Travis emphasized the importance of transparency in communication during uncertain times. Despite the difficulties, TourRadar was able to recover and is now back at a revenue level above pre-COVID levels and more profitable. They have also expanded their product offerings, particularly in the payments and affiliate networks areas.Go to eu.vc for our core learnings and the full video interview

As damaging as Covid was for tour operators, the inability to conduct trips provided companies in the sector a valuable opportunity to reevaluate their all aspects of their businesses. Ulla Heffer Böhler, chief operating officer for the Travel Corporation, and Travis Pittman, the CEO & co-founder of TourRadar, told Skift Senior Travel Tech Editor Sean O'Neill at Skift Forum Europe 2022 on March 24 what changes they realized they had to make. Böhler said Covid forced her company to take another look at, among other things, group sizes and domestic offerings while Pittman stated TourRadar was forced to look at what markets it was targeting.  Listen to the conversation, or read a transcript of it here, to learn how Böhler and Pittman used the pandemic-induced pause to develop new tours.

Unternehmen verwenden Konzepte aus der Politik, Politiker werden zunehmend zu Unternehmern. In "Start Me Up" spricht NEOS-Gründer Matthias Strolz über Dinge, die beide Sphären verbinden. Mitbringen müssen Unternehmer aber den Drive etwas gestalten zu wollen und die Fähigkeit Dinge neu aufzuziehen. Ansonsten muss man auch nicht in einem Startup arbeiten, findet Travis Pittman. Der Gründer von Tourradar spricht in "Start Me Up" über die Arbeitsbelastung und Wege ein erfolgreiches Team zu führen.  In "Start Me Up" waren 2019 viele erfolgreiche GründerInnen zu Gast. Im Podcast hört ihr Ausschnitte aus den besten Gesprächen 2019.

A lot of attention has been paid in recent years on the so-called big players in tours and activities.Their efforts to capture some of the huge market for selling tickets to attractions and experiences in destinations but there is another, equally important and vibrant area of that industry: multi-day tours.The likes of Booking.com, Expedia, TripAdvisor, Airbnb and countless others have largely ignored it so far, giving the likes of brands such as TourRadar to be created and then gain a substantial share of the consumer base.The multi-day segment in tours and activities is not an easy one to work in, with the inherent tech issues that others face elsewhere being coupled with the complex nature of distributing a product for suppliers that has far more variables for the consumer to consider.TourRadar's CEO Travis Pittman and his co-founder and brother Shawn have certainly caught the eye of investors ($66 million and counting) and have worked hard to position the business in the market.Pittman joins us for the latest episode of How I Got Here.HIGH is a weekly show produced by PhocusWire and Mozio, aimed at getting the inside stories behind startups and innovation in travel and transportation.Other episodes: on PhocusWire and Mozio.

I've always preferred independent travel. Travis makes a pretty convincing argument about why TourRadar is a compelling platform and marketplace.  TourRadar aggregates 1,000 tour operators with 30,000 different trips all over the globe.  About 70% of those who book with TourRadar are females, especially solo female travelers. Group sizes vary from 6 to 50 people. TourRadar focuses on regions, not cities. For instance, you'd search for Tuscany or Italy, not just Florence. Tours last at least 3 days. The sweet spot for them is about 12 days. So if you only want a tour of Paris, don't use TourRadar.  Travis reveals: How TourRadar makes money. What's a common error people make when booking a tour. What kind of recourse you have when a tour bombs. How he got started. How much venture capital TourRadar has taken in. What's TourRadar's strategic direction for 2019 and beyond. This is episode #21.
