Travelbay

Travelbay is a travel platform designed to help Africans and the diaspora explore and reconnect with the continent through curated, cross-cultural travel experiences.

The idea

Travel across Africa often means piecing a trip together from many places. Travelbay brings it into one: travellers find a trip worth taking and book it, and the operators who run those trips manage them and get paid, on the same platform.

What we built

Travelbay covers planning, booking and operations:

• Discovery: curated travel packages, from gorilla trekking in Rwanda to December in Lagos and Ghana, with search by destination, travellers, dates and budget.
• Booking: travellers can book a curated package or create a custom one, save trips to a wishlist, and chat about their plans.
• Operator tooling: tools for the operators who run the trips.
• Payouts: getting operators paid for the trips they run.

Results

• Conversion improved by 40%.
• Bounce rates reduced by 60%.
• Revenue increased by 200%.
