The Beginning

Mondee was founded in 2011, when we acquired Skylink, Exploretrip, cFares, and C&H International with the goal of disrupting the wholesale airfare market by bringing together the leading consolidator brands and technology to build a marketplace to deliver the best airfare, service, and technology in the industry. The next year we acquired two additional consolidators, Transam and Hariworld, becoming the largest airline consolidator in North America.

Building The Next Generation Technology Platform

In 2014, with our position firmly solidified as the leading airfare wholesaler in North America, Mondee launched the consolidator airfare booking platform, TripPro. It quickly became the leading wholesale booking platform in the industry and, in 2017, we upgraded the original TripPro platform with TripPro Unicorn. We took all the best features of TripPro and enhanced it with hotel content, an integrated marketing platform and a post-ticketing self service platform; the first of its kind in the industry.

Through a mixture of technology innovation and astute strategic acquisitions, Mondee quickly built the modern travel marketplace, connecting 50,000 travel agents and 500 airlines through a globally connected disruptive technology platform with the largest source of travel content, an integrated conversational commerce engine, complete digital marketing campaign management, and fintech solutions to solve complex ecommerce challenges.

By 2019, Mondee had reached $3 billion in sales volume, supporting over 50 million unique daily searches and processing over 5.4 million tickets.

Growth Into New Markets

In 2019, Mondee moved into new market segments, specifically the retail travel market, with the acquisition of LBF Travel whose brands include Smartfares, Hotelwiz, Booking Wiz and Avia. With the addition of these brands, Mondee could continue to grow and service markets with its technology platform, giving information rich, savvy, connected travelers seeking curated, value-based travel experience even more choices on any device, at any time.

The rising demand for a platform that seamlessly connected airlines, hotels, and other travel content with gig workers and value-savvy travelers continued to grow, and sensing an opportunity to extend its marketplace and technology expertise to the corporate travel market, Mondee acquired the leading corporate travel reward platform Rocketrip in 2019.

Additionally, in 2019 Mondee acquired the fastest growing travel consolidator in North America, Cosmopolitan Travel Services and its Canadian tour operator, Leto Travel.
