The 16 Companies Creating the Future of Travel
Sector: Travel  (16 companies ranked)
Released: August 7, 2012

Our database tracks over 300 travel-related private companies, most of which are bookings engines, search engines, daily deals, and airbnb copycats. These battles have been fought and the winners largely decided. Instead of our usual long list, we chose instead to prune travel down to only the most exciting and interesting new companies. Most of these companies are using either social media or mobile applications to undermine the incumbents and create new, unique customer value propositions. These are the Travel companies to watch.
Highlights
Our Favorite: Inspirato
From over 300 private travel-related companies, we pick the top 16 most exciting and interesting ones. These are the travel companies to watch.
