Summary

Digital continues to change how travelers find and book tours and activities, and today’s operators need access to more online tools and sales opportunities than ever. Online travel agencies (OTAs) and other digital distributors have been a big part of that change. So as we approach Arival Berlin 2020, we present our updated Arival Guide to Digital Distributors. This second edition serves as a directory of more than 115 companies reselling tours, activities, attractions, events, or experiences online. How to Use this Directory If you are engaged in the market of tours, activities, and attractions, this report will give you a lay of the land for digital distributors. This directory is a great starting point to understand the landscape. We aim to help local and international operators of tours, activities, attractions, and experiences grow their business. A key component of business growth is finding the right partners. This list of distributors can be especially helpful as you seek to enter new markets and expand your distribution. Arival does not promote or endorse any of the companies listed here.  

WHAT YOU WILL GET IN THIS REPORT:

The market for tours, activities, and attractions is rapidly growing and incredibly diverse. Online distributors differ in volume of sales, regional focus, product focus, and business models. The eight categories in this guide will help you identify potential partners based on their regional focus or product specialization.

  • Major Global Online Sellers
  • Regional and Other Online Sellers
  • Attraction Ticket Specialists
  • General OTAs
  • OTAs Selling Multi-day Activities 
  • Locals, Guides and Peer-to-Peer Experiences
  • Online Sellers with an Activities Niche
  • Corporate Benefits/Experiences

We’ve also included each distributor’s regional focus and links to their website.

A final note: This is a work in progress. We’ve probably missed a few. So tell us what we’ve missed, or mistaken. Email us at [email protected] if you have a comment, complaint or a company to add.
