Travelgenio was a Spanish online travel agency created in 2010 by the Argentinean entrepreneur Mariano Pelizzari.[1] The company also published a survey of trends and customer satisfaction in the air travel industry.[2][3]
In 2018, Travelgenio merged with the Dutch company Otravo,[4] at the same time that Joost Schuring took over as CEO.[5] In December 2022, Schuring announced the cessation of operations due to bankruptcy,[6] without indemnifying for dismissal the employees of the Travelgenio subsidiary in Uruguay.[7]
The products and services Travelgenio offers are, mainly, flights, hotels and other services such as insurances, car rental, and transfers. Travelgenio operates through some reservation systems like Amadeus CRS or Galileo, marketing the products of airlines like Iberia (airline), Vueling, Air France or KLM, among other companies. In 2020 Travelgenio and Travelport signed a renewed partnership.[8]
