Discover the leading travel techs organized by category: corporate travel marketplaces, metasearch engines, OBTs, travel and expense management, events, OTAs and travel tech infrastructure.
What are the leading travel techs?
The travel tech market has grown and specialized. Today there are dozens of travel technology companies, each solving a different stage of the journey: from fare search and comparison to expense management, events and technology infrastructure.
To make your research easier, we organized the leading travel techs by category — from the corporate travel marketplace to OTAs — explaining what each one does and who it is best suited for.
Corporate travel marketplace
The most innovative category in the industry: instead of a single corporate travel agency monopolizing the budget, multiple agencies compete in real time for the same travel request.
- Loupit — corporate travel marketplace that puts multiple audited agencies competing in real time, with travel policy, approval workflows, corporate cashback, expense management and built-in AI agents. It works as a super app for business travel, combining flights, hotels, mobility, expense and reports in a single platform.
Metasearch engines
They compare flight and hotel prices across many sites and redirect to the booking. Consumer-focused, but they shape price expectations for business travelers.
- Google Flights — airfare search and comparison with best-date calendars
- Skyscanner — global metasearch for flights, hotels and car rental
- Kayak — metasearch for flights, hotels and packages
- Trivago — hotel price comparison
OBT (Online Booking Tool)
Corporate self-booking tools, usually operated alongside a travel agency.
- Argo — OBT for corporate bookings
- Lemontech — corporate travel OBT
- WTS — OBT and travel solutions
- Reserve — self-booking OBT
- Concur — OBT integrated with expense management (SAP Concur)
- Tech Travel — OBT and travel management
Travel and expense management (T&E)
Platforms combining booking, travel policy and expense reporting.
- Uniglobe — corporate travel management; visit uniglobepro.com.br
- PayTrack — travel and expense management
- Onfly — travel and expense management
- Payfly — travel and expense management
- Voll — corporate travel and mobility management
- Vexpenses — expense and reimbursement management
- Flash — corporate expense and benefits management
- Open Trips — travel management
- Kontrip — travel and expense management
- Smartrips — corporate travel management
- Navan — travel and expense management
- Perk (formerly TravelPerk) — travel and expense management
Events
- Sympla — ticketing and event management platform, widely used for corporate events
OTA (online travel agencies)
They sell directly to consumers with a leisure focus — but are widely used by small companies for business trips.
- Booking — hotel and flight reservations
- Decolar (Despegar) — the largest OTA in Latin America (flights, hotels and packages)
- Airbnb — alternative accommodation, including corporate stays
- ClickBus — online bus ticket sales
Technology for travel tech
Companies providing the infrastructure and technology engines behind other travel techs.
- Blis.ai — artificial intelligence and data for the travel industry
- Omnibees — hotel distribution and booking technology
- B2B Reservas — B2B booking engine for the travel trade
- Wooba — booking technology and integration for the industry
- Envision — technology solutions for travel tech
How to choose the right travel tech for your company
- Define the main problem — fare savings, policy control, expense reporting, or all of them together?
- Compare models — an OBT with a single agency creates no competition; a corporate travel marketplace makes multiple agencies compete for your booking.
- Prefer the super app — the fewer disconnected tools (travel in one, expenses in another, reports in spreadsheets), the lower the operational cost.
- Check integrations — ERP, HR, corporate cards and expense tools must connect with the platform.
Conclusion
The Brazilian travel tech ecosystem is rich and covers the entire business travel journey. But the biggest savings come from competition: while metasearch engines compare sites and OBTs digitize booking, the corporate travel marketplace puts the agencies themselves in competition for your business.

Frequently asked questions
Which are the leading travel techs?
The market splits into corporate travel marketplace (Loupit), metasearch (Google Flights, Skyscanner, Kayak, Trivago), OBTs (Argo, Lemontech, WTS, Reserve, Concur), travel and expense management (Uniglobe, Paytrack, Onfly, Payfly, Voll, VExpenses, Flash, Open Trips, Kontrip, Smartrips, Navan, Perk), events (Sympla), OTAs (Booking, Decolar, Airbnb, ClickBus) and infrastructure (Blis.ai, Omnibees, B2B Reservas, Wooba, Envision).
Which travel tech should we choose to cut costs?
If price is the goal, start with a solution that puts several corporate travel agencies in competition for the same request. Management tools organize the process, but only multi-agency comparison attacks the fare itself.
Does a corporate travel marketplace replace our agency?
No. The marketplace keeps agencies as suppliers and makes their offers compete, so the company keeps human service and gains price comparison.
What is the difference between metasearch and a corporate marketplace?
Metasearch shows retail prices with no policy, approval or corporate invoicing. A corporate marketplace delivers comparison plus travel policy, approvals, cost centers, invoicing and reporting.
Does travel tech work outside major hubs?
Yes. Loupit serves companies across Brazil and Latin America — São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, Mexico City, Bogotá, Santiago and Buenos Aires — with local and national vetted agencies.
What is a corporate travel super app?
An all in one platform combining flights, hotels, urban mobility, expense, cashback and reporting in a single flow, reducing integrations and rework.
