How TripEngine Works

TripEngine is a marketplace that connects corporate and group travel buyers with experienced group travel planners through a library of real, customizable itineraries.

The problem we solve

Traditional group travel planning is slow and fragmented. Buyers send RFPs to multiple vendors, wait weeks for generic proposals, and often never hear back. Planners spend hours on spec work for deals that never close. TripEngine eliminates this by letting planners publish their real programs upfront — so buyers can evaluate the work before ever making contact.

How it works for buyers

  • Tell us about your group. Use our AI trip builder to describe your destination, group size, budget, dates, and what matters most to your team. This takes about 3 minutes.
  • Get matched with real programs. We surface expert-built group programs that match your brief. These are real itineraries built by planners who specialize in exactly what you need — not generic packages.
  • Customize and connect. Request a customized version of a program that fits your exact needs. Your planner handles everything from there.

    • What TripEngine is not

    TripEngine is not a booking platform. We do not take inventory, process bookings, or manage payments for travel services. We are the marketplace where buyers find and hire planners — the planner manages the rest.
