With a single API key and one prepaid balance, travel agencies can access tickets, tours, transfers, car rental, eSIM, and hotel inventory throughout Türkiye.
Travel distribution functions more effectively as infrastructure, which is why we created a single integration that operates like a contemporary payments API.”— ALPER TEKIN
TravelDistro, a B2B travel API marketplace, has just introduced a consolidated platform enabling travel agencies to purchase tickets, tours, transfers, car rentals, eSIM, and hotel accommodations across Türkiye under a single API agreement.
TravelDistro operates as an API-first travel distribution platform: through a single API key and one prepaid balance, agencies gain access to 33 API partners spanning six product categories and nine locations in Türkiye. Currently, the platform handles approximately 38,000 daily quote requests and caters to around 60,000 passengers annually.
Conventional travel agencies must connect to separate systems for each product type, negotiate distinct contracts, and manage multiple balances. TravelDistro eliminates this fragmentation by offering one set of credentials, one wallet, and one uniform contract covering all six verticals.
"Travel distribution performs best when treated as infrastructure," stated Alper Tekin, founder of TravelDistro. "We developed exactly the marketplace we wanted as operators — a single integration that acts like a modern payments API rather than six fragile connections."
The platform accommodates multi-currency pricing and settlement in Turkish Lira, US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound, while API content and support are available in English, Turkish, Persian, and Spanish. Each request is secured via HMAC-SHA256 signing and can be retried safely using idempotency keys, preventing duplicate bookings from network interruptions.
Instead of sending vague server errors, TravelDistro provides catalogued, machine-readable error codes along with human-readable explanations and retry suggestions — a "zero 500s by design" philosophy adopted from contemporary financial APIs.
TravelDistro was created by a team with practical tourism experience in İstanbul, Edirne, and Dubai, covering tour operations, software, data, and media businesses. The group additionally releases peer-reviewed research on travel distribution, DMC economics, and inbound tourism markets in Türkiye.
Travel agencies and developers are able to review the OpenAPI documentation and experiment with simulated inventory using sandbox keys prior to launching.
