The $1.2T+ travel market grows 10.5% annually — yet 40% of local experiences go unsold.
The problem isn’t demand, it’s a broken system that leaves local providers invisible and travelers unable to find what they truly want.
From homestays to local tours, travelers seek authentic experiences — yet they remain buried on outdated platforms.
Providers have amazing offerings — but no visibility.
And even when these experiences are found, they often cost a fortune due to platform markups and inefficiencies.
This disconnect is costing the industry billions.
Nobody’s solving it — yet.
70% of vacation spending happens after flights and hotels — yet traditional platforms barely tap into this $800B+ opportunity. Their primary focus remains on flights and hotel bookings, leaving experience-based spending overlooked.
Local homestays, experiences, and rentals are often managed by offline or small-scale providers. Even when listed online, they’re buried under generic, global offerings, making authentic discovery difficult or impossible.
Most platforms use static pricing that ignores real-time demand or local trends. Meanwhile, commission fees of 30–45% squeeze small scale providers and drive up costs for travelers — making authentic experiences less accessible and less profitable.
We’re not just creating another marketplace. ExploreBees is an AI-driven ecosystem that unifies discovery, pricing, and booking into one seamless platform — designed to solve the fundamental flaws legacy systems haven’t even touched.

The global travel market exceeds $1.2 trillion and is growing at 10% year-over-year — but the real momentum isn’t in flights or hotels. It’s in what comes after: authentic, experience-first travel. That’s where the next wave of value lies — and that’s exactly where ExploreBees is focused.
70% of travel spending happens after flights and hotels are booked — yet most platforms focus only on the booking stage, ignoring the bigger opportunity in on-ground experiences.
Spending on local experiences is growing twice as fast as traditional segments like flights and hotels — and is expected to exceed $1.5 trillion globally by 2027.
Today’s fastest-growing travel demographic — Gen Z and Millennials — are choosing authentic local experiences over packaged tours or resorts, reshaping how and where billions are spent.
Yet the platforms dominating travel today are still built for yesterday — focused on accommodation and transport, not what people actually value most. ExploreBees is positioned at the intersection of this shift — building the infrastructure for the next era of travel. .
