TWAI ANNOUNCES ACQUISITION OF TRECCO TO EXPAND SOCIAL DISCOVERY AND EXPERIENCE RETAILING

TWAI announces the acquisition of Trecco, a community-driven social travel discovery platform that helps travelers uncover authentic experiences through peer-to-peer recommendations, creator advice and short-form video. The acquisition strengthens TWAI’s focus on connecting inspiration, retailing, and booking across its products. It also expands TWAI’s position in tours, activities and experiences.

Trecco helps travelers find and book experiences through creator videos, trip boards, and recommendations. The platform drives high engagement and conversion by connecting travelers with trusted, peer-driven recommendations, turning authentic inspiration into seamless bookings. Travelers are increasingly relying on authentic advice and content from real people when planning activities and Trecco bridges this gap from inspiration to booking.

The acquisition aligns with TWAI’s earlier additions of Travello and BackpackerDeals. Together, the group forms a single ecosystem that links social discovery, curated marketplaces, and retail distribution for travelers, operators, and creators.

The platform provides clear benefits.

  • Travelers get authentic content from real people. This helps them choose the right activities and plan with confidence.
  • Operators reach more global demand through Trecco, Travello, BackpackerDeals, and TWAI’s retail products. This increases visibility and conversion.
  • Creators use Trecco to publish content, build trip boards, and guide their social audiences to bookings. This creates new income opportunities with operators and brands.
  • Airlines and travel sellers gain higher attach rates when Trecco content appears within flight, hotel, and package shopping across TWAI’s retail products.
This acquisition strengthens our work to help airlines, travel sellers and operators deliver stronger retail experiences. Trecco adds social engagement, user generated content, and important data signals across the TWAI product suite.
— Mr. Trideep Aggarwal, CEO, TWAI
Trecco gives creators a larger stage and gives travelers trusted recommendations and content during planning. We are excited for Trecco’s next phase under TWAI’s leadership.
— Mr. Brett Newcomb, Co-Founder, Trecco

TWAI will begin phased integration of Trecco in early 2026. The Trecco brand will remain a stand-alone product. TWAI will share product updates and partner opportunities as integration moves forward.
