TBO Tek Ltd., a leading global travel distribution platform, has launched Travel Bytes, a short-form travel news app designed specifically for the travel trade. Developed under TBO Academy, the new platform aims to provide industry professionals with quick and easily digestible news updates in a format optimised for modern consumption.
Announcing the launch, Gaurav Bhatnagar, Co-founder and Joint Managing Director, TBO Tek Ltd., said, “Travel Bytes is a new short-form travel news app specifically for the travel trade. The idea is to offer news in a format that we’re used to consuming, quick and easy flips through key updates. We hope that by spending just a few minutes a day on the app, users can stay informed about the latest happenings in the travel industry. We have many exciting plans for this, including bringing in courses and news directly from destinations.”
Emphasising the broader vision of TBO, Ankush Nijhawan, Co-founder and Joint Managing Director, TBO Tek Ltd., stated, “It’s a proud moment for us at TBO and TBO Academy to launch Travel Bytes today. This platform delivers news in a digital format using minimal words, which is crucial in today’s fast-paced world. However, we want to clarify that TBO Academy and Travel Bytes are not media companies. Instead, we will curate and present news from multiple sources, both within India and internationally, ensuring that travel professionals receive the most relevant updates.”
Nijhawan also highlighted the app’s potential reach, leveraging TBO’s extensive network. “This platform will enable industry players to connect with a broader audience than ever before. Given the vast number of travel agents we have in India, the largest in the country, trade media such as Travel Trade Journal (TTJ) will also benefit by reaching a wider audience through Travel Bytes. We encourage everyone to download the app, now available on both iOS and Google Play Store.”
Vidhu Lamba, Vice President of TBO Academy, highlighted the significance of this launch, “Travel Bytes is more than just a news app; it’s a knowledge hub for travel agents. With real-time and curated news updates, we empower our partners with the latest trends and developments at their fingertips.”
Built for both Android and iOS, the app will provide curated travel industry content, including market insights, policy updates, and expert opinions, helping travel agents make informed business decisions. Besides regular byte-sized travel content, it also has support for short and long-form video.
Vidhu further, emphasised, “TBO has always been at the forefront of digital transformation in the travel industry. Travel Bytes is a testament to our commitment to equipping travel professionals with timely, relevant information, enabling them to thrive in an evolving landscape.”
Travel Bytes is now available for download, reinforcing TBO Tek Limited’s mission to support and educate travel professionals globally.
