NEW YORK, NY, May 7, 2026 – TripWorks, the first AI‑ and BI‑powered booking and operations platform built specifically for tour and activity operators, today announced that it has been named Travel Tour Platform of the Year in the 2026 TravelTech Breakthrough Awards. The annual program recognizes the most innovative companies, products and services shaping the future of travel technology, with thousands of nominations submitted from around the world.

 

TripWorks was selected for its operator‑built design, enterprise‑grade infrastructure, and its unique combination of AI automation and business intelligence that helps operators grow revenue, streamline operations and deliver exceptional guest experiences. The platform’s hybrid AI model supports everything from dynamic pricing and automated communications to real‑time reporting and operational workflows.

 

“We built TripWorks to give operators the kind of technology advantage that has historically only been available to the largest travel brands,” said Aaron Fessler, Founder and CEO of TripWorks. “Being recognized by the TravelTech Breakthrough Awards is a meaningful validation of our approach, and of the operators who have trusted us to power their growth.”

 

The TravelTech Breakthrough Awards are part of the Tech Breakthrough organization, which evaluates innovation across the most competitive areas of technology, including IoT, AI, cybersecurity, fintech, digital health and mobile. Winners are selected based on innovation, performance, ease of use, functionality, and overall impact on the travel and hospitality ecosystem.

 

TripWorks’ recognition places it alongside leading global travel brands honored across other categories this year, including Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia Group, SAP Concur and Mews.

 

This award follows a period of rapid momentum for TripWorks, including its recent $6M Series A funding round, expansion of its AI and analytics capabilities, and continued growth across North America and Europe.
