TravelDistro Unveils Unified Travel Marketplace in Türkiye

TravelDistro, a business-to-business travel API marketplace, has launched a unified platform in Türkiye that allows travel agencies to buy tickets, tours, transfers, car rental, eSIM, and hotel inventory across six product verticals through one API contract.

The platform, which processes about 38,000 quote requests per day and serves roughly 60,000 passengers per year, supports multi-currency pricing and settlement in Turkish Lira, US Dollar, Euro, and British Pound. It also features a 'zero 500s by design' approach to error handling, returning catalogued, machine-readable error codes with human explanations and retry hints.

According to Alper Tekin, founder of TravelDistro, the platform is designed to work like a modern payments API, replacing traditional travel agencies' fragmentation with one credential, one wallet, and a single contract for all six verticals. The team behind TravelDistro has hands-on tourism operations experience across İstanbul, Edirne, and Dubai, spanning tour operations, software, data, and media companies.

Travel agencies and developers can browse the OpenAPI reference and test against simulated inventory using sandbox keys before going live. The platform currently supports API content and support in English, Turkish, Persian, and Spanish.
