ISTANBUL, TURKEY, August 23, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- TravelDistro, a business-to-business travel API marketplace, today launched a single unified platform that lets travel agencies buy tickets, tours, transfers, car rental, eSIM and hotel inventory across Türkiye through one API contract.

TravelDistro is an API-first travel distribution platform: one API key and one prepaid balance connect agencies to 33 API partners across six product verticals and nine destinations in Türkiye. The platform currently processes about 38,000 quote requests per day and serves roughly 60,000 passengers per year.
Traditional travel agencies integrate a separate system for every product line, negotiating individual contracts and reconciling multiple balances. TravelDistro replaces that fragmentation with one credential, one wallet and a single, consistent contract for all six verticals.

"Travel distribution works better as infrastructure," said Alper Tekin, founder of TravelDistro. "We built the marketplace we always wanted as operators — one integration that behaves like a modern payments API instead of six brittle connections."

The platform supports multi-currency pricing and settlement in Turkish Lira, US Dollar, Euro and British Pound, with API content and support in English, Turkish, Persian and Spanish. Every request is signed with HMAC-SHA256 and is safely retryable through idempotency keys, so network failures never result in double bookings.

Rather than returning opaque server errors, TravelDistro returns catalogued, machine-readable error codes with human explanations and retry hints — a "zero 500s by design" approach borrowed from modern financial APIs.

TravelDistro is built by a group with hands-on tourism operations across İstanbul, Edirne and Dubai, spanning tour operations, software, data and media companies. The team also publishes peer-reviewed research on travel distribution, DMC economics and inbound markets in Türkiye.
Travel agencies and developers can browse the OpenAPI reference and test against simulated inventory using sandbox keys before going live.
