UAE-based travel tech CleverTrip has raised a $750,000 pre-Seed round from an undisclosed angel investor.

Founded in 2017, CleverTrip is an online travel agency platform that aggregates travel agencies, hotels and aviation companies while serving as a one-stop-shop offering a myriad of travel-related services. CleverTrip also caters to the corporate segment by offering them customised packages.

As the travel industry still grapples with the Covid-19 pandemic and its impact, according to its co-founder Ibrahim Shaker, CleverTrip looks to empower traditional travel agencies by helping them establish an online presence. 

“Offline travel agencies have had spent a great deal of time thinking how to improve their way of work and how to prepare for the next phase. This is where CleverTrip comes in. We help travel agencies get out of the situation, giving them access to technology, content, curated packages, and promotions using our white label solution,” Shaker explained.

With the fresh funds, the company aims to improve its marketing efforts and boost its client base.
