Hot 25 Startups 2019: Journy

Journy is not aimed at those who want to do things quickly and simply. Its model of curated and personalized travel recommendations is for people who want a bit of TLC (travel agent-style) as they plan a trip, and are willing to pay for the service.

A feature that taps into the foodie travel zeitgeist is the addition of experts in their respective fields to recommend things to do in destinations based on food, drink and culture.

Goals for 2019

In 2019, Journy will be focused on applying its learnings from the almost 6,000 trips its planned for travelers to improve its product and experience. That means a new mobile app, better tools for its trip designer team and investing heavily in content that will better help travelers decide on the best destination for their next trip.
