Our take
Booking travel tours and package holidays in exotic locations lead many people to seek logistics help from travel agents. However, the complexity of these packages often means there is little variety available at local branches with extremely high prices, raising the question as to why there is not a more modern and innovative solution available online.
Exoticca provides an online platform for the booking of holiday packages and tours, with a focus on curating luxury destinations that are chosen by travel experts and provided at heavy discounts negotiated through airlines and hotels. The company also aims to provide a frictionless end-to-end travel experience by covering insurance, ABTA and ATOL guarantees, free cancellation, and COVID-19 protection. After renewed funding in 2025, Exoticca is expanding its internationa; presence as well as deepening its commitment to AI-driven technology, so it can stay ahead in the ever evolving market.
Online travel agents have been around since the dawn of the internet, but Exoticca stands out with its focus on providing curated packages for travel enthusiasts at exclusive locations. Furthermore, the company’s emphasis on convenience and inclusivity ensures that every formality is handled, removing the complexity of travel packages and tours to open the market to a wider audience.
