Our take
Most holiday-goers in the US prefer to book their activities and experiences online - but when it comes to local operators, this isn’t always possible. FareHarbor has been developing software to help digitize the booking process for these smaller businesses and, over a decade, has brought thousands of them onto the books.
Along the way, FareHarbor also built up some strong momentum in the reservation management and distribution areas of the sector, which drove up the company’s valuation - making it a prime candidate for acquisition. Whilst TripAdvisor reportedly made multiple bids, FareHarbor ultimately went to Booking Holdings, the US’ largest vendor of tour company booking software.
This put FareHarbor in a strong position, enabling it to focus on customer acquisition (and insulating it somewhat from wobbles in the hospitality sector.) A 2025 global integration with Booking.com sees FareHarbor's network of operators gain direct reach to millions of travellers, while allowing Booking.com to expand its attractions offering.
