Julian Lala, 10euro.travel
Helping Albanians explore the world with a convenient all-things-travel platform with a creative touch
Julian Lala is a travel agent and social media-savvy travelfluencer who wanted to help travelers in his native Albania book travel online. This passion stems, in part, from the fact that his compatriots aren’t knowledgeable about the benefits of online travel booking – they still prefer to go to in-person travel agencies, which, as a rule, overcharge. Julian recognized this gap and a business opportunity, so he launched the White Label site 10euro.travel.
The website was geared towards Albanian travelers and their needs: featuring attractive flights and popular tours from Tirana. Julian also enhanced the user experience with car rental, trains, e-sim cards and additional travel services popular among his compatriots, turning the website into “a stop travel portal”.
The creative highlight of the website was the so-called “1 ticket map” showcasing different destinations across the world and the cheapest flight to get there from Tirana. The website quickly became popular. Travels loves its smooth user experience and easy way to find and compare the best deals. To monetize the traffic further Julian even launched the “Shop’ section with travel goods and added ads.
Through his social media audiences, which number in the thousands, Julian continues to push the website and make a name for himself as the go-to source for “10 euro travel deals” (the inspiration for his site name). In other words, he shares the travel deals that agencies typically hide or overcharge for, which helps drive customers to his White Label site.
With the website providing an additional source of income, Julian made enough money to open a travel agency in Tirana, the Albanian capital. There, Julian can help local travelers who aren’t comfortable or not able to book travel services online, a common trend in Albania.
Munya Dongo, TRAVEL EAZI
Opening a travel agency for business travelers as a side business for consulting company
M Dongo owns BNC International, a coaching and consulting business that frequently hosts events. As a result, he developed a keen understanding of the travel and hospitality industries and successfully grew his business.
After seeing just how often people travel for the events, both locally and internationally, M Dongo saw an opportunity to help his clients with their travel needs while generating additional revenue.
When M Dongo found Travelpayouts’ White Label service, he declared it was “love at first sight”. He launched TRAVEL EAZI, a “one-stop shop for your bookings, hotels, cars, bus tickets, metro, and for everything travel.” M Dongo was particularly impressed by the variety of travel services featured, the quality of the search engine, and the competitive pricing and valuable widgets offered by Travelpayouts.
But the personalized service doesn’t stop there. Leveraging his consulting background and close connection with the hospitality industry, M Dongo developed a smart upsell strategy in which travelers who book through TRAVEL EAZI are offered offline tours, itineraries, and other useful services after the initial booking is made, which became the main source of revenue. The response to a travel website has been very positive not only from his consulting clients, but also the general audience. They especially value the inclusion of regional airlines, allowing shorter travel time to the business trip destinations.
Martina Galli, TraveLoverMartina
Making dream European vacation a reality
Martina, the creator behind TraveLoverMartina, is on a mission to help travelers find the best deals in Europe, her native Italy, and beyond. Using Travelpayouts’ White Label solution, she designed a beautiful website that helps her readers compare and book flights, hotels, and car rentals from a variety of vendors.
She equipped it with many cool features like last minute cheap flights look up, compensation calculator for canceled flights and multiple destinations search bar.
The website also includes holiday package deals for destinations among European travelers and tickets for popular attractions like Park Güell or Oceanografic and Science Museum in Valencia.
Martina aimed to boost traffic, enhance user experience, and drive bookings and revenue for her site. However, managing integrations and crafting a user-friendly platform without a White Label solution proved challenging.
Despite having no previous programming experience, Martina easily set up her White Label site. The Travelpayouts solution is designed to simplify integration and customization. The clear and intuitive instructions made the process effortless, and Martina continues to manage the website on her own.
Now with access to countless travel brands through one solution, Martina soon saw her White Label site take off. According to the detailed performance reports she receives from Travelpayouts, Martina experienced significant growth in website traffic, bookings, and revenue, while also increasing competitiveness. Improved user satisfaction led to higher loyalty and repeat business.
Here’s what Martina had to say about her experience: “My experience with Travelpayouts’ White Label solution has been extremely positive. The service and support I received were exceptional, and the platform contributed significantly to the success of my site. I would definitely recommend this solution to other entrepreneurs in the travel industry.”
Stephen Adeniyi, Eagle Travels
Overcompeting African travel providers with lower prices and helping families explore the world
Originally from Nigeria, Stephen fell in love with travel as a student. He was lucky enough to get into the UN-sponsored program that gave him a significant discount on his flights and travel across the world. “This is when I realized I want other [people] from less prosperous families to be able to explore the world”, says Stephen.
Years later, already a software engineer in Canada, he realized his dream with the help of Travelpayouts White Label Web. In a single day, Stephen set up a website called eaglestravels.com with the slogan “It’s a big world. Go explore.”
It became the “all things travel” website specifically focusing on family needs. It offers flights, hotels, airport transports, tours, and visa services, and Stethen earns a commission for each booking.
The business found its product market fit in family travelers from Nigeria looking to visit Canada. “I think my website is especially popular in Africa because of the prices. Fares provided by White Label Web are significantly lower than those offered by the local African providers, who take high markup commissions”. Stephen’s clients also take advantage of his “fare calendar” powered by White Label Web. The calendar helps to find travel dates for flights and hotels with the lowest fares.
Eaglestravels.com popularity grew through word of mouth. “The best part is that I don’t need to do much to run this business”. Stephen sees that the business started attracting clients outside of Africa. He plans to focus on international expansion through social media campaigns and helping clients with visa services.
Kennedy Makuna, Travel Nenda
Finding and monetizing his niche with local airlines.
Kennedy’s White Label site travel.nenda.co began as a personal solution to finding affordable flights for his family to Nairobi. Recognizing the potential to grow the site into a side business, he expanded it into a full-scale travel service for the budget traveler.
Kennedy was surprised at how easy it was to integrate the White Label software and how little he needed to do to maintain it (no more than five hours a week!).
The website focuses primarily on inbound flights to the African continent, but Kennedy soon learned that the domestic market was virtually untapped – there is a high demand for regional travel but little knowledge or promotion of regional airlines and flights. Thanks to Travelpayouts, Kennedy’s White Label site is able to offer these regional services, which not only makes travel more convenient – you can fly to a local airport that’s closer to your destination – but also a lot more affordable.
When asked which factors have made his site successful in the face of bigger competitors, Kennedy immediately cited the competitive pricing and customizable booking features like luggage toggling, both of which have resulted in significant price savings and therefore improved customer satisfaction.
Abdulqader Maresh, Easycheapairfare.com
Abdulqader is passionate about the travel and tourism industry, but has found it challenging to offer cheap flight tickets to his readers. However, everything changed when he discovered Travelpayouts’ White Label solution. With it, he created EasyCheapAirfare.com, a travel metasearch website that helps travelers find the cheapest airfare deals in one convenient place.
Like many White Label creators, Adbulqader had no experience with coding. But in just three days Abdulqader got his White Label site up and running.
Wanting to accommodate any and every traveler, Adbulqader made sure that his search engine had a user-friendly interface that included bookings for flights, cars, and hotels.
Abdulqader promotes his website via X, Pinterest, and TikTok, and is looking to start optimizing his SEO strategy to boost his revenue even further.
