Users today have become accustomed to intuitive app interfaces that drive inspiration in any number of ways, Tik Tok is the prime example.

Travel is a big legacy environment where customers are underwhelmed by traditional travel sites with a standard three box search (destination, start date, end date), followed by static images and text-heavy descriptions that fail to capture the essence of destinations or inspire users to Book.

The opportunity we see is solving the disconnect between digital natives who are used to searching and shopping through gesture driven, inspirational social media videos and the legacy travel agency model (online and offline) who haven’t embraced this dynamic short-form video capability.

Super Reel Travel is a video-first app that brings inspiration, trip planning, collaboration and booking into one seamless experience. Travellers explore destinations through short-form, creator-led video but unlike Tik Tok or Instagram, every piece of content is actionable. An AI travel assistant sits on top of the feed, letting users ask questions, refine ideas, and turn what they’re watching into a real bookable trip.
