The Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2025 was nothing short of extraordinary-and TPConnects was right at the center of the action. With a record-breaking 55,000 travel professionals from 166 countries and more than 2,800 exhibitors spanning 14 halls, ATM 2025 set a new benchmark for the global travel industry7. The energy on the show floor was palpable, and our booth quickly became a hub for airlines and travel sellers eager to see what’s next in travel technology.
Iris: Your Travel Aggregator Platform
This year, TPConnects put the spotlight on Iris, our next-generation plug-and-play aggregator platform. Built for travel sellers, Iris is designed to make shopping, selling, and servicing travel content effortless. With Iris, you can seamlessly access NDC, GDS, and LCC content-all in one place-while delivering personalized offers and streamlined workflows.
Three Revenue-Generating Engines: Powering Modern Air Retailing
What truly sets Iris apart are its three integrated, revenue-driving engines:
- Pricing Engine: Take control of your margins and respond to market shifts instantly with dynamic, rule-based pricing across all content sources.
- Commission Manager: Automate commission calculations and management, eliminating manual errors and ensuring every booking delivers its full revenue potential.
- Content Control: Fine-tune content display by channel, route, carrier, or cabin class. Present the right offer to every customer, every time.
With these tools, travel sellers can unlock new revenue streams, maximize operational efficiency, and deliver the kind of retailing experience today’s travelers expect.
Trip Captain: Conversational AI for Effortless Travel Selling
We also marked the debut of Trip Captain, our conversational AI agent. Trip Captain transforms the way travel is sold and serviced-making it as easy as chatting with a colleague. Imagine your team or customers shopping, booking, and managing travel with natural, intuitive conversations. That’s the power of Trip Captain, and it generated tremendous buzz throughout the event.
Strategic Partnerships: Expanding Iris’s Global Reach
We secured two major partnerships for Iris:
- Riyadh Air: We signed an agreement to integrate Riyadh Air’s unique NDC content and servicing capabilities onto Iris, strengthening our position in the Middle East.
- MaaS Travel and Tours (Rhythm Group): MaaS named Iris as their preferred aggregator and became our official reseller in Bangladesh, expanding our presence across Asia.
We also deepened collaboration with partners like Gerry’s, Kyte, and Irtehal, who recognized the transformative potential of Iris for modern air retailing.
Let’s Shape the Future Together
ATM 2025’s theme, “Global Travel: Developing Tomorrow’s Tourism Through Enhanced Connectivity,” was brought to life by innovations like Iris and Trip Captain7. For airlines and travel sellers, the message is clear: the future belongs to those who embrace intelligent aggregation, automation, and AI-driven retailing.
