Who we are
About PHPTRAVELS in one paragraph
PHPTRAVELS builds self-hosted travel booking software for travel agencies, tour operators and OTAs. Founded in 2014, we have shipped one product ever since: a platform that connects to the GDS, NDC, hotel and activity suppliers you already sell, runs B2C and B2B portals from a single admin, and ships with its full source so you own what you deploy.
We work from offices in London and Lahore, and we keep improving the same platform release after release, as the timeline below shows.
To empower both newcomers and seasoned travel professionals by connecting them with specialists from technical fields, local businesses and services, so they can put together great trips.

At a glance
What PHPTRAVELS is, and what it is not
PHPTRAVELS is self-hosted travel booking and management software for travel agencies, tour operators, OTAs and other travel businesses. Agencies license it, run it on their own server under their own brand, and connect the suppliers they hold contracts with.
- Who it serves
- Travel agencies, tour operators, DMCs, OTAs, B2B travel distributors and the developers who build for them.
- What it provides
- Booking engines for flights, stays, tours, cars and more, B2B and B2C portals, a back office, payments and branded mobile apps.
- What it is not
- Not a travel agency, airline, hotel supplier, GDS or consolidator, not a booking site for travellers, and not connected to healthcare staffing.
- Suppliers and GDSs
- Amadeus, Sabre, Hotelbeds and other suppliers sell the inventory. PHPTRAVELS is the software that connects to them, using the agency’s own accounts.

Before 2020
The legacy versions, v6.0 to v7.2
