Fact sheet
Cleartrip at a glance
Cleartrip started in Mumbai in 2006 as a consumer booking site for flights and later added hotels, trains, buses and activities. It runs separate sites for the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, and it became a Flipkart group company in 2021.
For businesses, Cleartrip runs a separate business channel for travel agents and companies, and it states that it offers travel APIs. PHPTRAVELS has no ready-made Cleartrip connector and no partnership with Cleartrip: the connection is built for you, against the access your own contract gives you.
