Despegar, a leading travel tech company in Latin America, has partnered with Civitatis, a prominent platform for Spanish and Portuguese tours and activities, to integrate Civitatis' extensive catalogue into Despegar's platform. This strategic partnership will allow Despegar's 30 million customers to access a wide range of tours, excursions, and guided activities worldwide.
The collaboration leverages Despegar's strong presence in the Latin American market and Civitatis' expertise in the tours and activities sector. Andrés Spitzer, CEO of Civitatis, highlighted the significance of the partnership, stating, “Latin America is a strategic market for us, and partnering with a giant such as Despegar is key to our growth ambitions.” Iván Lovisolo, VP Global Partners at Despegar, added, “Through this partnership with Civitatis, we are strengthening our value proposition and taking another step forward in our mission to accompany travellers at every stage of their journey.”
Brazil is expected to play a crucial role in this partnership, given Despegar's strong foothold in the Brazilian market and Civitatis' leadership in Portuguese-speaking regions.
