More about Hopper
At Hopper, we are on a mission to become the leading travel
platform globally - powering Hopper's mobile app, website and our
B2B business, HTS (Hopper Technology Solutions). By leveraging
massive amounts of data and advanced machine learning algorithms,
Hopper combines its world-class travel agency offering with
proprietary fintech products to bring transparency, flexibility and
savings to travelers globally. We have developed several unique
fintech solutions that address everything from pricing volatility
to trip disruptions - helping people travel better and save more on
their trips.
The Hopper platform serves hundreds of millions of travelers
globally and continues to capture market share around the world.
Ranked the third largest online travel agency in North America, the
Hopper app has been downloaded over 120 million times and has
become largely popular among younger travelers - with 70% of its
users being Gen Z and millennials.
While everyone knows us as the Gen Z and Millennial travel app,
Hopper has evolved to become much more than that. In recent years,
we've grown into a global travel agency and travel fintech provider
that powers some of the world's largest brands.
Through HTS, our B2B division, the company supercharges its
partners' direct channels by integrating our fintech products on
their sites or powering end-to-end travel portals. Today, our
partners include leading travel brands like Capital One, Nubank,
Air Canada and many more.
Here are just a few stats that demonstrate the company's recent
growth:
Hopper sells billion -worth of travel and travel fintech every
year. In 2023, over 1.3 billion trips were planned through the
Hopper app and our HTS partnerships. -
Our fintech products - including Price Freeze, Flexibility for Any
Reason and Flight Disruption Assistance - have exceptionally strong
CSAT because the terms are always clear, and customers receive
instant, no-questions-asked resolutions. -
Almost 30% of our app customers purchase at least one fintech
product when making a booking; and consumers are 1.6x more likely
to repurchase if they add fintech to their booking vs if they
booked just travel. -
Given the success of its fintech products, Hopper launched a B2B
initiative, HTS (Hopper Technology Solutions), which represents
more than 50% of the business.
-Through HTS, any travel provider (airlines, hotels, banks, travel
agencies, etc.) can integrate and seamlessly distribute Hopper's
fintech or travel inventory on their direct channels. As its first
HTS partnership, the company partnered with Capital One to
co-develop Capital One Travel, a new travel portal designed
specifically for cardholders. Other HTS partners include Air
Canada, Uber, CommBank, Nubank, Flair Airlines with many more in
the pipeline. -
Featured in Apple's Best of the App Store list of Essential Travel
Apps in 2023 and recognized by the likes of Fast Company's Most
Innovative Companies, Hopper has been downloaded over 120 million
times and continues to have millions of new installs each month.
Hopper is now the #3 largest online travel agency in North America
and 70% of our app customers are Gen-Z and millennials
travelers.
Hopper has raised over $750 million USD of private capital and is
backed by some of the largest institutional investors and banks in
the world. Hopper is primed to continue its acceleration as the
world's fastest-growing mobile-first travel marketplace. -
