In 2005, two restless entrepreneurs founded a startup in the heart of one of the world’s travel hot spots—Athens, Greece. Ini ... tially called travelplanet24, our online travel agency is one of the largest and most recognized leaders in the industry. Our trusted brands, tripsta, airtickets and travelplanet24 are preferred by more than a million loyal travellers throughout the 50+ global markets that we presently operate in. Philipp Brinkmann, Co-founder & CEO, and Kristof Keim, Co-founder & CCO, set out to make their idea a reality by establishing the niche market of selling Greek ferry tickets online to tourists. As their business grew, so did their dreams. Their focus on ferry tickets expanded to include plane, train and car rentals and they successfully entered new markets. The startup quickly evolved into a growth company and was renamed to tripsta. In 2015, tripsta acquired “airtickets®” a leading competitor in southeast Europe and became a global success.
