**The problem it solves** Travellers across Latin America lack a single regional platform covering flights, hotels, car rentals, and holiday packages in their local currency and language, with country-specific support. **What Despegar does** Despegar is a major online travel agency in Latin America, founded in 1999 in Buenos Aires and operating in 20 countries under the Despegar brand and as Decolar.com in Brazil. It is publicly traded and offers a broad regional travel inventory across flights, accommodation, packages, car rentals, and activities. **How it works** The platform aggregates inventory from airlines, hotels, and ground-transport providers into a single search and booking interface in Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Features include an AI-assisted travel assistant, a loyalty and benefits program, flight-plus-hotel bundle pricing, and a property listing tool for accommodation suppliers, with country-specific sites localising currency, language, and payment methods across Argentina, Mexico, Colombia, Brazil, Peru, Chile, and other markets. **Who it's for** Latin American consumers booking any type of travel, accommodation suppliers across the region wanting access to a large customer base, and international travellers originating from or visiting Latin American destinations.
