"One click away" from your next vacation
Demand for travel is surging back. Adventure-hungry millennials are looking to social media for destination ideas and ways to responsibly travel post-COVID. Influencer marketing is more powerful than ever before - yet there’s no one there to connect the dots. That’s where Luxury Travel Hackers steps in.
As a first mover in the post-COVID travel sector, we’ve created a one-stop shop that generates traveler bookings through collaborations with over 150 social media influencers. Our technology will slowly remove the human element from the concierge experience as we scale and also provide an extra layer of 24/7 critical support by navigating the changing complexities of the industry.
THE PROBLEM
Social media inspires wanderlust, but leaves the rest to the traveler
Travel is one of the most popular categories on social media, however no one is converting this valuable content into actual travel bookings. With 86% percent of people saying they become interested in locations they see on social media (source), there is a huge opportunity to bridge the gap between travel inspiration and travel purchases.
(Source)
A social media user who decides their next destination as a result of influencer content is left to figure out the planning on their own. Travelers spend an average of 10-20 hours of additional research across multiple websites (source), plus even more time to research various COVID protocols - all to build a vacation that was just presented to them. With such incredible destinations on display, influencers and content creators are not providing easy, actionable opportunities for their followers to book similar trips.
THE SOLUTION
Converting travel content into travel bookings
With Luxury Travel Hackers, you’re only "one click away" from booking the glorious vacation you just saw on social media. We turn followers into customers through a simple user experience: Custom travel content is shared via our influencer network and paid ads. With just a click or a swipe, users can book the trip they just saw right on the spot making us the “Shop Your Trip” company.
*The Luxury Travel Hackers app is not yet currently available on the general market.
Not only are all of our destinations carefully vetted, but we offer the extra layer of 24/7 customer support, providing tailored guidance on continually changing questions around health, safety, and regulations. Our influencers and travel offerings tap into a variety of traveler types and interests, from adventure and wellness to food and festivals to couples and families. We cover any type of travel a customer wants.
Our products include vacation packages, custom itineraries, VIP services, corporate and remote work, with additional revenue coming through licensed content, brand collaborations, advertising, and partnerships with tourism boards and travel vendors. We make a 15–20% commission on each booking (estimated average of $3K per person), which we split 50/50 with our influencers.
THE MARKET
The intersection of two massive markets
Tourism is a multi-trillion-dollar industry (source), and millennials—the world’s largest spending demographic—prioritize travel more than any other age group (source). Our products will target the 14 million US-based millennials earning between $80K–$250K a year.* After that we will expand to other demographics and capture Gen Z travelers as they enter the market.
*This statistic was calculated by Luxury Travel Hackers using data from the following sources: 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5
We believe this powerful demographic is adventurous, diverse, well-traveled, digitally native, and driven by opportunities for new experiences. Luxury Travel Hackers ensures our travel offerings align with the millennial approach to responsible travel, with spending focused on experiences over material goods.
(Source | Source | Source | Source)
Nobody else in this space is leveraging influencer content for travel bookings at scale, and very few millennial travel brands are offering an added level of service which can kill the LTV (Lifetime Value) of a customer. We plan to position ourselves at the nexus of influencer marketing and millennial demand, which will set us apart from any of our competitors.
OUR TRACTION
Positioned to partner with over 150 influencers with a combined reach of over 50 million
Luxury Travel Hackers experienced a hugely successful beta launch in August 2021, kicking off with $350K in sales and bringing over 6,500 people into our sales funnel. We’re currently onboarding over 150 influencers with a combined social reach of 50M and counting. We’ve produced over 100 packages of eye-grabbing original content for 7 international and 30 domestic destinations, and as an early-stage company, we’ve been able to pivot to designing around customer priorities and concerns in traveling post-COVID.
As we prepare for a formal market launch in Q1 of 2022, this current round of investment will go directly into technology, marketing, and operations in order to build on our current momentum.
WHY INVEST
A new leader in the travel content space
Luxury Travel Hackers is breaking new ground in today’s travel industry, and we’re looking at enormous opportunities ahead. We’ll be rapidly expanding our social following to become a leader in the travel content space, where we’ll serve a wider, more inclusive customer base. We are currently in talks with influencers from the LGBTQ, minority, and disabled communities with the goal of providing travel offerings catered to individuals from those groups who often feel excluded from travel opportunities.
Our growing team of influencers will unlock new audiences, generating increasing exposure for our brand and products. By year three, we anticipate Luxury Travel Hackers attracting the interest of companies such as Airbnb and Booking Holdings for potential acquisition. It’s an incredibly exciting adventure ahead, and we’d love for you to join us.

Well, it's been quite a journey and we have been insanely busy the last month with bookings!

We are working hard to get our tech complete to fully automate the booking process and we are close! We are now also in final talks with 4 venture funds wanting to come in and fill the rest of the round. The timing is very good for travel and very good for us! Special thanks to everyone who has invested so far and we can't wait to share this journey with you.

DIVERSE INVESTMENTS
Invest in over 200 start-ups and collectibles!
With Regulation A+, a non-accredited investor can only invest a maximum of 10% of their annual income or 10% of their net worth per year, whichever is greater. There are no restrictions for accredited investors.
With Regulation Crowdfunding, non-accredited investors with an annual income or net worth less than $124,000, are limited to invest a maximum of 5% of the greater of those two amounts. For those with an annual income and net worth greater than $124,000, he/she is limited to investing 10% of the greater of the two amounts.
At the close of an offering, all investors whose funds have “cleared” by this time will be included in the disbursement. At this time, each investor will receive an email from StartEngine with their Countersigned Subscription Agreement, which will serve as their proof of purchase moving forward.
Please keep in mind that a company can conduct a series of “closes” or withdrawals of funds throughout the duration of the campaign. If you are included in that withdrawal period, you will be emailed your countersigned subscription agreement and proof of purchase immediately following that withdrawal.
StartEngine assists companies in raising capital, and once the offering is closed, we are no longer involved with whether the company chooses to list shares on a secondary market, or what occurs thereafter. Therefore, StartEngine has no control or insight into your investment after the close of the live offering. In addition, we are not permitted to provide financial advice. You may want to contact a financial professional to discuss possible investment outcomes.
For Regulation Crowdfunding, investors are able to cancel their investment at any point throughout the campaign up until 48 hours before the closing of the offering. Note: If the company does a rolling close, they will post an update to their current investors, giving them the opportunity to cancel during this timeframe. If you do not cancel within this 5-day timeframe, your funds will be invested in the company, and you will no longer be able to cancel the investment. If your funds show as ‘Invested’ on your account dashboard, your investment can no longer be canceled.
For Regulation A+, StartEngine allows for a four-hour cancelation period. Once the four-hour window has passed, it is up to each company to set their own cancelation policy. You may find the company’s cancelation policy in the company’s offering circular.
Once your investment is canceled, there is a 10-day clearing period (from the date your investment was submitted). After your funds have cleared the bank, you will receive your refund within 10 business days.
Refunds that are made through ACH payments can take up to 10 business days to clear. Unfortunately, we are at the mercy of the bank, but we will do everything we can to get you your refund as soon as possible. However, every investment needs to go through the clearing process in order to get sent back to the account associated with the investment.
Both Title III (Regulation Crowdfunding) and Title IV (Reg A+) help entrepreneurs crowdfund capital investments from unaccredited and accredited investors. The differences between these regulations are related to the investor limitations, the differing amounts of money companies are permitted to raise, and differing disclosure and filing requirements. To learn more about Regulation Crowdfunding, click here, and for Regulation A+, click here.
