About Travelario

Our Founding

Travelario was founded with the vision of disrupting traditional timeshares, through cutting-edge blockchain technology and an innovative tokenization model.

Our leadership team brings together decades of experience in real estate, hospitality, and technology, united by a shared mission of creating a more cost-effective and accessible travel solution.

We believe that travel should be affordable, flexible, and rewarding. By combining the cost savings of traditional timeshares with the scale and efficiency of modern travel technology, we've reimagined what vacation ownership looks like and how travelers can benefit from a modernized approach.

The history of timeshares paved the way for Travelario to enter, disrupt and forever change the industry

Early 1960s

- an industry is born

The concept of vacation ownership emerged in the early 1960s, marking the birth of the timeshare industry.

This innovative approach to vacationing allowed families to purchase a specific week or weeks at a resort property, providing them with guaranteed vacation time at their favorite destinations.

Late '60s

- innovation & shaping a new industry

During the late 1960s, the timeshare industry began to take shape with innovative marketing strategies and sales techniques.

Resort developers started to see the potential of this new vacation ownership model, leading to the establishment of industry standards and practices that would define the sector for decades to come.

'70s

- a period of rapid growth

The 1970s marked a period of explosive growth for the timeshare industry.

As more families discovered the benefits of vacation ownership, resorts across popular destinations began offering timeshare programs.

This decade saw the establishment of major timeshare companies and the development of exchange programs that allowed owners to trade their weeks at different locations.

'80s & '90s

- market maturity and saturation

The 1980s and 1990s represented a period of market maturity and saturation for the timeshare industry.

As the market became more competitive, companies focused on improving their products and services.

However, this period also saw the emergence of some of the industry's most persistent challenges, including high-pressure sales tactics and complex ownership structures that would later become pain points for consumers.

2000s & digital era

- a new chapter

By the mid-2000s, vacation ownership was consolidated with mostly big name hotel chains dominating.

Points-based systems began to replace floating or fixed week 'deeded ownership' products, and offered more flexibility to customers.

Google, and the internet in general, changed the way consumers researched timeshares, exchanged their stories, experiences, anecdotes and pricing information - and found many discrepancies.

Secondary marketplaces began to emerge, with online platforms giving dissatisfied customers an opportunity to sell their individual time intervals or exit their timeshare altogether.

By the social media era of the 2010s, user generated content from existing customers became the primary source of information for new prospective buyers.

The Tokenization of Timeshares

2025 - Enter Travelario

Travelario reimagined what timeshares could be if the entire product and business model were redesigned in 2025 - leveraging today's technology, and decades of customer usage data and feedback.

Through the latest in blockchain and tokenization technology - Travelario has implemented some of the most radical changes the industry has ever seen, with an aim to solve the industry's most well documented pain points.

Through the TRVLR Token, we managed to permanently eliminate annual maintenance fees, while also reducing the upfront cost of a timeshare, so customers pay once and never again!

Tokenization has facilitated an unrivaled level of customization - where Travelario members can ultimately decide for themselves what they buy, how long they're signed up for, and most importantly, how they actually use the product.

TRVLR Tokens never expire and can be redeemed at your own pace, or re-sold to generate Airbnb-style rental income.

Improved usability, cost-effectiveness and enhanced transparency is helping us to pioneer a new era in travel ownership.
