FamGuru, the travel technology company founded by industry veteran, Carrie Wallace, is celebrating a milestone with its first anniversary this month. Since its inception, the company has made significant strides in transforming how FAM trips are planned, managed and monetized.
Investment Success and User Engagement
FamGuru has raised $450,000 in investment capital from industry stakeholders and professional investors, and in just 12 months, the platform has welcomed 4,000 users. To date, users have planned over 2,000 FAM trips worldwide.
“We see tremendous opportunities ahead given the power of travel agencies. Last year agencies booked $114 billion in client travel. Technology is igniting the path to remarkable potential. FamGuru’s innovation will continue to drive efficiencies, boost ROI and promote industry growth in the process,” said Carrie Wallace, founder and CEO, in a press statement.
The platform is gaining momentum across the industry by attracting hotels, Destination Management Companies (DMCs), hospitality representation firms, wholesalers and travel advisors. Notable brands such as Four Seasons Hotels & Resorts, Jumeirah Hotels, Banyan Tree and St. Regis Hotels & Resorts have already adopted FamGuru software.
FamGuru has rolled out key upgrades aimed at enhancing user experience and efficiency. The platform now features interchangeable app and website interfaces, providing seamless functionality across all devices. A new messaging tool, FamGuru Messaging, offers a streamlined alternative to WhatsApp for industry communication. Suppliers can also create custom content libraries to save time and optimize workflows.
As the company nears its second anniversary, it is preparing to launch FamGuru for Agencies, a solution designed to centralize advisor FAM knowledge. Future developments include the introduction of FamGuru’s Cruise Capability and ongoing improvements to the user interface. Travel advisors can download the free app from the App Store and Google Play.
