Along with strengthening its corporate travel management segment and introducing Dreampass, a new generation travel app, TrEvolution Group rapidly continues its global expansion with new advanced travel services launching in the second half of 2024.
Being a global travel market leader for over two decades, it has developed broad expertise in the Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) segment.
The VFR form of travel is also strongly indicated by its most popular travel destinations, with the United States, India, the Philippines, Italy, and Nigeria being the top five most-visited countries so far this year.
Compared to 2023, ticket sales to Italy have grown significantly, by 99%, and to India by almost 37%, while the US has shown a 24% growth, and Nigeria – another 17% increase, surpassing the United Kingdom, which was listed among the top five travel destinations in the same period last year.

A similar pattern was observed when defining the leading departure countries, where the United States, Canada, the Philippines, and India traditionally emerged among the most popular locations from which travellers flew.
Similarly to the previous year, most air passengers, or 90%, chose to fly Economy class, and one in every 11 travellers flew Business class in the first half of 2024.
In addition to this, round-trip was the most frequently selected trip type with an average of 2.3 times more tickets sold compared to one-way trips.
