Investors have recently bet on a few long-term trends: outdoor recreation, smoother business travel, better digital identity management by the travel sector, and next-gen tour operators.
This week, travel startups announced more than $36 million in funding.
>>Loge, a hospitality company whose motel-like lodgings are tied to an outdoors and adventure sports theme, raised $15 million in Series A funding.
Round House, Brighton Jones Investment Partners, Colfam, and others took part in the round. The company had raised a $4.5 million seed round in 2018.
Loge offers places to stay in a handful of spots in the U.S. Pacific Northwest, and it targets surfers, mountain bikers, and other outdoor enthusiasts with lodging and rental equipment. For more context on the broader trend, see "RV and Outdoor Recreation Companies See a Boom in Bookings."
>>Z-Trip, a travel management company based in Shanghai, said it has raised a Series A round of financing led by DCM Ventures. It also has received a Series A extension led by entrepreneur Zhang Tao. The company didn't disclose the combined round's value but said it was more than $14 million.
