About Vakay

Our story

Why we started Vakay

Personalized travel is a $198.5B market in 2026, headed to $370.73B by 2030. Travelers want a curated trip but don't have time to compare hotels, flights, and activities themselves — or don't trust the result when they do.

For Spring Break trip groups especially, planning turns into hours of tab-hopping and a group chat that stalls with no one making the final call. We built Vakay to fix that: tell us your group's plan, and we'll turn it into one shortlist, ready to book.
