Tumodo, a trailblazing business travel platform founded in 2023, announced it has successfully raised $35 million in a pre-seed round co-led by MENA-focused angel investors.

Also, by 2026, the company plans to scale its platform to 25 more countries worldwide.
According to the Global Business Travel Association, the worldwide business travel market reached $933 billion in 2022 and is expected to reach $1.4tn pre-pandemic levels by 2024.
Moreover, the MENA’s business travel market is recovering the fastest and, in 2022, has already hit 86% of its 2019 levels.
By staying ahead of the trend, Tumodo makes it easy for businesses to book flights and hotels for several hundred employees within just 2 minutes.

According to the research, this difference reaches almost 15% in the Middle East market.
