TRAPOL Expands Horizons with Compass Group Collaboration

In an exciting development within the travel industry, TRAPOL, a startup born from the Kansai Electric Power Group’s in-house venture initiative, has joined forces with the Compass Group. This strategic collaboration aims to amplify travel experiences by connecting more people with meaningful destinations. Founded in 2019, TRAPOL has developed over 100 travel content offerings in partnership with local communities, all centered around the belief that transformative travel experiences are rooted in genuine human connections.

From exhilarating experiences in deserted islands to immersive art saunas, TRAPOL has continuously sought to create a world where every travel destination is filled with friends waiting to be met. The mission to foster these enriching relationships is also coupled with the ambition of expanding these unique experiences to a broader audience.

The partnership with Compass Group brings a wealth of resources and expertise to TRAPOL's initiatives. With a proven track record of managing over 500 private accommodations and a network of more than 3,500 local guides, Compass Group opens a new chapter for TRAPOL, equipping it to enhance the design of travel experiences locally and on a global scale.

This collaboration is more than just a financial agreement; it is a confluence of visions. TRAPOL's commitment to enabling life-changing travel is in perfect alignment with Compass Group’s goal to innovate travel destinations and lead the landscape of Japanese tourism. By continuing its existing brand and management structure, TRAPOL aims to leverage this partnership to elevate its service offerings, enhance content value, and achieve significant scale.

In a statement, TRAPOL’s founder, Kengo Moriwaki, expressed his enthusiasm about the partnership, stating, "By adding the experience of 'meeting someone we want to meet' to travel, we have enriched people's lives through transformative journeys. I am confident that partnering with a strong ally like Compass will help us deliver this value to even more people. The future of travel lies within local communities, and TRAPOL will continue to cherish these connections as we move forward."

The essence of this partnership lies in the shared vision of connecting people to explore diverse cultures and locales, ultimately leading to deeper understanding and appreciation of our world. Together, they aim to create fresh, curated travel experiences that not only broaden horizons but also enrich lives.

In addition to expanding travel opportunities, the collaboration has significant implications for local communities as well.

TRAPOL’s dedication to creating invaluable experiences through authentic connections continues to set it apart in the travel industry. With Compass Group as a powerful ally, TRAPOL is poised to not only lead in domestic travel but to influence international tourism as well.
