About Trip Builder

A trip designed only for you —
that's why we exist

Trip Builder is an AI travel-tech company building global smart-tourism infrastructure
and removing the barriers to travel.

Our story

In an age of personalized travel,
we started ahead of the curve.

Trip Builder began at a UNIST travel club — small trips with friends.

To help every group member enjoy a truly personalized trip, we developed travel-personality analysis and itinerary-design algorithms powered by AI and big data — and discovered that the travel industry needed exactly this.

As the startup "Trip Builder," we keep expanding our reach so anyone can plan a one-of-a-kind trip with ease.
