New York, NY — January 2024 — Expedition Software, a Vertica Capital Partners portfolio company and global provider of booking and management software for the tours and activities industry, today announced the acquisition of Checkfront, a leading North American booking platform for tour operators, activity providers, and attractions.
The acquisition significantly strengthens Expedition Software’s presence in the North American market and adds thousands of operators to its global customer base.
Building a Global Tours & Activities Platform
Expedition Software was formed in November 2023 through the combination of Rezdy, a market leader in the Asia-Pacific region, and Regiondo, a leading platform in Europe. The addition of Checkfront brings a strong and complementary North American footprint, creating a truly global platform that serves tour and activity operators across every major geography.
Checkfront’s platform provides online booking, availability management, payment processing, and channel distribution tools that help operators grow their businesses and deliver seamless guest experiences. The software is trusted by thousands of operators across Canada and the United States.
Scale and Specialization
The tours and activities sector is one of the fastest-growing segments of the global travel industry, yet it remains one of the least digitized. Many operators still rely on manual processes, spreadsheets, or disconnected point solutions to manage their businesses. Expedition Software’s combined platform provides the modern, purpose-built technology these operators need to grow.
By bringing together Rezdy, Regiondo, and Checkfront, Expedition Software can invest at a scale that individual regional players cannot — in product development, global distribution partnerships, and customer support.
“Checkfront is the ideal addition to Expedition Software’s platform. Their strong brand, loyal customer base, and deep product capabilities in North America complement our existing strengths in Asia-Pacific and Europe. Together, we can serve operators wherever they are and wherever they want to grow.” — Philip Vorobeychik, Managing Director and Co-Founder
