The tours and activities segment, estimated  to be worth over $150 billion, represents 10% of the global travel market and is the third-largest travel segment in the travel industry after flights and accommodation. The segment is also one of the fastest growing in the industry, with Tripadvisor, Airbnb, and Expedia all making significant investments and inroads in tours and activities.

Viator is a leading marketplace for tours and activities around the world. Now, Travala.com's users will be able to take advantage of this integration to book any listings on Viator's marketplace.
