At Best of Best Review, every award is based on careful evaluation of a company's market position, innovation, customer value, operational excellence, and long term impact within its industry. After reviewing Refly Travel's business model, growth trajectory, technology platform, and contribution to the travel industry, Best of Best Review proudly recognizes Refly Travel as the Best Host Agency in Mexico of 2026.

This recognition reflects more than rapid business growth. It recognizes a company that transformed adversity into opportunity while redefining what independent travel professionals can expect from a modern host agency.

A Remarkable Story of Reinvention

Every successful company has a defining moment. For Refly Travel, that defining moment arrived during one of the most challenging periods the travel industry has ever experienced.

The company first entered the travel market in 2017 with a unique peer to peer marketplace that allowed travelers to resell unused airline tickets. The concept attracted national attention and received backing from investors on Shark Tank Mexico, validating the founders' vision and accelerating early momentum.

When the global pandemic disrupted international travel in 2020, the business faced the same uncertainty experienced across the aviation sector. Rather than closing its doors, the leadership used that period to analyze industry challenges, listen to market demand, and completely redesign its future.

On March 2, 2026, Refly Travel officially relaunched with a new mission as a B2B host agency focused on empowering independent travel advisors through advanced technology, education, and access to an extensive supplier network.

That strategic transformation became one of the strongest factors considered during Best of Best Review's evaluation process.

Innovation That Supports Modern Travel Advisors

One of the primary reasons Refly Travel earned this recognition is its commitment to innovation.

Many traditional host agencies continue to rely on legacy systems that require agents to navigate outdated software and manual processes. Refly Travel approaches the industry differently by providing technology that simplifies daily operations while allowing advisors to focus on building relationships with clients.

Its proprietary platform includes AI powered itinerary creation, live booking capabilities, and automation tools designed to reduce administrative work. Instead of replacing travel advisors, the technology enhances their productivity and helps them deliver faster, more personalized service.

During the evaluation process, Best of Best Review considered how effectively these tools improve the user experience while supporting sustainable business growth for independent travel professionals.

Building Opportunities Across Two Major Markets

Another important factor behind this award is Refly Travel's unique position within the North American travel industry.

As the first Mexican founded host agency, the company has successfully created a bridge between travel professionals in Mexico and the United States. Through a network of more than 10,000 global travel suppliers and travel partners, advisors gain access to resources that allow them to compete in an increasingly global marketplace.

This cross border approach expands opportunities for entrepreneurs while helping advisors serve clients across multiple destinations and travel categories.

Best of Best Review recognizes organizations that create meaningful value beyond their own operations, and Refly Travel's international ecosystem demonstrates that broader industry impact.

Strong Early Performance Demonstrates Market Demand

Business performance also played an important role in this year's evaluation.

Within only a few months following its March 2026 relaunch, Refly Travel reported more than $500,000 in sales while welcoming over 100 registered travel agents into its academy and technology platform.

Although early growth alone does not determine award recipients, measurable market adoption often reflects the strength of a company's products, leadership, and strategic direction.

The company's ability to generate momentum in a competitive industry suggests that its approach is meeting the evolving needs of today's independent travel professionals.

Leadership Focused on Entrepreneur Success

Behind every successful organization is leadership committed to solving real problems.

Under the direction of CEO Raymond Zeitouni Saba, Refly Travel has focused on creating practical solutions rather than simply expanding services. The leadership team's emphasis on technology, education, supplier relationships, and long term advisor success contributed significantly to Best of Best Review's decision.

One statement provided during the evaluation summarizes that philosophy clearly.

"Most host agencies give you a login to 20 year old software and wish you luck. We built Refly because modern travel entrepreneurs deserve modern tools. By putting cutting edge automation directly into the hands of independent agents, we are removing hours of backend friction so they can focus entirely on what they do best, designing unforgettable experiences."

This commitment to empowering entrepreneurs aligns closely with the standards Best of Best Review seeks when recognizing industry leaders.

Evaluation Criteria

Best of Best Review evaluated Refly Travel using multiple performance criteria relevant to the host agency industry.

The committee considered innovation in travel technology, customer focused platform design, business growth, leadership expertise, educational support for independent advisors, supplier network strength, cross border accessibility, operational efficiency, scalability, authenticity, market differentiation, and overall contribution to the future of the travel industry.

Refly Travel consistently demonstrated strong performance across these areas, supporting its selection as this year's recipient.

Why Refly Travel Stands Out

Modern travel advisors require more than access to supplier credentials. They need technology, education, mentorship, automation, and reliable business infrastructure.

Refly Travel has built its platform around those needs while maintaining a clear focus on helping independent entrepreneurs grow sustainable businesses.

Its ability to combine modern technology with personalized support distinguishes the company within an industry that continues to evolve rapidly.

Rather than following traditional models, Refly Travel has introduced an approach that reflects the expectations of today's travel professionals while preparing them for tomorrow's opportunities.

The company's remarkable transformation from startup, to industry disruption, to successful reinvention demonstrates how thoughtful leadership and strategic innovation can create lasting value. This recognition celebrates Refly Travel's continued dedication to helping travel entrepreneurs build stronger businesses while advancing the host agency industry throughout Mexico and beyond.
