Solustiq, a Turkey-based software and artificial intelligence company, has positioned itself as the nation’s first vertical AI company tailored specifically for the global travel and tourism industry. Operating from Edirne with additional offices in Istanbul and Dubai, Solustiq focuses on developing AI infrastructure designed to modernize the world’s largest service industry, which contributes over $11 trillion to global GDP and employs one in ten workers worldwide. Despite its significance, the travel sector remains one of the least technologically advanced, prompting Solustiq’s commitment to vertical AI solutions that cater to the unique needs and challenges of the industry.
Unlike generic AI solutions, Solustiq aims to address specific pain points within the travel technology stack through a diverse portfolio of AI-native products. These include DataGreat, an AI market intelligence platform with over 38 modules for competitive research; SkilledAgents, a no-code platform enabling travel agencies to create AI agents for booking and customer service; VibePy, an AI code generation engine that accelerates product development; and Vuln0x, an AI penetration testing platform for safeguarding client data. These products share a common foundation of domain-specific training data and integrate with industry-standard protocols like OCTO and TURSAB-compliant frameworks.
Solustiq’s approach is not merely theoretical. The company collaborates closely with its sister operation, Safaryar Holidays, a TURSAB-licensed B2B hotel wholesaler and destination management company based in Istanbul. This partnership allows for real-world application and feedback of Solustiq’s tools, with agency partners across Europe, the Gulf, and Central Asia using them daily. Additionally, Solustiq manages over 90 travel-related domains, such as hagiasophia.com and galatatower.com, which serve as channels for AI-generated travel intelligence content and distribution.
According to Alper Tekin, Founder and CEO of Solustiq, the year 2026 represents a pivotal moment for vertical AI in travel, driven by three main forces. First is the challenge to the longstanding dominance of legacy GDS oligopolies like Amadeus, Sabre, and Travelport by AI-native infrastructure providers. Second, the economics of “build vs. buy” have shifted, enabling small and mid-sized travel agencies to access AI solutions at SaaS price points. Third, regulatory developments in the EU and Turkey, including Turkey’s Cybersecurity Law 7545, are pushing for modernization that legacy systems cannot meet. Tekin emphasizes that Solustiq is not simply urging the travel industry to adopt AI, but to opt for solutions built by those who truly understand the industry’s intricacies.
Solustiq, officially known as Solustiq Yazılım ve Yapay Zeka Teknolojileri A.Ş., was founded by Alper Tekin, who brings experience from running TURSAB-licensed B2B travel operations through Safaryar Holidays. With a focus on creating AI-native software for the global travel and tourism industry, Solustiq continues to expand its reach and impact in the sector, offering a range of products that address the unique demands of travel technology.
