TRVL: Pioneer in Price Transparency – Our Strategic Choice that Became a European Standard

ATHENS, January 11, 2026 – While the Online Travel Agencies (OTA) sector is adapting today to the new requirements of the European Union and the Digital Markets Act (DMA), TRVL confirms its leading position, having adopted the model of absolute price transparency as a fundamental pillar of its operation for years.

For TRVL, the integration of all mandatory charges (taxes, fees, cleaning costs) into the initial price that the customer sees is not a recent compliance measure, but a long-standing commitment. Our platform has been designed from day one so that visitors know the real cost from the first second of their search, eliminating unpleasant surprises at checkout.

CEO Statement

The CEO of TRVL, Panagiotis Athanasakopoulos, stated:

"At TRVL, we didn't wait for new regulations to do what is obvious. Transparency is in our DNA. From our founding, we invested in systems that show the clear and final price, protecting consumers and building trust relationships. We are pleased that the new European directives and Law 5170/2025 are now aligned with the standards we have set in the market for some time. For us, 'transparency' is not a legal term, it is our promise to every traveler."

TRVL as a Reference Point for Property Owners

Thanks to timely preparation and the advanced infrastructure of TRVL Extranet, our partners (property owners) are already protected against changes. Unlike other platforms that are forced into abrupt adjustments, TRVL:

• Already displays all mandatory charges comprehensively, ensuring that no listing is at risk of downgrading due to ambiguity.
• Features a simplified commission structure, allowing hosts to focus on hospitality rather than complex tax calculations.
• Guarantees full compliance with the hygiene and certification requirements of the new framework, having already integrated relevant fields in property settings.

TRVL continues to lead developments in the tourism sector, proving that business ethics and full consumer information are the only ingredients for the sustainable growth of digital tourism.
