History
Co-founded in the Netherlands by entrepreneur Jochem Wijnands and tech/design specialist Michel Elings, TRVL started as a digital publication exclusively for iPad in 2010. It was the first iPad-specific magazine in the world and reached more than one million downloads.[1] [2]
Frustrated with the available publishing software, the TRVL team developed Prss, a mobile-first publishing platform. The Prss team and IP was acquired by Apple in 2014 to help create the Apple News Format.[3]
In 2015 Wijnands left Apple and pivoted TRVL into a booking platform aimed at travel agents.[4]
