Smarter Communication for Tour Operators 

Clear, timely communication is essential at every stage of travel—from planning and booking to on-the-ground support. Yet for many tour and activity operators, relying on emails and phone calls can slow response times, create friction, and lead to missed opportunities. Chirrup was built to solve that challenge. 

Founded by travel industry veterans Brent Ramirez and Joanne Howard, Chirrup is a communication platform designed specifically for tour and activity operators. The platform brings calling, texting, and AI-assisted guest communication into one system, making it faster and easier to connect before, during, and after an experience.  

With Chirrup, all customer-facing conversations across voice, text, and automated workflows live in one place. Operators can respond more quickly, improve the guest experience, and prevent common issues caused by missed calls, unanswered messages, or overlooked follow-ups, with AI supporting faster, more consistent responses. Companies are capturing revenue from missed opportunities, supporting more guests without adding staff, and increasing the number of high-quality customer reviews. 

“As a start-up in the travel industry, we’re focused on connecting with the right partners and learning from other travel tech companies,” said Brent Ramirez, Co-Founder and Head of Product at Chirrup. “Travel Tech creates opportunities for collaboration that can directly support customer growth.” 

By keeping conversations connected across every touchpoint, with AI working in the background, Chirrup helps tour operators stay responsive and deliver better travel experiences.
