About
Tern is on a mission to empower travel advisors with the technology they deserve. By reimagining the outdated systems that have long bogged down the travel industry, we’re giving advisors the tools they need to modernize their operations and deliver exceptional, personalized travel experiences. Combining best-in-class software with a deep understanding of the unique challenges advisors face, Tern is the only all-in-one platform designed to free travel professionals from manual, repetitive tasks—so they can focus on what truly matters: crafting unforgettable journeys. Tern’s origin story began in a parking lot in Greece, where our CEO David missed a ferry and spent hours waiting in the heat. Reflecting on how his in-laws used a travel advisor for their trips, he realized how invaluable personalized, expert guidance could be.
