We are proud to announce that Hopper was honored by Deloitte’s 2024 Technology Fast 50™ program. The company ranked #1 in the Enterprise—Industry Leaders category, which recognizes the fastest-growing enterprise-level technology, media, and telecommunications companies by revenue growth percentage over their last four years of operation. This category is open to companies that recorded a minimum revenue of $10 million in 2020 and $50 million in 2023.
The Hopper app continues to be the travel booking platform of choice for younger travelers – the app has been downloaded 120 million times, and has ranked as a top travel app in over 70 countries. Leveraging machine learning algorithms backed by trillions of data points, Hopper is continually advancing its travel technology and offerings to best serve travelers.
Stemming from this success, Hopper launched HTS, its B2B division, which supercharges its partners’ direct channels with its travel agency and travel fintech products. Any travel provider can integrate and seamlessly distribute the company’s fintech or travel inventory on their direct channels. HTS also offers full end-to-end travel booking portals for financial institutions and other travel brands. Today, HTS accounts for 75% of the Hopper business, and reaches millions of travelers around the world.
“Hopper has experienced significant growth in the past few years, due in large part to the success of our B2B business,” said Fred Lalonde, CEO and Co-Founder of Hopper. “There is a huge opportunity to help banks, credit card companies and other travel brands provide a more data-driven, modern approach to travel. HTS is becoming the de facto partner to power travel businesses, and that is reflected in our ranking on this year’s Enterprise–Industry Leaders list.”
"The Enterprise—Industry Leaders exemplify the strength and resilience of Canada's business landscape, showcasing their ability to navigate challenges and drive sustainable growth," highlighted Anders McKenzie, the National Technology Fast 50 program leader at Deloitte Canada. "As established leaders in their industries, these companies have demonstrated their capacity to innovate, adapt, and transform in a rapidly evolving digital landscape. By embracing emerging technologies, fostering a culture of continuous improvement, and leveraging their extensive resources, these Enterprise – Industry Leaders have positioned themselves as industry leaders, setting new benchmarks for success. Their achievements not only contribute to their own organizational growth but also inspire and shape the future of Canada's technology sector."
