ServiceTrip: The 26-Year-Old Cuban Entrepreneur Uniting 68,000 Travel Agencies on One Platform

LatEspañol featured ServiceTrip founder Fabián Rodríguez, a 26-year-old Cuban entrepreneur who emigrated to the United States at 18 and later moved from New Jersey to Houston, where he worked as a travel agent before building ServiceTrip in 2019.

The article traces how Rodríguez experienced the same recurring problem across every platform he used as an agent: "one platform offered good prices without support; another had support but not competitive pricing." ServiceTrip was built to close that gap, consolidating flights, hotels, rental cars, private jets, tour packages, and cruises into a single real-time interface, backed by live human agents available seven days a week.

Key figures cited in the piece include more than 68,000 connected travel agencies and access to 7.9 million hotels worldwide, real-time booking confirmations with no email delays, and commission payments processed within 24 hours versus the industry standard of 15–30 days.

Rodríguez summarized his philosophy on building the company: "The secret to businesses that will make a difference … is managing to combine technology without dehumanizing it." Read the full interview on LatEspañol →
