Tripmasters
Tripmasters, originally Solar Tours, was founded in 1984 by Maria Checa in Washington, D.C.[1][2] It started with trips to Peru, later expanding to Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific. In 1997, Maria's son, Rafael Checa, joined and shifted the focus to online custom trip planning. The company rebranded to Tripmasters[3] in 2012 with Rafael as CEO.[4]
Based in Silver Spring, Maryland,[5] Tripmasters offers customizable travel itineraries, including hotels, transport, and activities.[6] It covers destinations across Latin America, Europe, Asia, and the Pacific and provides tools for users to build their own itineraries, including cruises and city tours. Tripmasters is known for investing $20 million in the Amor Arenal hotel in Costa Rica[7] and has an A+ rating from the BBB.[8]
