Our Story

Twenty-five years of booking journeys by hand, now run by AI agents.

Prepared by the founder — one owner, four industries, two countries, twenty-five years.

The founder

1998 — Turkey

Troy Travel Agency & Troy Shipping Agency

Founded together as part of a group of companies — the first time running a travel business as owner-operator, not employee.

2011 — Australia

Relocation to Darwin, NT

Moved to Australia and restarted, building toward what would become today's group of companies.

2022–2023

Small-Business Mentorship Program

Awarded a three-year free membership with a local small-business support program.

2026 — Today

TRoyGO™ — TRoy Travel Agency™

Same owner, same instinct to run every part of the business personally — now the proving ground for the AI-agent template built first at TRoyAI™.

Then and next

Then

Troy Travel Agency

Bookings researched, quoted, and confirmed by hand, one traveler at a time.

Next

TRoyGO™

An unmanned AI-agent travel agency — the same booking judgment, running on real infrastructure instead of a single person's hours.

The build — TRoyGO™

TRoyGO doesn't run its own separate department roster — it runs on TRoyAI™'s 7 departments and 31 agents, the same shared template proven across TRoy Group. Several of those agents are live on this site today.

4 live research agents

Travel, Hotel, Car Rental, and Cruise Deals Researchers search the live web for real current deals — every result must carry the actual source URL it was found at, or the run fails outright.

AI trip planner

Builds a personalized itinerary directly from a traveler's brief — try it on the Trip Planner page.

Real infrastructure

A live Postgres database behind bookings, CRM, and reporting; live flight search through the Duffel API — no mocked or simulated data standing in for any of it.

Real partner pipeline

A working application system for ground operators — every submission is reviewed by TRoyGO's team before any partnership is confirmed.

Honest state, not a pitch exaggeration

TROYGOis the registered Australian sole-trader business name behind this site (ABN 30 302 098 137) — chosen because “TRoy Group” itself wasn't available to register directly.

Real booking infrastructure is already live here, not a mockup — still early, still growing the partner and customer base, and never presenting a placeholder as a confirmed deal or price.

TRoyGO's own shared-memory system was real-tested this month: asked for open cross-department items, it honestly reported zero rather than inventing any to fill the answer.

This week: a live Travel Guide launched across five real cities, each with genuinely live weather and season data, not static copy. The Partners page no longer links offsite, and the "Request a Quote" form on every agent and guide profile now really sends an email instead of faking a local success message.

Twenty-five years booking journeys by hand. Now building the version that doesn't need hands at all.
