Outdoor and adventure operators have a distribution problem all of their own: capacity that shifts with weather and seasons, small group sizes, and customers who book everything from a tandem paraglide to a canyoning descent on specialist platforms rather than general travel sites. Manawa is the specialist platform in that space — one of the first online marketplaces dedicated to outdoor activities — and TicketingHub connects your live availability to it so adventure demand turns into bookings you don't have to manage by hand.
From Adrenaline Hunter to Manawa
Manawa was previously known as Adrenaline Hunter before rebranding in November 2020. The idea came from the founders' own frustration: while trying to book outdoor activities around the world, they kept hitting dead ends — endless searching online, a multitude of emails, and still no easy way to book an unforgettable adventure. So they built the platform they wished existed.
On Manawa you'll find outdoor activities and experiences for every type of traveler, from the tamest to the most adventurous, organised across AIR, SNOW, LAND, WATER, URBAN — and, for the boldest, CRAZY. The platform is particularly strong across Europe's outdoor destinations, and it shows each operator's own name and logo, so listing there builds your brand rather than burying it.
For travelers, that focus matters: they're browsing among people looking for exactly the kind of experience you sell, not scrolling past hotel deals and airport transfers. For operators, it means the demand arriving through Manawa is unusually well qualified — customers who already know they want a via ferrata, a freedive, or a wingfoil lesson, and are choosing who to do it with.
Why a channel manager suits outdoor operators
Adventure inventory is volatile: a storm closes a canyon, a bluebird day opens extra rafting departures, a guide calls in sick. TicketingHub's channel manager shares your live availability with Manawa, so whatever you open, close, or adjust is reflected there immediately. Bookings made on Manawa drop into the same dashboard and daily manifest as your direct sales — no re-keying, no double bookings, and no checking a second system between trips.
We can connect you with Manawa for a simple per-booking integration fee — you get your booking platform and OTA integration for a low cost, with every sale synced into one place so you can focus on running trips, not admin.
How adventure businesses use the Manawa channel
Seasonal operators smoothing the shoulder months
Ski schools, rafting bases, and coastal operators live and die by short seasons. Manawa's audience of dedicated adventure-seekers books across the year and across borders, helping fill early- and late-season departures your local market won't.
Weather-dependent scheduling without chaos
When conditions force a schedule change, you change it once in TicketingHub. Manawa's availability updates automatically, so you never sell a slot you've just closed — and when the forecast improves, newly opened departures go on sale everywhere at once.
Growing a recognisable adventure brand
Because Manawa displays your company name and logo, every listing doubles as marketing. Travelers who book you once through the platform can find and rebook you directly next time — with your TicketingHub widget taking the direct booking.
Connecting Manawa to TicketingHub
Setup follows the standard OTA channel flow in your dashboard: add a wholesale rate to the activities Manawa will sell, create a Manawa reseller record and assign the rate, then create the channel, add its products, and generate credentials. Prefer a hand? Contact your account manager or our support team and we'll enable the channel together, then verify it with a test booking that should appear as a pending order with Manawa as the reseller.
