Why did Travelpass Group decide to move its headquarters to Daybreak? In short: the location, the lifestyle, and the community. Daybreak residents already enjoy a forward‑thinking, healthy way of living—with parks, trails, and amenities woven into everyday life and thoughtful community design. Naturally, a tech company focused on accessibility and innovation saw a perfect fit.
We caught up with Mike Hurren, Chief Marketing Officer at Travelpass Group, to learn why the company chose Daybreak for its HQ and what’s next for their travel technology platform.
What does Travelpass Group do?
“We’re a travel and technology company,” Mike explains. “Our multi‑supply hotel platform aggregates rates from sources across the industry and curates the best availability and prices for customers. People book with us on our websites or over the phone. We invest heavily in tech to make both the online and call‑center experiences personal and delightful.” Visit Travelpass.com.
New flagship site
Travelpass is launching a new flagship website—Travelpass.com—which, at the time of this interview, was in open beta. The site showcases the company’s technology and hard‑won customer‑experience insights.
How did Mike get involved?
Mike joined the company nearly 15 years ago, hired by co‑founder and current CEO Ryan McCoy. “Ryan was living in Daybreak then, and I live here now too,” says Mike. “I took over marketing and helped train and onboard our team. We all share a passion for travel—and for how it connects people and changes lives.”
Keys to success in a competitive industry
“Travel is a great space for a tech‑minded company because many processes are still outdated,” Mike notes. “That creates opportunities to improve convenience for travelers. Our employees are our advantage—we hire smart people who share our values and want to make the world better—then we apply modern technology to elevate the traveler’s experience.”
Why choose Daybreak for the HQ?
The move was a natural step. Members of the executive team already called Daybreak home, so the benefits were clear. The team found a modern office in the Rio Tinto building with efficient access to UTA TRAX, Bangerter Highway, and Mountain View Corridor, which makes commuting easier across the valley—even for employees coming from Utah County.
Why does a centralized hub matter?
Travelpass wants planning to be the fun part of travel—not the stressful part. With that in mind, the company is building AI‑powered, collaborative trip‑planning tools that help people organize itineraries in one, easy‑to‑reference place.
Living and working in the same community
“We love being part of Daybreak and its growth,” Mike says. “The amenities and events are fantastic. Our office is a recruiting asset when we invite top talent to join us.” If you’re curious about the lifestyle, explore Daybreak amenities, check out what’s happening, and stop by the Daybreak Info Studio.
What’s ahead for Daybreak?
More businesses are arriving as Daybreak’s urban core grows, further establishing it as a commercial hub. And yes—Mike can’t wait to catch a baseball game after work.
What’s next for Travelpass Group?
First up is the official launch of Travelpass.com, paired with local advertising and social campaigns across Utah. The new tools aim to make trip planning smarter, easier, and more collaborative—for Daybreak neighbors, Utah travelers, and the world.
