A solitary Tweet from the ether yesterday signalled the launch of Kumutu, a London-based start-up that says it will distribute products for adventure and activity tour operators to the wider travel trade community.



Kumutu is the B2B end of consumer portal WorldAdrenaline – a pretty typical activities OTA – and is headed by two Americans based in the UK capital, Tim Dever and Ryan Off.



The initial proposition is simple enough: Kumutu acts as a distribution channel between suppliers and intermediaries, with an intriguing set of commission rates and multiple payment schemes.
