Travel Market Simulator is an open-source simulator for the airline market. It was originally developed in C++ by Amadeus IT Group and released under the GPL3 license. It is not a general-purpose development framework, but a vertical simulation tool designed to model airline distribution, inventory, flight schedules, fares, revenue management, and related systems, while reproducing how individual travelers make itinerary-selection and purchase decisions.
From a functional perspective, its main value is that it can replay real airline-market events in a safe simulation environment and help validate new Revenue Management methods before production rollout. After a simulation run, users can extract KPIs such as bookings, revenue, and load factors, with support for different aggregation levels. Architecturally, it emphasizes independent modules: users can run the full system or adopt only selected modules. In terms of language support, the available text only explicitly mentions C++; it does not disclose other language bindings, frameworks, or runtime requirements. For self-hosting, the website says the source code can be downloaded, and a preconfigured virtual machine can also be obtained and imported into a VM manager. An Online Demo is provided as well, but demo data is not saved and only part of the functionality is showcased.
No commercial edition or paid plan is mentioned. Given the GPL3 license, its core software can be considered free to use and modify. The main text does not describe any API or SDK, which may affect evaluation for secondary development. The ecosystem includes Github downloads, contribution channels, a forum, a blog, and an FAQ. Documentation entry points appear fairly complete, including Getting Started, Tutorials, User Manual, and FAQ, with the tutorials claiming to provide step-by-step module-level examples. However, the crawled text contains spelling errors and lacks concrete information on installation, dependencies, versions, and maintenance status, so the actual documentation quality still needs to be verified in practice.
Its strengths are that it is open source, modular, and clearly focused on a specific domain. It also offers an online trial and a preconfigured virtual machine. It is suitable for airline revenue management researchers, simulation modelers, transport and travel-market researchers, and developers who need to validate airline strategy scenarios. Its drawbacks are its narrow scope, and the public information does not clarify API, SDK, production deployment, support SLA, or community activity. The Online Demo also cannot save data.
The available text does not provide information on access from China, so the domain, Github resources, and Online Demo should be tested directly. If it depends on Github, access from mainland China may be unstable. Payments are not involved. If the requirement is closer to general-purpose simulation or transport modeling, AnyLogic, SimPy, MATSim, OpenTripPlanner, and similar tools may be worth evaluating, but whether they can cover airline revenue management needs must be verified separately.
