  unserved customer needs: trust & convenience
  • Today booking a package holiday online is still way too complex
  • There is a lack of convenience as well as and a lack of trust into online players.
  • 2/3 of all vacation packages in DACH are booked offline
  • We aim to change that!
  • Both HolidayCheck and Zoover were founded as hotel review portals
  • Both are local champions in their market
  • Therefore it’s in our DNA to create transparency first, and connect Urlaubers* with
    Urlaubers in order to find the perfect holiday
  • Therefore we are always on the side of the Urlaubers

                                                                    *German term for holidaymaker, vacationer

  CROSS-DEVICE OPTIMISATION
  • Google Accelerated Mobile Pages (AMP) launched

  SIMPLIFICATION

     600 clicks)
  • Bulk picture upload for reviews
  • Integration of Peakwork platform (higher data quality)

  OUR HEADSTART
  • We connect people with people
  • We know what customers want:
    #1 review site in DACH and Benelux
  • That is how we can compete with offline travel agencies

  DIFFERENTIATION VIA SERVICE
  • Regulation fixes retail prices for package holidays
     without allowing re-sellers to discount
  • Only service makes a difference!

  SERVICE COSTS
  • Ticket value high enough to support phone vending
  • Our service center with 150 skilled travel agents is a sales
     channel, not a call center
