Hotelbeds is a travel technology company based in Palma, Mallorca, Spain that operates a distribution channel for lodging businesses.[1][2]

History

[edit]

Hotelbeds was founded in 2001 as a unit of First Choice Holidays PLC.[3] In 2007 First Choice Holidays PLC merged with the Tourism Division of TUI AG, forming TUI Travel PLC, with Hotelbeds as its primary brand in the Accommodation & Destinations unit, also referred as TUI Travel A&D.[4][5]

A merger in 2014 between TUI Travel PLC and TUI AG led to the creation of the TUI Group. TUI Travel A&D changed its name to Hotelbeds Group and subsequently to Hotelbeds.[6]

Hotelbeds was acquired by Cinven and CPPIB in 2016,[7][8][9] In 2017, Tourico Holidays and GTA Travel were purchased and integrated in 2018.[10]

During 2020 and 2021, Hotelbeds was impacted by the effects of COVID-19 pandemic in tourism. The company received additional funding from Cinven, EQT and CPPIB.[11][12]

Joan Vilà, CEO, stepped down from his position in 2021 to adopt a non-executive role, while remaining a shareholder. He was succeeded by Nicolas Huss.[13]

Amar InfoTech Teams Up with Hotelbeds to Develop Advanced B2B Travel Booking Portal.[14]
