Munich, October 20, 2021 – Holidu, one of the leading travel tech companies, recently bought the vacation home platform Spain-Holiday and merged it with its subsidiary Bookiply.

Holidu is already an established company in 21 markets and is also one of the fastest growing travel tech startups in the world. Explaining the decision to acquire Spain-Holiday and merge it with Bookiply, Johannes Siebers, CEO and Co-Founder of Holidiu, said: “After our first conversations with the Spain-Holiday founders, it quickly became clear that we share the same mission: to finally make searching and booking vacation rentals easy.

With the acquisition of Spain-Holiday, we are writing a new chapter for both companies by expanding our innovative technologies and a unique service in the vacation home market across Europe. We welcome our new colleagues from the Spain-Holiday team and look forward to working together on our mission.”
