Excellent prospects with established new owners
Hotelplan Group will be getting new owners, offering the optimal conditions for the successful further development of the business segments. The DERTOUR Group, one of Europe's most prominent travel providers, is acquiring the travel agency and tour operator divisions in Switzerland, Germany and the UK. The HomeToGo Group is acquiring the holiday home specialist Interhome, which is ideally suited to the company's HomeToGo_PRO B2B segment.
Nothing will change for customers.
For customers and distribution partners, all existing offers and bookings with Hotelplan Group and Interhome will remain valid and unchanged. The sale to the new owners is subject to approval by the relevant authorities.
We look forward to continuing the successful performance of recent years under the well-established new owners. Being part of a European network of travel and holiday accommodation providers opens up outstanding prospects for our business areas and for our customers.
