Secret Escapes and Jetsetter announce partnership
Secret Escapes has partnered with Jetsetter, bringing together two of the largest flash sales for luxury travel operators.
Secret Escapes, and its accounts and customer service teams, will handle all ‘flash’ deal bookings for Jetsetter.
While Jetsetter, part of the TripAdvisor family of travel sites, will offer greater distribution for Secret Escapes’ flash sales.
Properties will be offered listing on either or both sites.
Traditionally Secret Escape has offered hotels and had a European focus while Jetsetter featured a broader range of properties and had a US focus.
Tom Valentine, COO of Secret Escapes said: "Nine-out-of-ten Secret Escapes bookers have told us they weren’t planning the trip before they saw it on our site or in one of our emails – we’re immensely proud of that statistic, and our suppliers love the incremental revenue they make from working with us."
For Secret Escapes, the partnership follows the acquisition of German operator Travista, and a $60m Series C investment round led by Google Ventures and Octopus Investments.
The company, launched in February 2011, works with its leading hotel, tour operator and travel agent partners to negotiate exclusive rates and operates in the UK, US, Sweden, Germany, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, Spain, Belgium and the Netherlands.
