ITB 2014: ProSiebenSat.1 founds ProSieben-Travel GmbH / Travel business to be consolidated under one roof
Munich, February 27, 2014. In the future, the
travel business activities of the ProSiebenSat.1 Group will be
consolidated within the new company ProSieben Travel GmbH. The TV
station group announced this step today in advance of the travel
trade show ITB Berlin (March 5-9, 2014). In the last two years, the
ProSiebenSat.1 Group has acquired, through its ventures arm
SevenVentures, a portfolio of fast-growing individual companies,
thereby laying the groundwork for its "House of Travel." The
formation of this overarching umbrella company underscores
ProSiebenSat.1's commitment to the travel business, while also
laying the foundation for additional growth in this area. The new
company will be managed by Jörg Trouvain (CEO) and Daniel Puschmann
(COO).
Effective immediately, the following activities will be
consolidated under the roof of ProSieben Travel GmbH: the travel
portals weg.de and ferien.de, the dynamic travel organizer TROPO,
billiger-mietwagen.de as Germany's biggest portal for rental cars,
mydays.de as the specialist for experience gifts and events, and
the online travel agency reise.com. Furthermore, the Group's own
weather portal wetter.com will also be included. Thus, the new
company will satisfy all travel-related needs, from flights to
hotels and rental cars, and provide all relevant information on
weather and climate conditions, as well as local attractions.
