Click and Trip Buys TravelPerk
About Click and Trip
From a single solo entrepreneur needing a train down to London to the travel workforce of large organisations requiring flights and accommodation around the world, Click and Trip is the online travel platform that searches thousands of travel providers at once to find the best rates on a huge choice of hotels, airport parking, flights, trains, car hire and more. With the power of real-time reporting, Click and Trip also takes care of all the admin and enables travellers to book their own trips with ease.
It’s the latest buy by Barcelona-based TravelPerk, which has been on a shopping spree to bolster its resilience to COVID-19-related revenue slowdown — and it says it will retain Click’s team and Birmingham base. The financial terms were not disclosed.

If you book a packaged holiday or any other kind of travel arrangement that includes transport, accommodation and/or car rental and under certain conditions also includes other tourist services, you have a high level of consumer protection under EU rules. These rights apply whether you buy your package holiday face-to-face or online and cover pre-contractual information, the organiser’s liability for the proper performance of the included services and insolvency protection. The rules also apply to so-called linked travel arrangements (LTAs).
The travel industry is a multibillion dollar business that has been influenced by the growth of the Internet and the emergence of new forms of technology. Revenues from online holiday bookings have been growing rapidly. In 2023, the market is expected to reach US$281bn. Online holiday bookings have become a convenient and hassle-free way for travellers to plan their trips. The growing popularity of online holiday bookings is expected to drive the demand for software solutions that can facilitate this process.
