HolidayPirates Group grew mediated total transaction value by 20% in 2024

BERLIN – The online travel marketplace HolidayPirates Group, based in Berlin,  achieved 477 million in mediated Total Transaction Value (TTV) last year. The best performing markets were Germany, Austria and Switzerland, also known as the DACH region, with a mediated TTV of 162 million euros, 8.3% more than in 2023. The United Kingdom and the Italian markets further contributed to this success with 100 million (+15.3%) and 75 million euros (28.3%) of mediated TTV, respectively. France saw 69 million in TTV, 24.2% more than the previous year. The US achieved an increase of 83 %, Poland and Spain grew by 65% and by 52%, respectively. These three countries were the leading markets in terms of growth rate.

The group’s social media channels, newsletters and WhatsApp messaging, among other CRM tools, were key to this commercial performance across its ten markets: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Spain, the UK and the United States.

Another highlight of HolidayPirates’ financial figures in 2024 has been the increase of its customer base. The company’s commercial strategy, based on social media and direct messaging channels, has proven very effective, as the number of its social media followers increased from 13.31 million in 2023 to 17 million people in March 2025. This social media following is well balanced across markets, with the DACH market accounting for less than 20% of followers globally On Instagram, HolidayPirates has more followers than other established competitors. Altogether, the group’s 26 million subscribers and followers generate up to 19 million sessions on its different websites and apps every month.

“HolidayPirates Group has established itself as one of the most popular sources for travel deals and inspiration” says David Armstrong, CEO and Co-Founder of the online travel marketplace based in Berlin. “As our results in 2024 show, our strategy of finding and sharing the best value-for-money travel deals, through our website, newsletters, mobile apps, and especially through our social media and WhatsApp channels is paying off. We’re also using AI across key areas of our business to empower our team, and we will continue to expand its use to drive growth and deliver even more personalised experiences for our customers”.
