The companies and teams we invest in all have a common ambition : transform the current leisure and local distribution industries through innovation.
Weekendesk
Weekendesk is the online leader of thematic short-breaks in France, Belgium, Netherlands, Spain and Italy providing a turnkey offer at an attractive price.
Weekendesk provides a wide offer – from castles and 4 stars hotels to charming rural retreats – it is up to the customer to choose from a range of over 3000 partners and 6000 available packages. The particularity of Weekendesk is that customers can taylor their stay combining for example two nights in a 4* hotel with a diner in a fine restaurant and an afternoon at a spa.
Weekendesk leads a differentiating strategy by focusing on two elements:
- the possibility offered to the consumer to customize its weekends combining activities and accommodations (gourmet dining, golf, seaside, spa & wellness, unusual escapes ...)
- a selective hotel catalog, 3* or 4* for most of them.
Weekendesk is seen by its hotel partners as an alternative distribution canal with a higher average basket thanks to the adding-on of activities.
In 2011, Weekendesk generates more than 25 million euros of turnover.
