The travel guide brand has brought in Luis Cabrera as its president and CEO from a previous role within BCG Digital Ventures, a division of the Boston Consulting Group.
At the time of his appointment, Cabrera talked of new partnerships and acquisitions, an omni-channel travel platform and the launch of new products such as festivals, tours and a membership scheme.
Terms of the ArrivalGuides acquisition have not been disclosed but the purchase makes sense in the context of some of Cabrera’s comments.
Sweden-based ArrivalGuides provides content, marketing and booking services for travel companies including Hilton, Eurowings and Rentalcars.
Of the acquisition, Cabrera says: “The ArrivalGuides team was able to anticipate what the B2B market demands and have effectively risen to the forefront by building a hub with self-service capabilities and an innovative process to curate content.
"ArrivalGuides' model and established channel will allow us to explore a more aggressive and creative B2B strategy and partner with companies in new ways.”
