HolidayCheck is a leading travel website where users can easily find and book their perfect holiday and share their holiday experience. Hotels are the most important feature on HolidayCheck. With a database of over 300,000 hotels it is easy for potential travelers to find their perfect hotel. Many hotels have already been reviewed, providing an authentic image of the hotel. HolidayCheck’s advanced hotel search enables users to filter the hotels by categories such as star rating, recommendation percentage and amenities. All hotels can then be sorted by popularity or price. The HolidayCheck watch list allows users to select hotels and then compare them based on recommendation, rating, and price. This enables users to tag the hotels they are interested in while browsing and come back to them all later. Travelers can gain an overview and insight into destinations including information on; Trip Preparation, Country & People, Discover & Enjoy and Getting Around. Before travelers book their hotel they will probably want to know what is on offer in the local area and what it is like. Things to do cover sightseeing, Sport & Leisure, Food & Drinks, Nightlife, Shopping and other tips from travelers in the Things to do reviews. Travelers can find the best price by comparing offers from various providers on HolidayCheck with just one click. The newsletter each month presents subscribers with a brand new destination. It provide quality travel information and genuine user pictures to give an authentic insight into the destination. The HolidayCheck idea dates back to 1999 when two guys Markus Schott and Sascha Vasic, frustrated with the lack of authentic information when choosing a hotel, decided to create a website which would give others the opportunity to read real opinions and reviews instead of just catalogue descriptions. They created the first HolidayCheck website as a hobby. In 2004 HolidayCheck was founded as a company in Switzerland. After that HolidayCheck grew even faster and started its first international websites in 2006: www.holidaycheck.com and www.holidaycheck.fr closely followed by Spanish, Italian, Polish, Russian and Dutch in 2007. Today HolidayCheck is available in 10 languages. Each month 20 - 30 million people visit HolidayCheck websites. On HolidayCheck users inform themselves about hotels and destinations with about 10 million user opinions. Information is available on more than 300 thousand hotels and 100 thousand points of interest in the holiday destinations. HolidayCheck AG headquarters are located in Bottighofen, Switzerland and has three foreign offices in Warsaw, Paris and Moskow. The majority of HolidayCheck is owned by the listed company TOMORROW FOCUS AG, one of the leading digital media companies in Germany.
