"With our expansion into Greece, we are responding to increased demand on both sides – from holiday home owners and holidaymakers alike. Greece is one of the top holiday destinations in 2022. However, the offering is still poorly digitized and highly fragmented, and new holiday home owners who are unfamiliar with the market are likely to face some challenges. This is where we come in by providing holiday home owners with targeted on-site support through our experienced regional experts and showing them how to best market their properties."

A common problem, for example, is that booked vacation homes have to be canceled by the homeowners. The main reason for this is the lack of synchronization of the calendars of the various online booking sites. With its software and service solution Bookiply, Holidu aims to change this and make searching for and booking vacation properties easier.
