Our strategy for sustainable growth
“This award is another milestone in our mission to optimise accommodation booking for business customers worldwide. It confirms the effectiveness of our holistic strategy in the hotel booking process, which ranges from sourcing to billing,” says Fritz Zerweck, CEO of ehotel AG. “We invest in advanced technologies and in the development of our employees. In doing so, we keep both financial and social and environmental responsibilities in mind.”
Fiscal expertise as a competitive advantage
As a specialised hotel booking platform for business travel, we are represented for tax purposes not just in one, but in more than 20 European countries. This particular expertise sets new standards in the industry for fiscal compliance and VAT refunds. Our in-depth understanding of tax law requirements across national borders gives us a clear competitive advantage and contributes significantly to our positive growth momentum. Thanks to this unique positioning, we are able to meet the complex requirements of internationally operating companies whilst continuously driving our growth forward.
Comprehensive offering and best-buy opportunity
Thanks to our advanced aggregation capabilities, which provide content from over 600 different Central Reservation Systems (CRS) as well as interfaces to various hotel wholesalers and direct access to the websites of many hotels and hotel chains, we create an exceptional best-buy opportunity. This makes the work of buyers and travel managers significantly easier and is a key factor in our sustained growth.
Internationalisation Strategy 2024
The planned expansion of our global reach in 2024 serves not only to increase value for our customers but also as a catalyst for further corporate growth. “Look forward to concrete announcements next year that will further refine our global strategy,” adds Zerweck.
Objective validation by Statista
The methodology behind the award, developed in partnership with Statista, confirms the effectiveness of our strategies through objective criteria, including the average annual growth rate.
