Amid a fiercely competitive landscape of 13,300 invited companies, the Berlin-based hotel booking platform ehotel® notably distinguished itself.

Our Strategy for Sustainable Growth
“This award marks another milestone in our mission to optimize accommodation bookings for business clients worldwide. It validates the effectiveness of our holistic strategy in the hotel booking process, from sourcing to billing,” says Fritz Zerweck, CEO of ehotel AG. “We are investing in advanced technologies and in the development of our employees, while keeping an eye on both financial and social-ecological responsibilities.”

Fiscal Expertise as a Competitive Advantage
As a specialized hotel booking platform for business travel, we have a fiscal presence not just in one, but in more than 20 European countries. This unique expertise sets new industry standards for fiscal compliance and VAT refund capabilities. Our in-depth understanding of cross-border tax requirements gives us a significant competitive edge and significantly contributes to our positive growth dynamics. This unique positioning enables us to meet the complex requirements of internationally-operating companies while 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 numerous hotel websites and chains, we create an extraordinary best-buy opportunity. This greatly eases the workload of procurement officers and travel managers and serves as a key factor for our sustained growth.

Internationalization Strategy 2024
The planned expansion of our global reach in 2024 aims to increase value for our clients and also act as a catalyst for further corporate growth. “Look forward to concrete announcements next year that will further sharpen our global strategy,” adds Zerweck.

Objective Validation by Statista
