* Rebranding announced along with intention to launch the first UK holiday properties in 2016

* Company also announces move into the Traveltech Lab supported by London & Partners and The Trampery

The business has chosen to rebrand to strengthen the brand association with its core service: crowdfunding investment into holiday homes. The rebranding goes hand in hand with a new logo and a new domain name www.holidaycrowd.co as it looks to launch its first properties in the UK in 2016.  

The global holiday property rental market is currently estimated at around $100bn per annum, with 30% of revenues generated by online platforms such as AirBnB and HomeAway and an online market which is expected to grow at a 25% CAGR to $70bn by 2020.⁽¹⁾ Holiday Crowd provides investors with an opportunity to invest in this dynamic and fast growing market and into properties that would otherwise be out of their reach from a financial standpoint.

Holiday Crowd CEO Alistair Malins said: “We wanted to create something truly unique, a platform for investing in holiday homes that combines top international property investment opportunities with the benefits from being part of an exclusive holiday club. 

We’re really pleased to be joining the community at the Traveltech Lab and look forward to working in London’s most innovative environment for technology startups within the travel industry.”
