Today we're launching a brand new holibob.tech. It's clearer, has a live demo site, and is built around showing what the untapped experience economy is worth to your brand.
The old site told you what Holibob does. The new one is designed to show you.
Experiences are the fastest growing and least solved part of travel. It's a $300 billion market, and the demand is already sitting inside your existing customer base. Seventy percent of activities are booked within 72 hours of travel, which means the traveller you sold a flight, a room or a package to is buying their things to do from someone else, usually after you've stopped talking to them.
That's a straightforward commercial problem, and it deserves a straightforward story. We've put that premise at the centre of our new website. The new site leads with the opportunity and the numbers behind it:
The opportunity; the reasons this site exists and the reason you're on it. The homepage walks through the market, the traveller behaviour driving it, and what it's worth to you. We believe this is an opportunity most know about, but few truly embrace.
Interactive demos, front and centre. You can click into live examples of the Holibob experience rather than reading a description of them. Storefronts, widgets, agent desktops, and much more: the actual thing, working.
Built around who you are. Whether you're an OTA, an airline, a hotel group, a tour operator, a GDS, a cruise or rail brand, a DMO or an agency software provider, the commercial case looks different. The new site reflects that, with a route through the content for each.
Clearer on the platform. AI led personalisation, real time availability and instant confirmation, distribution across every channel, global language and currency support, and pretrained conversion models, all explained in terms of what they do for your travellers and your margin rather than our roadmap.
The premise. Travellers want things to do, and the brands they already trust are the best placed people in the world to sell them, given the right inventory, the right personalisation and the right moment. That's the business we're in. The new site bring that into even sharper focus.

Start with the interactive demos. If you'd like to talk through what the numbers look like for your own customer base, get in touch. We'd rather model it with you than have you guess from a homepage.
And tell us what you think. We build in the open, and the site will keep changing.

What the trade press said about our SDK, and the review from outside the industry.

OTA product teams understand the revenue case. Where most stall is not on the numbers — it is on the product question: what are the surfaces, what does each one take to activate, and what does each one earn? GetYourGuide doesn't wait for that question to be answered. Its retargeting pixel fires twelve minutes after your confirmation email. The post-booking window isn't sitting empty while the decision gets made. It's already occupied. We've helped launch on all four of the surfaces between booking confirmation and travel day. Here is what each one looks like in practice.
