The transaction has an enterprise value of circa €450m and is expected to complete in May. Generator Hostels, which was held in Patron Capital’s Fund III, owns 14 predominantly freehold assets (12 operational and two under development), totalling 8,639 beds, located in London, Paris, Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Miami, Dublin, Hamburg, Barcelona, Berlin Mitte, Stockholm, Madrid, Venice, Berlin Prenzlauer Berg and Rome. Earning current revenues of over €70m, Generator Hostels targets the fast-growing sector of millennial customers, focusing on the best capital city addresses, design-led interiors, a safe environment and, most of all, attractive shared social spaces. Queensgate Investments intends to own the portfolio for the long term, enhance operations for customers, and invest in excess of €300m into adding more hostel assets. Keith Breslauer, Managing Director of Patron, said: “Generator has performed strongly under Patron’s ownership, during which time we have expanded the business significantly from just two hostels to 14, and have redefined the hostel concept into the design-led hospitality experience that today’s guests want. We are very pleased to have sold Generator to Queensgate, and are confident that the business will continue to grow and thrive under their stewardship.” Jason Kow, CEO of Queensgate Investments, said: “Generator Hostels represents high-quality freehold assets, robust revenues, an attractive lifestyle brand, and material scalability opportunities.

  • Online Travel: the Internet Is the Key Sales Channel for Tour Operators
    ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel ITB Berlin Special Press Release 08 / 2009 ITB Berlin 2009 March 11 to 15 Online Travel: The Internet is the key sales channel for tour operators Author: Isabel Bommer 1 ITB Berlin 2009 Special Press Release: Online Travel Market and technology trends in digital travel sales Social networking, semantic searches, crowd sourcing, microblogging, and video content: the Internet is developing at lightning pace. Current trends, which today employ online pioneers and e-business developers, are also directly relevant for the tourist sector. In particular, in the main travel markets, the Internet is a targeted way of becoming the most important channel for holiday sales, information and recommendations. The current uncertain economic climate will not stop this trend, although it is likely to require strategic concentration on profitable e-travel applications. The ITB Berlin 2009 highlights the latest challenges and opportunities in online travel sales – with the ITB Future Day, over 130 Travel Technology exhibitors and PhoCusWright@ITB Berlin, the industry’s leading international Travel Technology Congress. In 2008, Europe’s travel sector posted sales of almost 246 billion euros – the largest travel market in the world. In 2007, the sector grew twice as fast as the remainder of Europe’s economy. Almost one third of capacity was ultimately due to Internet sales. The unique feature was that online travel business showed double-digit growth rates (2008: 19 %) and was considerably faster than offline business and the European travel market as a whole (2008: 3 %) (Source: PhoCusWright’s European Online Travel Overview Fourth Edition 2008).

  • A Short Chronicle ITB Berlin – a Little History of a Big Event ITB
    ITB Berlin - a short chronicle ITB Berlin – a little history of a big event ITB Berlin, the International Tourism Exchange, is known throughout the world as both the top trade show for the global tourism industry and the largest travel show for private visitors. The ITB Berlin generates a turnover of around €5 billion in just five days. The trade show attracts well over one hundred thousand visitors to the German capital and has deservedly earned a reputation as an international meeting place. Three quarters of the almost 11,000 exhibitors travel to Germany from all corners of the earth. Almost one third of the trade visitors also come from abroad, keen to find out about the latest market developments and wrap up business deals at ITB Berlin. How it all began in the 1960s Steadily rising exhibitor and visitor figures have charted the rise to success of this unique market event from its earliest days. Since March 1966, representatives from an ever increasing number of countries and regions have been meeting in an ever-increasing number of exhibition halls under the Berlin radio tower. An authentic holiday ambiance is evoked by the authentic design of exhibition stands typifying the countries represented. Trade partners hailing from every continent conclude business transactions for the coming tourism year. Trade visitors from all tourism-related source and destination regions discuss business strategies and learn about the latest industry trends at the integrated ITB Convention. A rocky start The story of the ITB is a genuine Berlin success story. Oddly enough, however, back in 1965, a year before the first event took place, the German tourist authorities were far from enthusiastic about the idea of establishing a trade show of this kind in Berlin.
