A merger in 2014 between TUI Travel PLC and TUI AG led to the creation of the TUI Group. TUI Travel A&D changed its name to Hotelbeds Group and subsequently to Hotelbeds.[6]
Hotelbeds was acquired by Cinven and CPPIB in 2016,[7][8][9] In 2017, Tourico Holidays and GTA Travel were purchased and integrated in 2018.[10]
During 2020 and 2021, Hotelbeds was impacted by the effects of COVID-19 pandemic in tourism. The company received additional funding from Cinven, EQT and CPPIB.[11][12]
