In 2016, the founders of PerfectStay, who have evolved as the heads of major digital or tourism accounts (Publicis, Lastminute, Karavel-Promovacances, Ecotour), decided to use their expertise to create an innovative solution for major brands, notably e-commerce, air transport and media, to enable them to offer their customers quality travel at great prices, including flight and hotel.
PerfectStay creates exclusive B2B2C offers for each partner, unlike white label devices that offer identical products for all players. The travel offer is thus specific to each brand and takes into account the expectations of its customers, allowing it to generate up to 20 times more sales than achieved with a traditional model.
They are now present in more than 9 countries, with over 15 partners, 150,000 clients and €100M in turnover.
