The biggest comparison site for holiday apartments has obtained important deals with leaders of the sector, making it the reference website for its industry.
BARCELONA – In less than a year, apartum.com, the number one comparison site for holiday apartments has successfully been able to add the most important companies of the vacation rental industry to its platform. The company now compares more than half a million apartments and, following the deals it has reached with the leading companies of the sector, offers 25,000 new destinations in 50 markets around the world. Additionally, the website is now available in eight languages and has launched a new platform that is entirely adapted to mobiles and tablets.
The start-up has been constantly growing since its creation. Less than a year after its launch, it has managed to make important partnerships with leading companies of the vacation rental industry, which has enabled apartum to offer the best range of holiday apartments on its platform: half a million vacation homes. The website helps users in their search for the best accommodation for their holiday, allowing them to compare different options as well as save up to 40%: the site automatically identifies agencies that manage the same apartment and shows the user the different agency prices for that flat, helping to make substantial savings.
After launching in markets such as Spain, France, Italy and the U.S, where it is in full growth phase, apartum decided to widen its horizons and to open up new markets, including Germany, the Netherlands, Brazil and Russia, strengthening its international presence.
Apartum is also launching a new design for its website as well as a platform that is entirely adapted to mobiles and tablets, adding numerous functions such as the ability to share information about selected apartments with others, as well as create a list of your favorite apartments, which you can access from any device at any moment.
Sergi Villaubi, CEO and co-founder of apartum, reinforces the commitment that the entrepreneurs built on almost a year ago: “From the start we believed in this project and in the sector; more and more, people want to feel at home during their vacation and want to choose accommodation with the best price-quality ratio. Apartum helps to provide users with transparent information, which is crucial to them as they start the planning of the most important days of the year: their holidays.”
For his part, Lorenzo Ritella, the other founder of apartum and Marketing Director of the company, affirms that they are very satisfied with the results they have achieved to date: “We are very proud to be able to share this news that demonstrates that we are continuously strengthening our position in the sector. At apartum we firmly believe that the comparison site industry is the future and current trends are showing us so.”
