Activities company disrupts the $100 billion global market.
SAN FRANCISCO – Peek.com, the one-stop shop to discover and book amazing activities, tours and more, announced its international expansion.
Airlines and hotels have platforms that allow people to easily find, compare and make reservations with any player in the market. Activities, however, have remained relatively untouched. Peek will use its presence in 15 US regions as a springboard to disrupt the $100 billion global activities market as it expands into London, Paris and many more cities throughout the year.
Peek provides a beautifully designed platform for its users to find things to do while they’re traveling in a new place or exploring their hometown. Whether it’s discovering an underground art scene, swimming with sharks or heading to a film festival, Peek provides people with everyday adventures that create lasting memories.
“Peek surfaces the best experiences in each market, removing the struggle of digging through multiple activity and review websites,” said Ruzwana Bashir, Founder and CEO of Peek. “Our international expansion solves this problem on a global scale, better connecting people with the cities they love.”
Peek’s first international markets are London and Paris. With their classic charm and off-the-beaten-path attractions, these cities provide locals and travelers with a wide range of activities, including:
