TripAdvisor has finalised its acquisition of activity portal Viator.
The combination will help the reviews website to develop its activity and attractions link-up, while also providing opportunities for Viator to add to the 20,000 bookable tours and attraction it already offers.
“We’re thrilled to add Viator to the TripAdvisor family and to grow in the attractions and activities space,” said Stephen Kaufer, president and CEO of TripAdvisor. “TripAdvisor’s scale combined with Viator’s strong network of global activities and attractions will allow us to help even more travellers plan and have the perfect trip. Along with the acquisition of online restaurant booking site lafourchette earlier this summer, we’re eager to leverage these powerful booking assets to provide the most comprehensive travel-planning experience for our global community of millions of travellers, both online and via mobile.”
Viator also has more than 3,000 affiliate partners including airlines, hotels and travel agencies.
Its 250+ employees will continue work at its headquarters in San Francisco, Las Vegas, London and Sydney.
