History
Secret Escapes used to be called DMC Cruise Limited until 16 Nov 2010 when it was re-branded as Secret Escapes by Tom Valentine and Alex Saint, after identifying demand in luxury travel deals in the UK. In 2014, the company acquired German mobile hotel booking application, Justbook, to compete with other last-minute hotel mobile apps.
In July 2015 the company earned an additional $ 60 million in funding from existing Octopus Investments investors and Google Ventures to fund further expansion and acquire a UK-based company in an all-cash-and-share transaction, adding 1,200 venues and 1.4 million members others to his portfolio. According to IBT, the company has more than 19 million members and has sold 2 million nights a room.
In October 2015, Secret Escapes continued its expansion in Germany by acquiring the flash deal site Travista.
