#Announcement#Commercial Due Diligence#Transaction Advisory#Travel & Tourism

OMMAX advised the Fit Reisen Group regarding the sale of KMW Reisen GmbH ("Kurz Mal Weg") to a subsidiary of HomeToGo SE, which has signed binding documents to acquire KMW Reisen GmbH and Super Urlaub GmbH (“Kurz Urlaub”). As a result, HomeToGo holds a 51% majority stake in the combined business. This marks a significant milestone in OMMAX's online travel market portfolio.

OMMAX conducted a comprehensive commercial vendor due diligence, critically assessing Kurz Mal Weg's current business model, competitive position, market environment, and business plan. This thorough evaluation underscored Kurz Mal Weg’s exceptional strengths, confirming its status as a leading specialist provider in the DACH market for selling thematic travel bundled with hotel offerings for short trips.

Due to the resilient post-COVID-19 recovery in the German travel and tourism sector, fueled by a surge in online bookings, demographic shifts, and heightened demand for personalized, sustainable travel experiences, Kurz Mal Weg strategically invested in fortifying its technological infrastructure. This included streamlining processes and leveraging thematic travel bundles, voucher development, and loyalty programs for scalable growth. With a focus on thematic travel and bundled hotel offerings, Kurz Mal Weg enhances travel experiences with a suite of enriched services encompassing wellness amenities, sports activities, fine dining, and compelling offers tailored to meet the diverse needs of modern travelers.

Toni Stork, Partner at OMMAX, added, "Collaborating with Fit Reisen Group and Kurz Mal Weg’s management team during the commercial vendor due diligence was a pleasure. We are confident that Kurz Mal Weg's growth trajectory will continue to thrive, especially with the combined business with Kurzurlaub and majority acquisition by HomeToGo.”
