Our take

With around 80% of UK citizens’ holidays booked online, On The Beach has become a challenger brand in the beach and package holiday sector. With around two million people using its platform to book their holidays abroad, it utilises brand partnerships to provide a wealth of discounts and deals for holidaymakers.

Having entered the London Stock Exchange in 2015, On The Beach has grown its brand since 2004. It shows no signs of slowing down either, with revenue surging in 2025 to set the company up for a new objective. It will now use its growing AI toolkit to disrupt the cruise holiday market, a fast-growing travel sector that the company has not yet capitalised on.
