FRANKFURT: Berlin travel startup GetYourGuide said on Thursday it had raised nearly US$500 million from investors led by SoftBank's Vision Fund to expand its online offering of tours and activities that has won a following among millennials.
"We aim to capture the lion's share of the market, then help it grow and mature further by placing experiences at the centre of the travel-planning journey," Reck told Reuters in an email interview. "So, together with a top supplier, we created this product, which is now one of our best-selling experiences in Asia," he said. GetYourGuide now offers more than 50 Instagram tours worldwide.
