Berlin-based travel experiences marketplace GetYourGuide is contemplating a secondary share offering following its recent profitability milestone. The company is currently in discussions with investment banks to facilitate this potential share sale, which may occur in the upcoming months. Although no official decision has been made, this move would signify the travel sector’s recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic.
In October 2025, GetYourGuide reported nearing €1 billion in annual revenue and achieving profitability for the first time. CEO Johannes Reck attributed this success to the increased demand for travel experiences post-lockdown, emphasizing that people were eager to engage in experiences after a two-year hiatus.
GetYourGuide has successfully raised substantial funding in the past, including a $194 million equity and debt round in 2023, which valued the company at $2 billion. The anticipated share sale is expected to be priced at a premium compared to this valuation.
The platform offers over 150,000 travel experiences globally and collaborates with more than 20,000 suppliers. In the third quarter of 2025, the company saw exceptional growth, selling over 10 million tickets, making it its busiest period to date.
While a spokesperson for GetYourGuide declined to comment on the possible share sale, the discussions reflect the company’s strong position within a rebound sector and its readiness to capitalize on the renewed interest in travel experiences. The developments signal both the company’s growth and the broader recovery of the travel industry post-pandemic.
