Hostelworld Group PLC a ground-breaking social network powered OTA focused on the hostelling category, with a clear Mission to help travellers find people to hang out with. Our Mission statement is founded on the insight that the vast majority of travellers go hostelling as a means to meet other people; which we facilitate through a series of Social features on our platform that connect our travellers in hostels and cities based on their booking data. To date the strategy has been extraordinarily successful: accelerating revenues beyond pre pandemic levels, generating significant word of mouth from our customers, and strong endorsements from our Hostel partners. As a consequence, we expect to serve almost 8M travellers on our platform with a GMV in the range of €500M in 2022; and continue to grow GMV to €700M+ by 2025. More details of our growth strategy and our significant growth ambitions are available in our recent Capital Markets Day presentation on our corporate website. Founded in 1999, Hostelworld is a well-known trusted brand with 250 employees across 11 countries; hostel partners in 170 countries; and a strong commitment to building a better world in all that we do. It’s hard to capture why it’s so great working at Hostelworld. But here’s a little snippet of some of the great policies we have in place to enable all our colleagues to work in a way that suits them to really get the best from everyone. We offer Agile Working including flexible working hours, Quiet Wednesdays (aka, no meetings Wednesday), and the ability to work from anywhere you like in the country you’re employed in – café, hostel, rooftop bar anyone?

Luna Park Sydney is a rare heritage-listed art deco amusement park on the water-edge of Sydney Harbour at Milson’s Point. Operating since 1935, Luna Park Sydney gives joy, wonder and escapism to more than a million visitors per year. To step under the iconic face was a different world –a world of fun –and the Park quickly became a vital part of Sydney’s social and cultural fabric. Today, Luna Park remains one of the most intact art-deco amusement parks in the world, as a familiar need for escapism and fun grows in an uncertain post-pandemic world. Built in 1935, Luna Park is Sydney’s oldest and most iconic Amusement Park and since 2010 has been listed on the NSW State heritage register. The Luna Park Site is managed by the Luna Park Reserve Trust and since 2004, Luna Park Sydney PtyLtd has held a 40-year operating lease. In January 2021, the Park closed temporarily to install 9 new rides making it one of the biggest Amusement Park upgrades in the world. Of course, the rides are the main attraction but there is so much more to be enjoyed including; Sideshow games, classic theme park food (fairy floss), entertainment from the Showtime team and special events such as Halloscream.
