Riverlodge Backpacker Hostel Competitors

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? We also have ‘Work From Abroad’ policy which allows our people to work from other countries for up to 30 days a year.

Nomad Africa Tours & Safaris, well established, well respected African tour operator which has been specialising in authentic African experiences through Southern and East Africa for over 25 years. Nomad’s story began in 1997 when Alex Rutherford, founder and owner of Nomad, was fortunate enough to have conducted a trans-Africa expedition lasting almost a year. On that journey he encountered numerous companies offering trips to Africa. A void was noticed between strictly budget tours and the more upmarket operations. It was on that trip that the founding principle of Nomad was formed. Our success rests on consistently maintaining high standards, while still retaining the magic and passion that saw us grow so successfully. Still wholly independent, we remain owner-managed, ensuring passionate attention to quality tours every single day. Our belief is that it’s the total experience of the journey that is important. We offer more choices, more dates, any duration, and multiple directions, offering you the best tours and destinations. Our tours guarantee a mix of different ages, nationalities and cultures and everyone has their own story. For 27 years, travelling with Nomad has meant friendship, fun and adventure, plus the security that small group travel brings. Our unrivalled experience in Africa also ensures we’ve spent years refining our service, improving our vehicles, training our staff and maintaining our equipment. We’re confident that our tours are the best in Africa! We pride ourselves on the consistently high quality of our service and product. The best endorsement for our tours is the feedback we receive from satisfied guests – around the world our reputation has been established by word of mouth and that’s the greatest compliment we could ask for! We are extremely proud to be 100% African owned and managed. Living and working every day in Africa means that our finger is directly on the pulse, ensuring you receive the best Africa has to offer.
