The Board of Disruptive Investment Group Limited (ASX:DVI) has announced that its wholly owned subsidiary Disruptive Opportunities No.1 Pty Ltd, the owner of the well known online accommodation provider Check-in.com.au has agreed to acquire a 50% stake in EscapeLounge.com.au.
 

Since launching in 2002, Check-in.com.au has successfully established itself as one of Australia's leading online accommodation booking destinations, having recorded over 2.9 million visits in the past 12 months.
 

With the acquisition of the Escape Lounge (to be rebranded Check-in’s Escape Lounge) Check-in.com.au aims to become a one-stop-shop for travellers, offering carefully curated, high-quality tours & activities, experiences and other related add-ons, to compliment the current offering of over 150 000 hotels worldwide.
 

The Escape Lounge’s “Get Inspired’ pages also offer compelling destination content encompassing experiences, tours, activities, events, hotels, resorts, insider tips and reviews, with the intent of remedying the current content void that larger booking sites suffer.
 

The website aims to inspire all types of travellers; from luxury lovers to adrenaline junkies to backpackers to weekend wanderers, with all content on the website categorised to allow seamless research & book-ability functionality.
 

Escape Lounge founder, Jessica Byrnes is thrilled to announce the merger, which acts as the final component to the Escape Lounge’s offering.
 

“This is the missing piece in the Escape Lounge puzzle. Check-in.com.au and the Escape Lounge’s members can now choose from over 150 000 hotels as well as have access to our amazing tours, experiences, car rental and babysitting services and of course, our unique travel content.”
 

“The Escape Lounge transaction has not only allowed us to accelerate our stated development plans for Check-In.com.au but has brought an exceptional management team in-house. We look forward to working together to provide greater travel content and experiences to Australians.” DVI Director Calvin Ng said.
