loveholidays is a travel booking platform founded in 2012 that shifts holiday search from destination-first to experience-first. Users search by activities, facilities, and preferences (temperature, TripAdvisor ratings, star ratings) rather than geography, and the platform surfaces curated deals across hotels, flights, and package holidays. The company operates across multiple markets with a complex supplier ecosystem and is headquartered in London with 201–500 employees. Current operational focus spans real-time pricing, AI-assisted pre- and post-booking support, accommodation ranking optimization, and international market expansion into Nordic regions.
Python, SQL, R, dbt, BigQuery, Tableau, Looker, GitHub, TypeScript, and marketing platforms including Braze, Twilio, Meta Ads Manager, Google Ads, and Criteo.
Real-time pricing systems, AI-powered pre- and post-booking customer assistance, chatbot training for Nordic languages, search platform optimization, and accommodation sort-order roadmap improvements for international expansion.
