History
By 2007, Holidaybreak held a portfolio of specialist holiday businesses.[1]
Holidaybreak became a wholly owned subsidiary of former competitor Cox & Kings in July 2011[2] after a long period of attempting to sell two loss-making parts of its business, Explore and Superbreak.[3] Three years later, in June 2014, Cox & Kings announced the sale of the camping division of its subsidiary Holidaybreak Ltd to France’s Homair Vacances, for 89 billion Rs (approx. $145 million).[4][5]
In 2022, following the 2020 collapse of Cox & Kings,[6] Holidaybreak was ultimately controlled by Ares Management, an American asset management company.[7] It conducts most of its business through Meininger Hotels Limited, which operates hotels in Germany and several other European countries.[8]

Holidaybreak operates under multiple brands, however, the majority of their customer volume is through PGL and through their Meininger Division.[9] Other brands include NST, EST, and Travelplus.
