EBG, one of the fastest growing e-commerce solutions providers in the U.S. specializing in travel and entertainment, is acquiring Undercover Tourist, one of the largest privately held B2C online travel marketplaces in the nation specializing in theme parks and attractions.
The acquisition is complementary to EBG’s current offerings and will expand the EBG portfolio to serve the B2C marketplace while also providing timely and engaging content with trip planning advice, travel tips and more. The Undercover Tourist brand and platform will continue as a separate business unit and the product offerings will expand nationally.
EBG powers a robust portfolio of technology solutions and operates a network of employer and membership-based platforms reaching a captive audience, providing leading brands with incremental distribution opportunities. EBG’s network has a combined reach of over 100 million users from participating companies and closed loop affinity and membership groups.
As a travel website and theme park expert launched in 2000, Undercover Tourist has sold over 25 million theme park admission tickets to key destinations and attractions including Walt Disney World, Disneyland, Universal Orlando Resort, Universal Studios Hollywood, SeaWorld Parks, LEGOLAND Parks and more. Along with helping families save time and money with attraction tickets, hotels and car rentals, Undercover Tourist offers free vacation planning tools, including crowd calendars, apps with park planning itineraries, and more.
