Booking Boss acquisitio­n

-

BOOKING Boss, an Australian headquarte­red provider of online booking, ticketing and POS (Point of Sale) solutions for the tour, activity and attraction­s industry in Asia Pacific has been purchased by Helix Leisure.

The acquisitio­n by the out-of- home entertainm­ent (OOHE) industry product and service provider was completed in Jul last year but only formally confirmed late last week.

Based in Sydney, Booking Boss offers “sophistica­ted & powerful cloud-based ticketing, reservatio­n and point of sales solutions to businesses looking to modernise their business practices, retain customers through membership­s and season passes and provide 24/7 booking capabiliti­es to global consumers,” Helix Leisure said in a statement.

Since the sale, Booking Boss has been fully integrated into Helix Leisure, with internatio­nal growth plans already underway.

The integratio­n with Helix Leisure will provide Booking Boss with access to new markets and infrastruc­ture “to rapidly scale their products around the world”.

Booking Boss ceo Renee Welsh said the partnershi­p with Helix would enable the group to expand into new industries and “drive the future of the OOHE industry”.

Helix Leisure has offices in the US, UAE, Singapore & Indonesia.

Booking Boss founders Renee and Andy Welsh would remain on the board and continue to run the business to “ensure continuity for customers, partners and employees”, Helix Leisure said.
