Six brands united around outdoor tourism
Founded by Guillaume Patrizi, Holidays&Co developed its approach to camping stays distribution with Camping-and-Co.com and to vacation rentals with TripandCo.com.
In parallel, Destination Express, founded by Frédéric Hernandez, specializes in online distribution of vacation rentals and ski holidays, as well as in comparing camping offers. Its activities are anchored notably by the brands Location-Vacances-Express.com, Ski-Express.com and Mobilhome-Express.fr.
Finally, Campsited offers travelers the chance to discover and book camping and outdoor experiences across Europe. Its integration should enable Clear Sky International to extend its presence beyond the French market.

Frédéric Hernandez, founder of Destination Express and strategic advisor to the group, stated: « The travel distribution landscape is evolving rapidly, but technology alone is not enough. Creating long-term value relies on combining deep market knowledge, trusted relationships, and complementary expertise. Clear Sky gives us the opportunity to bring these strengths together, to share what each company does best, and to create new opportunities in European markets. I am very pleased to continue contributing to this ambition as the platform develops. »
On his side, Guillaume Patrizi, founder of Holidays&Co and strategic advisor to the group, added: « The European tourism market is extraordinarily rich, yet remains fragmented. The goal is not simply to build a larger group. It is to bring together proven companies, strong brands, and experienced entrepreneurs, and to create more value by combining their know-how across the various European markets.
It is this long-term vision that gives meaning to the project: preserving what makes each company strong and successful, while creating the conditions for them to go further together. I am happy to continue contributing to the development of this ambition on a European scale. »
