With over 20 years experience of working in the travel industry, Dhamija pioneered the Internet market in 1996 by establishing the first interactive travel website in the UK.
ebookers.com was later established as a separate Internet company in June 1999, going on to launch a new and enhanced, user-friendly website in September of the same year, at www.ebookers.com.
The on-line travel industry is well positioned to benefit from the massive surge in Internet users worldwide, and ebookers.com has invested in the very latest pioneering technology to make sure that they are at the forefront of any competition when it comes to capturing the pan-European marketplace.
With a staff of 350 the company has a strong and experienced management team with a proven industry track record, including technology experts and top marketers, to ensure it maintains its position as one of the UK’s most prominent travel portals and achieves its aim of becoming the premier online travel company in Europe.
With its flotation on Nasdaq (EBKR) and the Neuer Markt (eb6) in November 1999, ebookers.com plans to continue it’s rapid rate of growth with an aggressive expansion scheme across Europe. The head office is in Central London.
