- Annual revenue rose by 33% to £20.6 million, with strong demand for package holidays continuing to drive growth.
- The fourth quarter alone saw a 9% increase in revenue, although market competition slightly slowed momentum.

The travel arm of the Moneysupermarket Group reported a substantial increase in its annual revenue, rising by 33% to reach £20.6 million in 2023. This growth was mainly fuelled by a sustained demand for package holidays, which remained a popular choice among consumers throughout the year.
Despite a competitive market environment, the company’s revenue for the fourth quarter increased by 9%, underscoring a promising outlook for future growth. This indicates a robust performance, even though the rate of growth exhibited some deceleration during this period.
The company attributed part of its success to strategic investments, including the launch of a new television advertisement – the first for TravelSupermarket in seven years. Moreover, technological enhancements were made to the platform to support continued expansion in a competitive market.
Moneysupermarket Group’s Ice Travel Group, which amalgamates TravelSupermarket and Icelolly.com, leveraged proprietary bidding technology from Icelolly.com. This technology enables providers to bid for more prominent placement on the website, thus enhancing visibility and attracting more business. According to the company, the combined reach of the two brands significantly contributed to the strong growth experienced over the year.
The travel division’s substantial revenue growth reflects strategic investments and successful technological integration, positioning it well for future expansion.
