Blink’s easy-to-use mobile app caters to on-the-go travellers looking for unique hotels in travel hot spots across Europe, and seems to complement Groupon’s existing European travel offerings.Īaron Cooper, Senior Vice President of Groupon Getaways, commented: “The combination of a fantastic mobile app, same-day inventory management for properties and a team that is obsessed with mobile and last-minute travel will help us further expand our travel business as the go-to destination for great deals on great places to stay.”

Madrid-based Blink was founded in 2011 and today works with more than 2,000 hotel partners in eight European countries. The terms of the acquisition were not disclosed. Groupon today announced the acquisition of last-minute travel app Blink, which acts as a platform for great deals on highly curated, same-day hotel bookings (Update – April 2023: The startup seems to be no longer in business under this website, and we therefore deactivated the original link).
