In this episode of GMH EU, Leo and Sarah are joined by Simon Lehmann (AJL Consulting, former CEO of Interhome) to break down HomeToGo’s €160M acquisition of Interhome and its impact on the vacation rental industry, property management landscape, and market consolidation in Europe. They also discuss the growing trend of Buy Now, Pay Later in travel, Airbnb’s latest warning about online booking scams, and how social media is becoming a key booking channel for Gen Z travelers—potentially bypassing regulations.
