LEEDS, ENGLAND, September 12, 2022 /24-7PressRelease/ — Enjoy Travel gets listed on THE OCMX™

A group of travel comparison and booking brands, with a focus on car rentals. We are an established 13-year-old business, which we re-structured in 2019 with new shareholders for growth through tech development, innovation, and acquisition. In October 2019, the business was restructured by British investors/entrepreneurs. During 2020 EnjoyTravel.com was re-born with a new brand, a new website, and new languages creating exponential reach to new global markets.

The OCMX™ is pleased to announce the listing of Enjoy Travel to its online portal which offers financial networks the ability to learn more about this exciting opportunity.

The OCMX™ has spent considerable time completing its due diligence on Enjoy Travel and concluded that there is indeed a tremendous potential for this company.

PROBLEM THEY ARE SOLVING
We compare car rental providers worldwide, help customers find the best price/deal/benefits and make their reservation online. We also provide a wide range of travel information & recommendations and have a strong following through our Big 7 Travel brand.

Throughout the COVID era, The Enjoy shareholders acquired Big 7 Travel, and also a 25% stake in a struggling competitor HolidayCars.com and quickly returned it back to profit, and by early 2022 we had completed and launched our own in-house tech platform in with 18 languages.

WHERE THEY ARE HEADED
Enjoy Travel were pioneers in introducing the Fair Fuel Policy and being the first comparison site in the UK to only work with rental providers who adopted a fair fuel policy, helping consumers to avoid rip-off fuel policies when renting a car abroad. Our background is comparison brands, and we are now in an advanced stage of launching our hotel comparison platform.

We are also in the process of amalgamating our high organic traffic site Big7Travel (bigseventravel.com) into Enjoy – our goal to create the world’s best integrated travel information site and booking site is here.

OPPORTUNITY HIGHLIGHTS
• Combining our travel content platform with our online comparison booking site will give a market leading combination of rich travel, lifestyle, and food & drink content alongside booking facilities.
