            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to LockTrip’s booking report for January 2025! Last month was a strong one, posting record results for key metrics such as the booking volume (285,000 EUR) and core bookings (+10%). Let’s dive into the report!</p><p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong><em> Cancelled bookings are not included in our reports.</em></p><h3>Room-Nights Booked</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*uPp5A_c0m_D4S-g7b0QJaA.png" /></figure><p>A total of 1,814 room-nights were booked through the LockTrip.com marketplace in January, marking a new record and almost twice the number of the previous month.</p><h3>Booking Volume (EUR)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vHo9FRt3wCgMliSZA1JBgg.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the booking volume for the month, a new record performance of 285,000 EUR was achieved, supported by a strong average booking value, resulting in a growth rate of 13% year over year.</p><h3>Share of New Lead Bookings</h3><p><strong><em>“New Lead Bookings”</em> </strong>are defined as placed within 30 days after registration. Thus measuring the contribution of newly acquired users to the total performance.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*wsTxeAZuGlxgbaNnIMXv1g.png" /></figure><p>Dropping to 28% in the month of January, the temporary pause in marketing campaigns is clearly reflected. Although the campaigns were resumed in the second half of the month, there is usually a lag effect until the conversions start to materialize.</p><h3>Core Bookings</h3><p><strong><em>“Core Bookings”</em></strong> are defined as bookings that are made by users with at least six months of membership history.</p><p>This metric helps us identify the long-term booking trends and cumulative potential of the existing user base. By focusing only on older accounts, we are able to filter out the short-term volatility arising from marketing campaigns and other factors.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*5pMeQsuAkAqmvTBlGyZFZA.png" /></figure><p>Core bookings in January continued on a very strong trajectory, surpassing the previous record by 10%. This metric highlights that the record booking volume for the month was mainly driven by returning customers, especially when considering the previous chart showing low bookings from new users.</p><h3>Most Booked Countries</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*zG2v-BXC-QRGw0b5t1UyAw.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the destination breakdown, we see a very strong performance of Cyprus — reaching 190 room-nights in a single month. Mediterranean countries dominate all three podium positions, indicating that travellers are starting to book their spring vacations. A special mention goes to the rare appearance of Peru in the 10th spot, reaching 71 room-nights booked.</p><h3>New Referrals</h3><p><strong><em>“New Referrals”</em></strong> are defined as users who are assigned to a LockTrip affiliate and verified their email address.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*jpe55y_kU27Mp60lEsHsew.png" /></figure><p>Referral acitvity (which includes influencer campaigns) has seen a rebound from the slow month of December, reflecting the resumption of the influencer campaigns.</p><h3>New Verified Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*86WOW_DAqv42Gx-DN8gCMQ.png" /></figure><p>As a result we saw more than 8,000 new members join the LockTrip family, marking the continuation of the positive trend seen in the second half of 2024.</p><h3>Total Verified Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*0a762llk3nJm9O9zbAYKGA.png" /></figure><p>The total number of verified users on the marketplace surpassed 199,000 — just shy of the 200k milestone!</p><h3>Monthly Unique Paying Users</h3><p><strong><em>“Unique Paying Users”</em></strong> is defined as the number of users who made at least one booking during the month (excluding cancellations).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*47GrZAhIDkd0xYE-0LYDYw.png" /></figure><p>419 unique customers made bookings in January, marking the second best month to date.</p><h3>Total Unique Paying Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vlZI0ahR0Md7Oq1YfNdA8A.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the broader picture, we surpassed 6,800 unique paying users on the marketplace for the first time!</p><p>That’s it for the month!

            <content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to LockTrip’s booking report for December 2024! Last month was a strong one, posting strong results for key metrics such as the booking volume (+48% YoY) and core bookings (+38%). Let’s dive into the report!</p><p><strong><em>Note:</em></strong><em> Cancelled bookings are not included in our reports.</em></p><h3>Room-Nights Booked</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*EQvWmJRD7njKfeazURw-Rw.png" /></figure><p>A total of 1,075 room-nights were booked through the LockTrip.com marketplace in December, marking a slight decrease over the same month last year. This was mainly due to the pause of marketing campaigns as the holiday season tends to underperform in terms of efficiency.</p><h3>Booking Volume (EUR)</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*ENKEyCfMJ7pSnKv0iO9dNA.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the booking volume for the month, a new strong performance of 220,000 EUR was achieved due to a high average booking value, resulting in a growth rate of 48% year over year.</p><h3>Share of New Lead Bookings</h3><p><strong><em>“New Lead Bookings”</em> </strong>are defined as placed within 30 days after registration.

This again confirms that the slower performance in the number of room-nights originated from the tempoarily throttled marketing activities, as opposed to the core user base.</p><h3>Most Booked Countries</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*tbzYlbmxG7dc0hUp9Hwwag.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the destination breakdown, the US was the most popular country by a wide maring reaching almost 150 room-nights. Another surprise entry is Canada, capturing the 4th spot in a rare occasion. That being said, Europe continues to dominate by making up 6 of the top 10 countries.</p><h3>New Referrals</h3><p><strong><em>“New Referrals”</em></strong> are defined as users who are assigned to a LockTrip affiliate and verified their email address.</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*imjMghVn2KKpnmumi1DxxQ.png" /></figure><p>Referral acitvity (which includes influencer campaigns) has seen a slowdown in December due to the holiday season.</p><h3>New Verified Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*qAvmlxh0rXiTrxaQCjB3Sw.png" /></figure><p>Despite the throttling of the marketing campaings, we still saw more than 6,000 new members joining the LockTrip family, which makes it a remarkably strong outcome.</p><h3>Total Verified Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*98mGVlsHX32apJ1_L74vuQ.png" /></figure><p>As a result, the total number of verified users on the marketplace surpassed 190,000.</p><h3>Monthly Unique Paying Users</h3><p><strong><em>“Unique Paying Users”</em></strong> is defined as the number of users who made at least one booking during the month (excluding cancellations).</p><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*vDWk0NAN4l9Qv_khUZd6nw.png" /></figure><p>341 unique customers made bookings in December, marking a strong performance in a usually slow month.</p><p>Year over year, the number of unique paying users increased by 11%.</p><h3>Total Unique Paying Users</h3><figure><img alt="" src="https://cdn-images-1.medium.com/max/1024/1*JugM_sqfLNl9a1S3W7gcXA.png" /></figure><p>Looking at the broader picture, we surpassed 6,500 unique paying users on the marketplace for the first time!</p><p>That’s it for the month!
