from Europe around the world
In the beginning,
there was an effort to help people travel the world.
Then, the story of Invia began.
Initially, two independent companies were operating from the Czech Republic and Germany, respectively. They grew steadily and expanded to the neighbouring countries: Austria, Hungary, Poland, Slovakia and Switzerland. However, they still operated separately.
Then disaster struck: the CEO of the German group died tragically, and due to other causalities, the whole organisation did not perform well. For Rockaway Capital, this was an immediate challenge: to build up a coherent group which naturally grew up from Czech and German markets spilling over to the neighbouring markets with the clear goal to become a pan-European leader in online travelling.
Not even two years have passed since the Invia Group got consolidated.
Thanks to our disciplined approach, clear vision and active leadership of the Rockaway Capital team, we have managed to reach a position of prominence in the DACH region. Since then the Group is growing fast.
We have reached the first place in the online travel segment in seven countries in Central Europe. Employing more than 1,200 people, the Invia Group offers its services to 160 million customers and aims to achieve sales in the value of EUR 2 billion in 2020.
Our history is not very long.
We believe we are still at the beginning.
