Vacalians Group was born in 2012 out of the merger of Village Center and Vacances Directes, carried out by shareholders 21 Centrale Partners and the Ganivenq family. The Group has played an active part in the consolidation of a highly fragmented sector and rapidly established itself as a major player of the European outdoor accommodation market.
Under the ownership of 21 Centrale Partners, Vacalians Group has enjoyed strong revenue growth while expanding its destinations offering, broadening its customer base and pursuing its international expansion. The acquisition of Canvas Holidays, a significant player of the outdoor accommodation market in the United Kingdom and Northern Europe, was completed in December 2014.
Vacalians was exited in July 2015 through a sale to Permira.
