TripAdvisor made its second takeover in a matter of weeks by acquiring New York-based members-only private sale site for hotel bookings Jetsetter.com.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

TripAdvisor last month acquired Tiny Post, an app that lets users write over photos and turn them into stories.

The Jetsetter brand will continue to operate out of New York.

TripAdvisor co-founder and chief executive Steve Kaufer said: “Jetsetter is an outstanding brand and I am absolutely delighted to welcome the Jetsetter team to the TripAdvisor family.

“With Jetsetter and our own SniqueAway brand, we now have two leading travel private sale sites under one roof.

“We are excited by the opportunities this provides to continually help drive amazing value for our travellers staying at some of the world’s most highly-rated hotels.”

Jetsetter was launched by Gilt Groupe in April 2010.
