In February 2017, LDC acquired a minority stake in the company for GBP 6. 5 million. The total amount raised by the company is GBP 6. 5 million, with this being the sole investment deal recorded.
Blue Bay Travel specializes in luxurious all-inclusive holiday packages, integrating accommodations, flights, and activities to enhance customer experiences.

They primarily operate in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Middle East, and select European destinations, catering to leisure travelers, couples, and families seeking memorable vacations.
