| Trade receivables and trade payables (including | The fair value approximates to the carrying amount, primarily because of the short |

Experiences merchant accrual | The fair value approximates to the carrying amount because the merchant accrual is |
| measured at the present value of estimated future voucher redemptions discounted at | |
| the incremental borrowing rate at inception, which reflects market interest rates for | |
| liabilities with similar terms and credit risk. As a result, there is no material difference | |
| between the carrying amount and the fair value of the merchant accrual. | |
Interest rate caps | The fair value is determined by discounting the estimated future cash flows at a market |
| rate that reflects the current market assessment of the time value of money and the | |
| risks specific to the instrument. | |
Lease liabilities | The fair value approximates to the carrying amount because the lease liabilities are |
| measured at the present value of future lease payments discounted at the incremental | |
| borrowing rate at inception, which reflects market interest rates for liabilities with | |
| similar terms and credit risk. As a result, there is no material difference between the | |
