?? Today, we announced our full-year results and Annual Report for 2024, our Sustainability Report and last but not least, our strategic growth plans for 2025. We’re delighted to confirm we delivered profitable results while achieving our guidance. Our core product, Dynamic Holiday Packages (DP), is the fastest-growing business in the group and was instrumental in that achievement. With travel set to remain a top priority for consumer spending in 2025, we have the right assets to secure a strong and distinctive position in this growing market. Our strategic direction is focused on growth, scalability, and efficiency with four core drivers: - Strengthening market presence through a data-driven approach? - A differentiated brand strategy to bring us even closer to our customers - Evolving Dynamic Packages: curating holiday components to complement Flight+Hotel, designed to enhance the traveller's journey. - Helping travelers every step of the way and again until their next holidays, to become their travel companion. Outlining the new trajectory for the group, which places customers at its heart, Chief Executive Officer, Alessandro Petazzi, said we were in the “right moment to secure our position in the fast-growing packaged travel segment”. Alessandro added: “We’re already off to a great start in 2025, with flight-only enjoying a positive trend and Dynamic Holiday Packages delivering strong profitability. We are well-positioned to build on this momentum and are set to evolve our core product to elevate the travel experience." If all this has whetted the appetite to know more, we’ve got you covered. ??

Postcard from paradise! ???? Some of our travel agents just got to experience the magic of Los Cabos firsthand, thanks to our amazing hosts at Fideicomiso de Turismo de Los Cabos. ???? Helping travellers book (and live!) their dream holiday is more than just offering support with reservations - it’s about crafting unforgettable experiences. And what better way for our agents to gain that knowledge than by knowing destinations inside out? This trip was the perfect hands-on training opportunity, allowing them to immerse in everything Los Cabos has to offer - from world-class resorts to unforgettable local experiences. Huge thanks to our partners in Los Cabos for making it happen! ???? Los Cabos Tourism
