Demand for customised travel packages has grown.
Hotelplan Suisse can look back on a successful financial year with sales of CHF 225 million (previous year: CHF 228 million). This was driven in particular by high demand for customised travel packages from the brands travelhouse and tourisme pour tous. Travel under the Hotelplan, Migros Ferien and vtours brands was also very popular. The Volume Tour Operating division continued to grow, with sales coming in at CHF 915 million (previous year: CHF 858 million).
Interhome Group maintained the record level of the previous year with sales of CHF 390 million (previous year: CHF 390 million). Investments in digital solutions and the expansion of the local service network further improved the customer experience offered by the holiday home agency.
In the 2023/2024 financial year, the British subsidiary Hotelplan UK continued its strong performance from the previous year with sales of CHF 237 million (previous year: CHF 239 million). New offices in Brisbane and Toronto were opened to strengthen the market presence in Australasia and North America, and meet the growing demand for adventure travel in these territories.
In the business travel segment, bta first travel and Finass Reisen recorded combined sales of CHF 16 million (previous year: CHF 17 million).
Hotelplan Group relied on innovative solutions to implement its sustainability strategy.
In the 2023/2024 financial year, the Hotelplan Group consistently pushed ahead with its comprehensive sustainability strategy. Through the collaboration with Swiss International Air Lines and a producer of Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF), the Group was able to increase the use of this type of fuel.
Customers can now choose to use SAF instead of making traditional climate protection contributions when booking flights. In addition, a strategic partnership promoted technological solutions for removing CO2 from the air and other emissions-reducing innovations. Hotelplan Group’s new animal welfare policy ensures species-appropriate standards for the welfare of animals in connection with its travel products and services.
