The company’s growth in 2017 was mainly due to the Eximtur Business division, which significantly extended its portfolio of corporate clients by concluding an additional 90 contracts. Eximtur Business, through its services involving business trips and event planning, generated over 60% of the company’s total sales. Germany and Great Britain were among the most sought-after foreign business travel destinations, according to the company.
Over 95,000 tourists, 20% more against the previous year, chose domestic destinations in 2017. Sales of vacation packages to balneal and mountainous resorts and to the Danube Delta saw the most dynamic growth, of over 50%, with a sales volume of over EUR6 million. For the Romanian seaside, Eximtur registered sales of over EUR10 million, up 11% versus 2016.
According to the company, another important factor which contribuited to the increase in Eximtur’s sales volume was the acquisition of tourism services through vacation vouchers. 10% of total sales for domestic destinations, nearly EUR1.6 million, was paid through vacation vouchers.
Eximtur has reached 170 employees.
