The complex is headed towards RON100 million revenue this year, considering the first-half performance. The complex will therefore come close to five-star hotels in Bucharest in terms of revenue. Bucuresti Turism, for instance, the company that runs the five-star Radisson Blu and extended-stay hotel Park Inn by Radisson in Bucharest posted almost RON140 million revenue last year, according to the Finance Ministry website.

Therme Nord Bucuresti returned to profit in the first half, after having posting RON20 million loss last year, following the investments of its owner, Austria’s A-Heat, in the complex. Investment stood at EUR16 million in 2016 alone.

Therme continued investment in the complex this year, opening the biggest urban beach in Europe, a EUR5 million project that put Bucharest in the select league of European capitals with urban beaches like Lisbon, Berlin, Vienna, Paris and Moscow.

The profit of the company that runs the complex stood at RON2 million in the first half.
