Eurostar reports revenue growth
The company’s representatives have announced a significant boost in the trading environment.
“Despite the difficult trading environment last year, we continued to make major investments in new trains, our stations and our overall service. With the return of travelers from the US and business travel on the increase, the market is now rebounding strongly and we are optimistic about the growth prospects for the year,” stated the company’s CEO, Nicolas Petrovic.
After a four per cent drop in the market request during the first semester of 2016 triggered by the terror attack in Europe, Eurostar is gaining considerable ground with signs of recovery showing at the end of last year and at the beginning of 2017.
According to business reports, last December and the first months of 2017 indicate a strong start for the company, as sales revenues grew by 12 per cent.
Moreover, the numbers of US and UK travelers have also raised by 17 per cent and 4 per cent respectively when compared to 2016, suggesting a return of the US market demand and a strong popularization of Eurostar services across Europe.
