Atlantic Tour sales up to 4.7m euros

Bucharest-based travel agency Atlantic Tour concluded 2003 with 180bn ROL in turnover, 22% up from 2002. In euros, the result amounted to 4.73 million, close to the 2002 level. The agency posted net profit worth 8bn ROL (some 200,000 euros). “Turnover was slightly below the target we had set last year, but it was a difficult year for the entire sector,” Bogdan Gligor, economic director of the company, said. In 2003, Romanian tourism agencies saw a slight growth in euros, at best. “For this year, we aim at a 15-20% real turnover growth, but it is all up to the global and domestic context,” Gligor also said.
