The Group expects a positive 2025, as the travel sector continues to expand, though it is cautious as growth rates may moderate following the strong performance of recent years.Sustained Growth in the Fourth Quarter
Total revenue for Q4 2024 rose to EUR639 million, reflecting a 16% year-on-year increase.

This was achieved despite a net initial payment of EUR158 million for Brazilian assets and an additional EUR154 million in ordinary CapEx., as the Company has prioritized repositioning and IT investments starting in 2024 to continue improving the existing portfolio during coming years. Liquidity at year-end stood at EUR533 million, including EUR220 million in cash.
