Eurostar reports solid third quarter in 2011

Eurostar, the high-speed passenger rail service between the UK and mainland Europe, has announced its results for the third quarter of 2011, having delivered a solid performance during the period with sales revenues up 7% (£197m in 2011 vs. £183m in 2010). Looking back across the year to date, total sales revenue figures have grown by 5% compared to the same period in 2010 (£617m in 2011 vs £588m in 2010).

The total number of passengers travelling on Eurostar services between January and September 2011, rose by 1% compared to the same period last year (7.3m in 2011 vs. 7.2m in 2010). Excluding the estimated impact of the ash cloud disruption in 2010, the underlying increase in passenger numbers for the year to date was 3%.

Nicolas Petrovic, Chief Executive, Eurostar, said: "We have delivered a solid performance during both the third quarter and the year as a whole although the tough trading environment across Europe demands a cautious watching brief. Since the beginning of the year we have seen growth in both our sales revenues and passenger numbers reinforcing our popularity with regular and new travellers alike."

In spite of an uncertain economic climate, Business Premier sales revenues grew 2% in Q3 2011 vs. Q3 2010. While this underlines the operator's positive performance during 2011, Eurostar remains cautious about the outlook moving forward in a challenging business environment.

The number of leisure travellers for the year to date grew by 2%. Research has shown that during previous economic downturns, leisure travellers have tended to protect their expenditure on short-haul leisure breaks, and this behaviour appears to have been borne out by Eurostar's experience.

This trend is reinforced by the strong growth in international passenger numbers, up 21% for the year to date and 15% for the third quarter compared with same periods in 2010. This increase has been evident throughout 2011 reflecting the continued favourability of the UK and Europe as a travel destination.

With London 2012 now less than a year away, Eurostar anticipates increased interest in the UK as a destination as the world's focus turns to the Games next year.

Eurostar has recently cemented its commitment to enhance the digital experience for travellers both before and during their trips. The recent launch of a free mobile application, which allows passengers to book journeys on-the-go and receive tickets direct to their mobile devices, is already proving popular with customers.

Eurostar is also introducing on board Wi-Fi connectivity and state-of-the-art infotainment for its fleet of high speed trains as part of its £700million investment programme.

Nicolas Petrovic said: "With our new mobile App it's easier than ever before for customers to access our services on the move. This is the first in a series of digital initiatives and is evidence of our continued commitment to upgrading the online experience for our customers."

Ragdale Hall wins awards

Ragdale Hall has earned yet another award for its burgeoning trophy cabinet, this time for its renowned fitness offer. Readers of Spa Finder recently voted it amongst the top 10 spas in the world for fitness programmes, alongside a selection of the giants of the global spa industry.

"This is a fabulous honour and most gratefully received, as we put a lot of effort into this aspect of the business in order to ensure our guests are able to take part in many varied activities, some unique to us and all taught to a high standard. It's particularly rewarding to note we are the only UK spa to make the top 10 list", point out Senior Manager, Dean Hodgkin, the man behind Ragdale Hall's fitness philosophy.

With a timetable currently featuring classes such as Samurai, Drums Alive, Magical Musicals, Aromaball and Yoqua, Ragdale Hall's guests are familiar with the workout boundaries being stretched as Fitness Manager, Chris Chambers and his Team constantly seek to keep exercise fresh with new and innovative fitness formats.

Dean goes on to say: "Putting fun into fitness in not just a motto for us, but a way of life. We recognise that our guests come from different backgrounds and with varying fitness levels but our aim is always the same, to inspire them through an exciting, entertaining and educational fitness experience."

Having been voted Best International Fitness Presenter at a global industry event in New York in 2007, it's fair to assume Dean has a good handle on all things fitness, but the beauty of Ragdale Hall's ever evolving fitness programming is that the staff are key in developing new ideas and guest feedback is the lifeblood of the fitness department.

"We have a great formula of scheduling special events weeks when we can trial new themed workouts and then survey our guests to establish what they think. Popular classes make it onto the regular timetable and not so popular ones go back to the drawing board, it's a very simple process", Dean contiues.

With recent group exercise creations including the resistance training class Behind Bars, a skipping workout called On The Ropes, a unique marriage of old and new in Yogabody and Cycology, the spinning class that can only be described as meditation in motion, you never know quite what to expect, but you can be sure it'll put sweat on your brow and a smile on your face.....especially if you consider Zest Magazine recently voted Ragdale Hall the best spa for VFM!

EZE Group evacuates volcano tourists

US-based travel and leisure specialists EZE Group has evacuated almost 50 holidaymakers from the south coast of the Canary Islands’ smallest island as fears grow over the activity of an underwater volcano.

The move affected 23 couples, and was taken as authorities in El Hierro raised their alert level to red, following three subsea eruptions – Spain’s first since 1971 – and an unprecedented earthquake storm.

Over 10,300 earthquakes have been recorded on the island since July 17th 2011.

The majority of the holidaymakers were taken to resorts in Tenerife, although some have decided to stay on the island, but have been moved to safer areas.

The 570 residents of La Restinga, a busy area popular with scuba-divers, were also evacuated as a precautionary measure.

EZE Group’s European Sales and Marketing Director Gerald Tiernan said: “We would only disturb our customers’ holidays as a last resort, but their safety is our number one concern, so we reluctantly took this measure on the advice of the local authorities in El Hierro.

“Apart from a few die-hard sun and solitude seekers, who were moved to safer parts of the island, we have relocated most of them to Tenerife at no cost.

“We advise all holidaymakers considering a trip to El Hierro to either delay their holiday, or consider the equally tranquil islands of La Gomera and La Palma instead.”

EZE Group allows people to buy credits, which can be used on a wide range of leisure activities, including holidays, spa and city breaks, and entertainments like theatre and restaurant visits.

The company was formed in the USA in 2001 and now has offices throughout North America and Europe.

Their services include helping people who are interested in selling timeshare, and advice for those looking for things to do in Tenerife, or considering holidays in any Canary Island resorts.
