Travel agency: Half of Romanian tourists pay for their holidays in instalments

Over 60% of all customers of the Christian Tour travel agency buy packages with discounts, via early bookings, and more than half of them pay their holidays in instalments, according to Marius Pandel, CEO of Christian Tour. “Romanians tend to choose the front seats and the bus gets filled from the front to the back because of this reason,” said Pandel, cited by local Wall-street.ro. He added that 70% of the revenues are generated by charters, 20% by packages for seniors and circuits, and 10% come from ticketing and exotic holidays. Irina Popescu, irina.popescu@romania-insider.com
