Novaturas Reports Growth in Winter Travel and Workation Trends

Novaturas' Positive Performance in August

Novaturas Group, a key player in the Baltic tourism sector, reported revenues of EUR 18.8 million in August, closely matching last year’s EUR 18.9 million. During this time, they served approximately 25,900 customers, slightly lower than the 27,000 served in the same month last year.

Revenue Trends Over the Year

From January to August 2024, the company achieved total revenues of EUR 129.5 million, catering to 164,000 customers. In comparison, the previous year, they recorded EUR 139.6 million in revenues with 181,000 customers. This slight decline indicates a shift in market dynamics, but Novaturas remains resilient.

Successful Management and Strategy

According to Kristijonas Kaikaris, CEO of Novaturas, approximately 90% of this year’s travel program sales were made by the end of August. The company successfully maintained a consistent load factor throughout the summer, which they attribute to effective adjustments in their travel offerings. By closely monitoring customer preferences and market trends, Novaturas continues to position itself as a dependable travel partner.

Winter Travel Program Highlights

Since launching its early-booking winter travel program in June, Novaturas has witnessed significant interest in exotic destinations, more than a 28% increase compared to last year. Among their appealing long-haul winter offerings, travel to Vietnam, Thailand, and Tanzania saw notable growth, reflecting the travelers’ eagerness for new experiences.

Regional Sales Performance

In terms of regional results for early winter bookings, Novaturas experienced sales growth in Lithuania by 27% and in Latvia by 34%. However, Estonia reported a decline in sales, which the company connects to a general market slowdown attributed to macroeconomic factors in that area.

Preparing for Future Seasons

As summer concluded, Novaturas began gearing up for the autumn holiday season and the forthcoming winter, alongside preparing for summer bookings to be announced in September. Their extensive array of recreational and sightseeing trips will continue to feature well-loved destinations as well as newer options that have emerged in recent years.

Focus on Group Travel and Workations

In addition to standard offerings, Novaturas is increasing its focus on incentive trips, workations, and larger group travel experiences that are gaining traction in the industry. They have organized around 70 of these group trips (with 29 already completed) throughout Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia this year, catering to over 6,300 customers.

Notable Workation Opportunities

Among these services is a significant workation trip originating from Lithuania. Many large and medium companies have turned to Novaturas for organizing workations, which can be tailored to specific requests. This careful approach to group travel has enabled Novaturas to foster strong relationships with its clients.
