            <description><![CDATA[ Revenue and performance are holding up against the first signs of the economic slowdown - Restructuring of the Group is completed, including successful reorganisation of the Swiss business - Thanks to a strong brand and product portfolio, the company is in a good position to withstand the challenges that lie ahead. Glattbrugg, 15 January 2009 &brvbar; The Hotelplan Group, which operates internationally and is an affiliate of the Migros Group, generated revenues of CHF 1.928 billion and operational EBITDA of CHF 41.2 million in the 2007/2008 business year (year-end: 31 October). Compared to last year&#39;s record results, revenues are down by - 2.5% and operating profit by - 27.7%. Hotelplan &#39;s summer business was particularly impacted by the financial and economic crisis. The significant depreciation of the British pound sterling as well as the weak Euro and the extreme fluctuations in aviation fuel prices have all had a negative impact on company performance. In view of the changed economic climate, the fundamental reorganisation of the Swiss business in 2008 has proven to be the right decision for the company.&nbsp; Hotelplan Group&#39;s international business performed well, both with Interhome and in the UK. However, these results are impacted by negative currency trends in the consolidated accounts. In the Swiss travel business, the results were better than the previous year, however they are still not at a satisfactory level. In 2008 the separately-managed business units Hotelplan Schweiz AG and Travelhouse AG were consolidated under the overall management of M-Travel Switzerland (MTCH AG). This challenging reorganisation involved numerous internal resources.At the same time, however, it allowed a more accurate positioning of the brand portfolio and helped capitalise on Group synergies with the entry into the &#39;budget travel&#39; segment through &#39;Migros Ferien&#39; and &#39;Denner Reisen&#39;.As expected, the outsourcing of operational responsibility for Belair to Air Berlin allowed Hotelplan to gain additional flexibility in the management of flight capacities. ]]></description>
