Travel agencies are constantly growing – there is a new record of trips sold

What did the April and May results mean for the entire first five months of this year?

As a reminder, in our first-quarter summary, we reported a noticeable slowdown in the growth rate of travel agency sales. At that time, the overall year-on-year increase was 2.6 percent. Charter trips saw a 5.8 percent increase, other transportation options saw a 6.7 percent increase, and domestic and near-abroad trips saw a 10.3 percent decline.

April and May appear to have seen a slight improvement in travel agency travel. Charters have seen an 8 percent increase since May (2.25 million in total), "other foreign destinations" have seen a 9 percent increase (786,000), and only "domestic and near foreign destinations" saw a 10 percent drop (837,600).

In total, the number of travel agency clients reached 3.87 million from January to May , a record high in the history of the Polish organized tourism market. This was 3 percent higher than last year .
