Eurotravel to an end. A reflection on the situation
In a communication addressed to travel agents, Eurotravel salutes and goes: history ended.
but not goodbye "normal" like that of several tour operators that have ruled in recent years, in the exercise of 'good-bye "or, in most cases, without even saying goodbye.
There are many considerations to be done about it.
The first is for obvious reasons the company itself, others have much more general character.
not want to comment on the final period of Eurotravel that, as in "choke" has inevitably been shaken by convulsions and conduct business even desperate.
Human all too human would say, even if they were to be involved in our clients. The end of the travel agents as we found ourselves in a difficult position: we advised a serious and reliable operator ... and we are left with the possibility that the living room, already paid, he refused ...
Eurotravel was, for most of its corporate existence, a serious and reliable partner for the Italian industry of travel agencies. An operator who has followed a clear path of quality, let us say, "paid."
But what is important to say is that the case Eurotravel is just a case of crisis companies tour operation that has characterized this summer extremely critical.
For the first time there has been a large number of tour operators, mid-level if not higher than have been shorted. And 'this data that should make us reflect.
The structural weakness of our businesses is now known to occur. The margins so small (and increasingly smaller) makes it very difficult to overcome situations of liability once they have begun.
But it also said that some of our tour operators are also paying a mad rush that saw them allow no margin for networks of travel agencies that have made the poor quality of the service of a structural element.
A crazy run that has depressed both economically and professionally, throughout the industry.
packages granted almost no margin just to make volume and / or to mark a competitor and when these same networks are low cost in crisis, it turns out that the economic volumes involved - that is owed to those to-no means small but highly significant so far as to undermine the operators themselves.
Eurotravel The case is an indicator highly significant precisely because it strikes a serious company and, until the day before yesterday, healthy and reliable. An indicator of a structural weakness in a sector that is perhaps endemic and therefore can not be resolved, but certainly better quality in general, services in particular and certainly improved quality of the relationship between TA and might go some way to mitigate. Quality means quality of relationships and selection of suppliers, on both sides. Only then will they be acceptable as the case may be because of Eurotravel ecczioni that prove the rule but now I'm just a special case among many. Finally
"banks" and their presence in our industry, we know that our sector is a very special and that managers who are placed Dalgo banks do not know him well, but the effect on competition (where there are many small firms) of a subject to enter continuously available capital to prop up companies (which had previously provided money and then entered the capital it is impossible to recover a debt) is devastating.
