旅行代理店を遣わない旅行者が多くなって来ている証拠

 

旅行代理店の商いは多額の資金が必要です、旅行素材を提供してくれる先（仕入れる）の航空会社、そのB2Bベンダー、ホテル（そのB2Bベンダー）、レストラン、ガイド、鉄道会社、船会社、バス会社、観光施設など、旅行を組む立てる全ての旅行素材提供者へは先払いが必要です、だから多くの資金を手元に置いておく必要があります、ですから、なんの経営母体も持たない中小零細旅行代理店は常に資金繰りに頭を悩ましています、もはや与信（後払い）契約など存在しません、まさに自転車操業状態です

現金は手元に置いておきたいもんです

いわゆる、cash burn倒産ですね

Europe’s 3rd Largest Tour Operator Goes Bankrupt

欧州3位の大手旅行会社が破産

2024年6月3日

欧州では新型コロナ禍でストップしていた旅行マーケットは既に一昨年末頃から急恢復したと認識していましたが、欧州でも旅行者は、旅行代理店を介した旅行をしないと言う表れですね

Market pundits estimate the Tour Operator still owes approximately 2 million euros to hotels in Greece

Europe’s third largest Tour Operator “FTI Touristik” has declared bankruptcy upsetting the plans of thousands of travelers, with scheduled trips expected to be either canceled or partly suspended as early as tomorrow, Tuesday, June 4.

According to sources, the German-based company has reportedly settled any outstanding debts to nearly all its client hotels in Crete, while market pundits estimate the Tour Operator still owes approximately 2 million euros to hotels in the rest of the country.

FTI Touristik GmbH, the parent company of FTI Group, filed for insolvency with the Munich District Court. The company in its statement said trips scheduled to start from tomorrow, Tuesday, June 4, are likely to be canceled or only partially carried out.

Every effort is currently being made to complete already commenced trips as planned,” the group stated. Initially, the bankruptcy filing directly affects only the corporate brand FTI Touristik, but similar filings for other companies within the group are expected to follow”, a statement read.

The announcement noted that after a long and complex process of discussions with investors, the entry of a consortium to finance the group was announced in April 2024. However, since then, booking numbers have fallen significantly below expectations despite the positive news. Additionally, many suppliers insisted on prepayment, resulting in an increased need for liquidity that could not be met until the investment process was completed. Consequently, the bankruptcy filing became legally necessary.

Europe’s third-largest tour operator FTI files for insolvency

June 3, 20248:19 PM GMT+9Updated a day ago

BERLIN, June 3 (Reuters) – Europe’s third-largest tour operator FTI Group filed for insolvency in the Munich regional court on Monday, the German company said in a statement, as bookings continued to fall even after a recent one-euro buyout proposal.
In addition to sinking orders, multiple suppliers insisted on advance payments, which FTI is no longer able to provide.
The group has opened a hotline and a website for customers, the statement added.
It will have to either cancel or complete only partially all trips from June 4, potentially affecting thousands of holidaymakers at the beginning of the travel-busy summer season.
The German Foreign Ministry said that the tourism industry and travel insurance fund would take care of repatriating and supporting the tourists affected but that it would provide consular support if necessary to ensure a safe return.
The German Economy Ministry called the insolvency “tragic” adding that it could not provide any additional assistance.
The government needs to examine in detail what effect the insolvency will have on the recovery aid funding it had granted FTI during the pandemic, a finance ministry spokesperson said.
“It must be assumed that only small recoveries can be expected from the outstanding claims,” the spokesperson said.

 

The government had been awaiting approval for a sale of receivables as the most economical way to claw back the funds before the company filed for insolvency, the spokesperson said.
The return of the receivables is no longer possible after insolvency, the spokesperson added.
FTI employs 11,000 people worldwide and offers tours to more than 40 destinations around the world, including through its 10,000 partner agencies in Germany.
In the 2022/2023 financial year, it reported annual sales of around 4.1 billion euros ($4.44 billion).
($1 = 0.9234 euros)
