Our foreign exchange and travel businesses (across Thomas Cook India & SOTC) and Sterling Holiday Resorts were the main drivers of Q1’s good performance, a typically strong seasonal quarter.

“Our focus continues to be on driving volumes, while effectively managing margins and costs,” he continued. The leisure and business areas of our order books show a robust forward trend, and we are optimistic about development in the upcoming quarters.
