Growth of 2.2% for the Pierre & Vacances
- Center Parcs Group tourism businesses in Q1 2024/2025 on a
high basis of comparison with the year-earlier period (+6% in Q1
2023/2024) and in a difficult market backdrop.
Regulatory News:
Franck Gervais, CEO of Pierre & Vacances - Center
Parcs (Paris:VAC), stated:
“Growth in the tourism businesses in Q1 2024/2025 followed the
same trend as the previous quarter and confirmed the Group’s strong
operating momentum. The customer satisfaction score increased
across all brands, testifying to the quality of our offer and the
dedication of our teams, reflecting a genuine service culture.
In view of the uncertain economic backdrop shaping trends in
consumer behaviour (increased sensitivity to local and responsible
tourism, momentum in last-minute bookings etc.), the Group boasts
all the assets needed to pursue its growth trajectory”.

Tourism
In an uncertain economic and geopolitical context affected by a
return to normal in the tourism market following two years of
post-Covid rebound, revenue in the Pierre & Vacances-Center
Parcs Group’s tourism businesses increased by 2.2% in Q1 2024/2025,
benefiting from both growth in accommodation revenue (+1.7%) and in
supplementary income5 (+4.4%).
Customer satisfaction was up across all brands.
Accommodation revenue
Accommodation revenue totalled €292.0 million during the
first quarter of 2024/2025, up 1.7% relative to the year-earlier
period.
Growth was driven by an increase in average letting rates
(+4.4%), with the number of nights sold down 2.6% reflecting a
decline in the offer, primarily related to the complete closure of
the Center Parcs Hauts de Bruyères Domain during October and
November 2024 (renovation works on central facilities).
RevPar6 was also higher than in Q1 2023/2024 (+2.0%).
The occupancy rate stood at 67.8% (vs. 69.4% over Q1
2023/2024).
Change in accommodation revenue by
brand
- Center Parcs: +0.5%
Accommodation revenue increased at the Domains located in BNG7
(+3.0%). In contrast, revenue at the French Domains was down
temporarily (-4.2%) due to the complete closure for two months of
the Domaine des Hauts de Bruyères, in line with the renovation
programme.
RevPar across all regions was up by 2.6%.
- Pierre & Vacances: +13.6%
Accommodation revenue at Pierre & Vacances was up sharply
during Q1, driven by:
- Business in France (+9.8%), on the
back of a beneficial calendar effect (two additional days of
holiday in Q1 at high average prices). Mountain resort revenue
therefore increased by 17.4% while seaside resort revenue was up
4.3%.
- Business in Spain, with double-digit
revenue growth (27.8%) driven by an increase in the network
operated, thereby continuing the uptrend noted in previous
quarters.
RevPar was up 8.5%.
- Adagio: -2.5%
The decline in revenue was primarily due to the aparthotels
located in France (-4.5%), with a lower available offer following
the withdrawal from two sites, and disadvantageous comparison with
the year-earlier period which benefited from the Rugby World Cup
tournament held in France in October 2023.
Revenue rose by 5.3% in other countries where the brand
operates.
RevPar was down 1.0%.

Supplementary income8
Q1 2024/2025 supplementary income totalled €80.0 million, up
4.4% relative to Q1 of the previous year, driven by growth in the
maeva.com management and distribution business (+11.1% over the
quarter) and higher onsite sales (+1.5%).
Other economic revenue
Q1 2024/2025 revenue from other businesses totalled €22.8
million in decline compared with Q1 2023/2024 (€30.4 million),
confirming the Group’s ongoing withdrawal from its property and
non-strategic activities.
Revenue from other businesses is primarily made up of:
- Renovation operations at Center Parcs Domains on behalf of
owner-lessors, for €10 million (primarily due to the renovation of
the Domaine des Hauts de Bruyères) compared with €5 million in Q1
2023/2024.
- Les Senioriales for €6.4 million (vs. €14.3 million in Q1
2023/2024).
- the Major Projects business line for €6 million (of which €5.3
million related to the extension of the Villages Nature Paris
Domain), vs. €10.1 million in Q1 2023/ 2024 (of which €8.8 million
related to Villages Nature Paris).
2] Outlook - Tourism businesses
For Q2, the Group expects a trend of late bookings, amplified by
the current macro-economic backdrop in Europe and political context
in France. In addition, the calendar for bank holidays and school
holidays, with certain periods shifted into Q3 compared with last
year, is also set to affect comparison of performances, with H1
2024/2025 penalised by a disadvantageous calendar effect (revenue
booked in the second half).
3] Financial calendar
First half revenue for 2024/2025 will be published on 24 April
2025 after the market close.
4] Reconciliation table between economic
revenue and revenue under IFRS accounting.
Under IFRS accounting, revenue for the first quarter of
2024/2025 totalled €372.5 million, compared with €368.5m in Q1
2023/2024, representing growth of 1.1% driven by the tourism
businesses and the rise in average letting rates.

IFRS11 adjustments: for its operational reporting, the
Group continues to integrate joint operations under the
proportional integration method, considering that this presentation
is a better reflection of its performance. In contrast, joint
ventures are consolidated under equity associates in the
consolidated IFRS accounts.
Impact of IFRS16: The application of IFRS16 leads to the
cancellation in the financial statements of a share of revenue and
capital gains generated on disposals made under the framework of
property operations with third-parties (given the Group’s
right-of-use lease contracts).
