The Project
  • 3.3 MARKET OVERVIEW
  • Until now in Europe, leisure and tourism, though
    complementary, have developed separately
  • Why? the single-day visit hurdle
  • Leisure no lodging (outings)
  • Tourism lodging (tourism)
  • Now, the two sectors are converging
  • tourism is enhancing its offering by including
    leisure activities to become more attractive,
  • leisure activities are creating tourism
    gateways by including lodging in the product
    mix
  • contract, shareholding, integration

14
The Project3.3 Market Overview
  • Vacations including more leisure activities
  • Brisk growth (6 to 15 annually)
  • 2nd and 3rd annual vacations (winter sports)
  • Short breaks through specific catalog offerings
  • Vacations with a sports or cultural focus
  • all-included vacations (including leisure
    activities) 15 to 20 of customers
  • Moderate growth (3 to 5 annually)
  • Main vacations (85 in the summer)
  • Basic packages transportation lodging
  • Source HSBC European travel agents

15
The Project3.3 Market Overview
  • Some leisure operators team up with lodging
    providers to build
  • A complete product
  • Distributable through conventional outlets
    (travel agencies, Internet)
  • Including next-day return visits
  • Creating a customer relationship (return trip)
  • Some leisure operators perform their own tour
    operator functions
  • Disney, Futuroscope destination
  • Exemple leisure products becoming
    tourismproducts
  • Price for a two-day park pass 1 night including
    transportation for 2 adults and 1 child
  • Disney 661
  • Futuroscope 307
  • source lEcho touristique

16
The Project3.3 Market Overview
  • In the leisure business, fragmentation of
    operators is the rule
  • 95 of ski areas are independent
  • 85 of leisure parks are independent
  • In tourism, concentration is nearly completed
  • Package operators 6 leaders in Europe hold 75
    of package holidays
  • (Sales Euro 42 billion)
  • Hotel-Leisure the ten leading hotel chains own
    over 50 of all rooms
  • (Sales 22 billion euros)
  • The major players in the tourism trade, now
    specialized in vacation reservations, and
    logistics have the financial means to consolidate
    the leisure industry.
  • THIS IS WHY IT IS ESSENTIAL TO REACH EUROPEAN
    SCALE QUICKLY

17
The Project
  • SUCCESS IN THE LEISURE INDUSTRY MEANS GROWING AND
    FEDERATING
  • TWO COMPLEMENARY LINES OF LEISURE ACTIVITIES,
  • BRINGING TOGETHER
  • An operator in sporting holidays, particularly
    winter resorts
  • and
  • An operator in family leisure activities, usually
    located on the periphery of urban areas, and
    generally open in the summer

    signs, shuttles, managing waiting lines, safety
    and security,

22
Strategic interests 4.3 Synergies

    visitors

    in its industry and they take much time to
    finalize
  • Some of CDAs financial resources could be used
    to accelerate the pace of development at Grévin
  • Common MA teams
  • Greater borrowing capacity and on better terms
    (CDAs spread is 100 b.p. less than Grévins
  • Seasonal cash positions balance each other
