During Q2 2023/2024, the Group accelerated growth in its business with a revenue increase of 11.8% (+5.9% in Q1), bringing revenue from the tourism businesses to €767.5 million for the first half as a whole (+8.9%).
Growth in revenue was driven by the rise in average letting rates (+5.7%) and the number of nights sold (+2.7%). The occupancy rate was up by 0.8 points to 70.1% over the period (vs. 69.3% in H1 2022/2023). RevPar4 was up 7.2% compared with H1 2022/2023.
All brands contributed to the increase in revenue:
Growth was driven by the Domains in the BNG5 region and was boosted by a rise in average letting rates (+7.5%) thanks to the premiumisation strategy and park renovation works, and by a rise in the number of nights sold (+1.6%).
Business at the French Domains was penalised by the partial unavailability of cottages at Domaine des Hauts de Bruyères and Domaine des Bois Francs, which were being renovated during the first half.
The occupancy rate was down by 0.8 points to 71.2% over the period. RevPar was up 6.4%.

5 Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany

Revenue at the brand was higher in both France and Spain.
All destinations combined, the P&V brand recorded growth in the occupancy rate of 6.2 points to 67.4%.
Average letting rates were stable over H1 (-0.3%), due in particular to a less favourable mix effect (high growth in revenue from seaside destinations (+15.1%), with lower average prices than mountain sites).
RevPar was up 11.4%.
Aparthotel revenue rose by 5.7% in the first half, driven by a 6.5% increase in average letting rates. The occupancy rate fell by 2.6 points to 70.8% (significant base effect with an occupancy rate up 8 points in the first half of 2022/2023 following the rebound in post-Covid activity). RevPar was up +3.0%.
Supplementary income7 :
H1 supplementary income totalled €170.2 million, up 10.0% relative to H1 of the previous year, driven by higher onsite sales (+13.0%) reflecting our strategy to enrich the offer as well as growth in the maeva.com management and distribution business (+15.3% over the half-year period).
H1 2023/2024 revenue from other businesses totalled €54.7 million compared with €104.1 million in H1 2022/2023 (decline with no significant impact on EBITDA), primarily made up of:

7 Revenue from onsite activities (catering, animation, stores, services etc.), co-ownership and multi-owner fees and management mandates, marketing margins and revenue generated by the maeva.com business line.

On 28 December 2023, the Group completed the disposal of its businesses operated by lease for 29 Senioriales residences to the ACAPACE Group, shareholder of the brands Jardins d'Arcadie (residences for the elderly) and Sandaya (open-air hotels). ACAPACE's takeover of this perimeter is effective from January 1, 2024.
The Group expects full-year revenue growth in line with its targets and is confident in a sharp increase in operating profitability, driven especially by strict execution of the Reinvention plan.
First half earnings for 2023/2024 will be published on 29 May 2024 after the market close. They will be discussed at a Capital Markets Day on 30 May 2024. The Group will also announce its updated financial targets at this event.
Under IFRS accounting, revenue for the first half of 2023/2024 totalled €778.6 million, compared with €741.8m in H1 2022/2023, representing growth of 4.6% driven by the tourism businesses. Growth in revenue was driven by both the rise in average letting rates and the number of nights sold.

IFRS11 adjustments: for its operating 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 as of 1 October 2019 leads to the cancellation, in the financial statements, of a share of revenue and the capital gain for disposals undertaken under the framework of property operations with third-parties (given the Group's leasing contracts). See below for the impact on H1 revenue.
