Travelplan has pulled off what looked like an impossible climb: closing 2025 with a net profit after five consecutive years of losses. That is according to Preferente, citing data filed with the Mercantile Registry.

The historic tour operatorTour operatorA tour operator is the company that bundles flight, hotel and transfers into a single organised trip and sells it, usually through travel agencies. It buys in bulk and in advance, which gives it price but loads it wit... had been in the red ever since it moved from Globalia to Barceló (Ávoris). A full half-decade restructuring debt, resizing operations and, above all, fighting to regain the trust of travel agencies. That work, apparently, is starting to pay off.

My take: Travelplan swinging back to profit is not just good news for Ávoris. It is a sign that the traditional agency channel can compete if it gets costs right and sharpens the product. The question now is whether this rebound holds or is a mirage from an unusually strong year.
