"With every passing quarter, the success of our business model pivot becomes increasingly evident. As we commemorate 25 years of our flagship brand eDreams this year, we celebrate our strategic transition, from a leading online travel agency to a fast-growing global subscription business with vast opportunities ahead. With the majority of profits and revenues now coming from subscribers, it is clear that we have evolved beyond the confines of a traditional travel company.

With 64% of our journey now completed, we're delighted to announce that we're firmly on course in meeting our self-set targets, testament to the continued success of our subscription model and strategic approach".
