INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW
We are living in a
world where volatility and uncertainty have become the New Normal. We saw
a change of government in countries like Tunisia, Egypt, Libya and Vietnam.
Once powerful countries in Europe are now fighting for bankruptcy. We have
taken growth in the developing part of the world for granted but economic
growth in China and India has begun to slow. Companies that were synonymous
with their product categories just a few years ago are now no longer in
existence. Kodak, the inventor of the digital camera had to wind up its
operations, HMV, the British entertainment retailing company and Borders, once
the second largest bookstore have shut down due to their inability to evolve
their business models with the changing time. Readers’ Digest, Thomson Register
are no more !
There is another
megatrend happening. The World order is changing as economic power shifts from
West to East. According to McKinsey study, it took Britain more than 100 years
to double its economic output per person during its industrial revolution and
the US later took more than 50 years to do the same. More than a century later,
China and India have doubled their GDP per capital in 12 and 18 years
respectively. By 2020, emerging Asia will become the world’s largest consuming
block, overtaking North America.
The years after the
outbreak of the global financial crisis, the world economy continues to remain
fragile. The Indian economy demonstrated remarkable resilience in the initial
years of the contagion but finally lost ground last year. GDP growth slowed
down. Currency has been weakening. There is a marked deceleration in
agriculture, industry and services. Dampening sentiment led to a cut-back in
investment as well as private consumption expenditure. Inflation remained
at high levels fuelled by the pressure from the food and fuel sectors. The
large fiscal and current account deficit s continued to cause grave concern. It
is imperative that India regains its growth trajectory of 8-9 % sooner than
later. This is crucially important given the need to create gainful livelihood
opportunities for the millions living in poverty as also the large contingent
of young people joining the job market every year.

COMPANY’S PERFORMANCE
This year was a satisfactory year for C&K Group, as the India business continued its stellar performance, and Holidaybreak Limited was successfully integrated into the C&K fold and FY’13 being the first full year since the acquisition in September 2011.
INDIA BUSINESS
C&K had another great year in the India business. C&K saw healthy growth in Outbound and Domestic travel, within both the leisure retail and corporate MICE category. C&K growth in the leisure retail business can be attributed to three factors – i) Increased penetration across Tier I cities and smaller towns owing to deeper distribution network ii) Increased market share for organized tour operators, as customers increasingly move away from the unorganized travel agency segment iii) Repeat business from existing customers as they travel more frequently than ever before. They are seeing a growing trend of customers taking multiple weekend breaks during the year, in addition to an annual holiday thus accelerating growth. Growth in corporate MICE business has been substantial, as a result of C&K investment into cementing strong relationships with several respected Indian corporate houses (both large and mid-sized).
DISTRIBUTION NETWORK:
Talking about the distribution network, C&K franchised network of stores currently reach more than 70 cities, tapping pent up demand for high quality holiday experience across international and domestic destinations at competitive prices. C&K in-house call centre network, manned by knowledgeable and trained staff, apart from assisting customers with their various information needs, is now getting better traction in converting phone and email enquiries into sales. The C&K web portal is wellequipped to provide comprehensive holiday information to customers, apart from the ability to book online if the customer chooses to. Strong distribution has helped C&K
expand their reach within the country.
This wide reach has also made C&K a preferred partner for various international and domestic tourism boards and other suppliers to promote newer destinations and holiday experience worldwide.

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION
AND ANALYSIS
INDUSTRY
Travel and Tourism (T&T) is one of the largest industries globally and contributes over 9% to the global GDP. The direct contribution of T&T in the year 2012 has been estimated at USD 2.06 trillion. Over the next ten years, it is forecasted to grow much faster than the global GDP, at an annual growth rate of 4.4% to USD 3.45 trillion. Its contribution to the global GDP is expected to increase from 9% to 10% in the year 2023.
During the year 2012, despite a tough global macroeconomic environment, global Travel and Tourism grew by a strong 3.2% in revenue while the tourism export grew by 4.7%. Asia was the fastest growing destination and origin market. The industry achieved a key landmark as the international tourist arrival crossed 1 billion.
The total number of international tourist arrival during the year was 1.035 billion against 0.996 billion in the year 2011. Over half of this was in European countries and nearly a quarter in the Asia Pacific region. The Company has a very strong presence in both the regions.
South East Asia and Central and Eastern Europe were one of the fastest growing regions during the year. Country wise, India saw the second fastest growth in International Tourist receipts at 22% just after Japan, which grew by
37% in 2012 after a sharp drop in the international tourist inflow post Tsunami in the year 2011.
Globally, USD 1.24 trillion is estimated to have been earned through visitor exports in the year 2012. It is expected to grow at 3.1% in the year 2013 to USD 1.28 trillion and at a CAGR of 4.2% to USD 1.9 trillion by the year 2023.
The global leisure travel spending during the year was USD 3.2 trillion and is expected to rise at a CAGR of 4.6%, to USD 5.2 trillion by the year 2023. It is estimated to grow by 3.2% in 2013 to reach USD 3.3 trillion. The total business travel spending during the year was USD 1.0 trillion and is expected to grow at a CAGR of 4.1% to USD 1.57 billion by the year 2023. It is estimated to grow by 3.1% in 2013 to reach USD1.05 trillion.
INDIA BUSINESS
They had another great year in the India business as revenues grew by 26% to INR 3722.700 millions and EBITDA grew by 29% to INR 1863.800 millions. They saw healthy growth in their Outbound and Domestic travel, within both the leisure retail and corporate MICE category. Their growth in the leisure retail business can be attributed to three factors – i) Increased penetration across Tier I cities and smaller towns owing to their deeper distribution network ii) Increased market share for organized tour operators, as customers increasingly move away from the unorganized travel agency segment iii) Repeat business from existing customers as they travel more frequently than ever before. Growth in corporate MICE business has been substantial, as a result of their investment into cementing strong relationships with several respected Indian corporate houses (both large and mid-sized). Growth in Inbound business was a bit muted this year. This is because the cost of premium hotels in popular tourist destinations such as Rajasthan and Kerala shot up during the key inbound season thereby making holidays into India for overseas customers very expensive this year, when compared with other destinations in Asia and beyond.
Talking about their distribution network, their franchised network of stores currently reach more than 100 town/ cities, tapping pent up demand for high-quality holiday experience across international and domestic destinations
at competitive prices. Their in-house call centre network, manned by knowledgeable and trained staff, apart from assisting customers with their various information needs, is now getting better traction in converting phone and email enquiries into sales. The Cox and Kings web portal is wellequipped to provide comprehensive holiday information to customers, apart from the ability to book online if the customer chooses to. Strong distribution has helped them expand their reach within the country. This wide reach has also made them a preferred partner for various international and domestic tourism boards and other suppliers to promote newer destinations and holiday experience, worldwide.
EDUCATION BUSINESS
It was another good year for their key education brands, viz. PGL and NST. Revenues grew by 9% to INR 4905.500 millions. EBITDA (including 100% Meininger) grew by 26% to INR 2857.500 millions. PGL further consolidated its market leadership position in the UK schools market, witnessing better than industry growth. They focused on consolidating their operations, to reduce costs, particularly during the lean business period from Oct-Mar. As part of that strategy, they closed two smaller centres, one each in UK and France, totaling 300 beds. They successfully moved the schools business of these two centres into other larger PGL centers nearby, thereby, reducing centre overheads costs without impacting bookings. Thereby, current PGL bed capacity stands at ~8900 beds across 23 centres (including 19 owned centres).
Meininger continued its rapid expansion in the European market. They opened two new hotels during the year – Berlin airport hotel and Amsterdam hotel, together ~1200 beds across 375 rooms. Apart from healthy first year revenues from the two new hotels in FY13, they witnessed growth through driving higher occupancies in existing bedstock. Their deepening ties with leading European student tour operators resulted in strong uptick from that segment. In addition, their popularity among youth travelers, looking forclean, affordable city-centre accommodation, has helped increase business, with bookings done through internet, phone or walk-ins. During the year, they closed down two smaller hotels in Berlin (~450 beds) and replaced it withthe signing of a larger 830 bed hotel in the same city. As Meininger gathers momentum in the European youth andstudent travel market and they are able to attract more traffic, they believe it makes imminent sense to operate larger hotels resulting in higher margins.
CAMPING BUSINESS
They had mixed results in their Camping business this year with revenues declining by 7% to INR 3205.700 millions and EBITDA growing by 13% to INR 1483.100 millions. The Jun- Aug period is the key camping holiday season in Europe (coinciding with school summer holidays). But, their customers in UK, which is the highest yielding market for the business, replaced their annual camping holiday with the London Olympics, a once-in-a-lifetime experience for most UK citizens. This resulted in a YoY decline in their revenues. They however softened the impact by controlling the employee and marketing expenses during the business season and the subsequent off-peak months.
OTHER INTERNATIONAL LEISURE BUSINESSES
Their International Leisure Businesses comprise of their European operations (through C&K UK outbound, Hotelbreaks, Explore soft adventure holidays and inbound operations through CKDMS), Australia, Dubai, US and Japan. Revenues grew by 6% to INR 6079.000 millions while EBITDA was similar to FY12
at INR 2080.300 millions. They managed a flattish FY13 performance in Europe, despite difficult economic conditions. For Explore, they consolidated their ground handling operations in key destinations with other C&K operations, driving better bargains to generate savings. Explore distribution in the Australian market saw encouraging offtake. During the year, C&K group leveraged on Superbreak’s strong supplier relationship in the UK market (~2000 hotels) to obtain better pricing for its leisure tours. They saw strong growth at their Dubai operations, benefitting from increased inbound business, driven by key C&K markets of India and Australia. In addition, the outbound business from Dubai is also seeing good traction, with impetus coming from their NRI customer base. Business in their Australian operations was soft through the year, achieving marginal growth. Their business in US grew well, driven by an expanded product portfolio of luxury FIT and Group Tour options. In addition, the shifting of their operational base from Tampa to Los Angeles has helped them tap a larger customer base. Their operations in Japan continued to face headwinds during the year. During the year, they concluded the sale of Djoser, their soft adventure holiday business in Netherlands. Djoser, a small-sized operation within the Holidaybreak business, was seeing a declining revenue trend in the face of tough business environment and insufficient synergy opportunities with Cox and Kings Group. The business was disposed off as the management time being spent far outweighed any future improvement in business prospects.
In addition to the Leisure, Education and Camping businesses discussed above, C&K also provides outsourced visa processing services to diplomatic missions around the world. During the year, they continued their investments into this business. New business operations during the year included Indian Embassy in Sweden and Italian Consulate in Dubai.
BUSINESS OUTLOOK FOR FY14
The total market for Packaged Holiday Sales in India reached INR 235 bn in 2011, growing at an annual rate of 8.4%, as per Euromonitor International report. They believe the organized sector grew at twice this pace. The Indian outbound segment is still quite a nascent market. As per Ministry of Tourism India statistics, total outbound departures from India in 2011 were 14.2 mn, with a significant percentage still being business travel or Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) trips. As per estimates, total outbound departures from India would reach 50 mn by 2020. Benefiting from this trend, they believe organized packaged holiday segment will continue its healthy growth over the medium-term.
They remain extremely bullish about their prospects in the Indian market for FY14 and further beyond. As several Indians take their first overseas holidays, clubbed with multiple domestic short-breaks over long weekendsduring the year, they are well-placed to benefit from this market expansion. They will continue to corner higher market share from the unorganized segment as customers demand superior holiday experience at affordable prices. They will also continue to grow their FIT holiday segment, designing customized holidays for the more seasoned travelers, offering them with the widest destinations choices achieved through their significant global sourcing platform. In addition, they are bullish about their prospects in the MICE business where they are taking market share from weaker and unorganized competition. They also expect a reduced working capital cycle in their corporaterelated business, due to shortening of the BSP cycle and promoting greater use of supplier purchase cards.
PGL, their Education residential outdoor centre brand for primary schools is well-placed to further consolidate its strong position among the UK private schools at the expense of weaker competition. PGL is also slowly stepping into the Public Schools market, currently catered by the Local Education Authorities (LEA), in an environment where the LEA are struggling to allocate adequate funds for the 200+ centres they operate across UK. They are very excited about their future prospects as this trend plays out over the next few years.
They completed the acquisition of the remaining 26% tranche in Meininger in April 2014 and will consolidate its full financials from FY14. Coinciding with that, they also opened their newest 720 bed hotel in Brussels on 1st May, taking the total capacity to 7340 beds across 16 hotels. They expect strong growth in this business, as they remain well placed as a prominent brand to cater to a robust student travel demand in Europe, apart from being a popular choice destination for young urban travelers.
The Camping brands of Eurocamp and Keycamp has already registered strong forward bookings visible for the 2014 season across their 8300 accommodation homes (including 7000 mobile homes). They will this year see growth from their highest yielding market of UK where they are the clear market leaders offering premium camping experience. This also clearly validates their belief that the revenue decline in FY13 could be attributed to exceptional conditions triggered by Olympics.
Within their international leisure operations, they are witnessing strong advance booking trends at “Superbreak”, a trend not seen for the last several years. Superbreak has begun to see the results of integration with C&K executed through FY13. Superbreak’s enhanced product portfolio (packaged holidays to UK and other European destinations) and a refreshed IT platform, achieved through synergies with C&K group operations, has contributed dramatically to this turnaround. Their premium Outbound tour operator business in UK continues to focus on expansion in its core product areas for growth; through expansion of the range and style of holiday types on offer. They expect to see strong growth in their Dubai driven by both inbound and outbound, business. Their outlook for US operationsis positive with increased distribution of the Cox and Kings “Small Group Tours” business. Travel bookings in Australia are encouraging and they expect growth to be better than FY13, particularly travel to Europe.
BUSINESS OVERVIEW
They are an international travel and tours Company with operations in 26 countries around the globe, present in the Leisure holidays, Education travel and Camping holidays business through multiple brands. Their brand “Cox and Kings”, which has evolved over a period of more than 250 years, is one of the oldest, and they believe, one of the most recognized, names in the travel and tourism industry
