Vola.ro implineste 5 ani de activitate
Vola.ro intra pe piata din Ucraina prin lansarea portalului Avio.ua, marcand totodata cinci ani de activitate
Cea mai mare agentie online de turism din Romania, Vola.ro, implineste 5 ani de activitate şi se lanseaza pe piata din Ucraina cu subsidiara sa, Avio.ua.
Ucraina este cea de-a treia piata europeana pe care compania activeaza, aceasta fiind prezenta si in Polonia prin portalul-sora Fru.pl, agentia online cu cea mai mare crestere si locul 2 pe piata poloneza de profil.
« Anul acesta punctam 5 ani de prezenta si crestere continua pe pietele cheie pe care activam -Romania si Polonia, prin extinderea noastra regionala. Ucraina reprezinta o piata importanta, cu potential seminificativ de crestere a sectorului de travel. Lansarea Avio.ua este pentru noi si un mod a sonda oportunitatea extinderii in viitor pe cea mai mare piata din regiune – Rusia », a declarat Daniel Truica, Managing Partner Vola.ro.
Noul portal de turism Avio.ua a fost lansat pe 19 aprilie 2012 si functioneaza pe acelasi tip de platforma tehnologica performanta pe care se bazeaza si Vola.ro sau Fru.pl. Clientii vor putea achizitiona online produse precum bilete de avion, rezervari la hotel sau asigurari de calatorie. Sediul noii subsidiare este la Kiev, insa o parte din activitatea de call-center va fi gestionata din Varsovia.
Cinci ani de crestere Vola.ro
Un start-up infiintat in 2007, sub auspiciile crizei economice mondiale, Vola.ro a reusit sa se adapteze trendurilor pietei de profil si sa raspunda unei cereri crescande din partea clientilor pentru serviciile online de turism. Migrarea pietei din offline catre web, precum si schimbarea obiceiurilor de consum turistic prin predominanta crescanda a vacantelor mai dese si mai scurte, au reprezentat factori decisivi in cresterea masiva a business-ului Vola.ro. Astfel, cifra de afaceri a companiei a atins un maxim istoric in 2011, de peste 15 milioane de euro, iar echipa s-a extins in timp la peste 50 de persoane.
