Back to black for All Leisure

Sunday, 26 Jan, 2012 0

Cruise and tour operator All Leisure Group increased its operating profit by £300,000 to £3.4m last year.

Its full year profit for the year ended October 31 was £5.7m, which compared to a loss of £2.1m in 2010.

Underlying operating profit was £2.6m, compared to £2m the previous year.

Chairman Roger Allard said it was a "reasonable performance" given the backdrop of unprecedented natural disasters, geo-political events and challenging market conditions including reduced discretionary spending, persistent low interest rates and increased oil prices.

He said the group’s strategy going forward was to grow by exploiting the increasing demand for destination-led cruise holidays, targeting the over-55, English-speaking market.
