Opening of Center Parcs Domaine des Bois aux Daims (France -
Vienne department)
On 29 June 2015, the Pierre & Vacances-Center Parcs Group
opened its fifth Center Parcs in France in the Vienne department.
Covering 264 hectares and with a focus on wildlife, the Domaine du
Bois aux Daims has 800 cottages, 80% of which were sold in blocks
to renowned institutional investors. As of the opening, the
occupancy rate stood at almost 100%.
Memorandum of Understanding with HNA Tourism Group
On 2 July 2015, HNA Tourism Group and the Pierre &
Vacances-Center Parcs Group signed a non-binding Memorandum of
Understanding aimed to form a strategic partnership to develop
mainly all-weather concepts of resorts inspired by Center Parcs in
China and other Asian markets, and potentially urban aparthotels,
senior residences and ski resorts projects in China.
HNA Tourism and PVCP will also explore potential cooperation to
offer Chinese travelers with tourism packages in PVCP residences
and resorts already located in Europe, or to be developed worldwide
in destinations where HNA Group will develop its own airlines
business.
Center Parcs project in the Isère department
(France)
Appeals against the prefectural decrees of October 2014,
authorising the project in terms of the Water Law and the Protected
Species Derogation were filed in November 2014.
On 23 December 2014, the Grenoble Administrative Tribunal gave
it’s ruling on the referred suspension requests : only the decree
relative to the Water Law was suspended, which led the Group to
appeal to the State Council.
On 18 June 2015, the State Council cancelled the ruling by the
court of First Instance of the Grenoble Administrative Court of 23
December concerning suspension of works relative to the water
law.
Today, the Grenoble Administrative Court has cancelled the
decree relative to the Water Law, only in view of the location of
compensatory measures. Center Parcs Roybon project has thus not
been undermined, with the Court recognising that the project is of
"an imperative and major public interest". The Group has decided to
appeal the decision, reassured by the economic and
environmental validity of the project and confident in the final
legal outcome, in reference to the State Council's decision on 18
June 2015.

Q3 2014/2015 tourism turnover stood at €272.9 million, up
2.2% relative to the year-earlier period.
Accommodation turnover rose 1.0% to €178.9 million, and
+3.1% adjusted for the stock effect (overall impact of -2.1% on
turnover). This performance mainly stemmed from the increase in net
average letting rates.
- Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe
contributed €86.2 million to accommodation turnover, up 3.8%
same-structure and higher than the levels reported in the previous
two quarters.
Turnover increased in all seaside, mountain and city
destinations, with considerable growth in business over the May
bank holiday weekends and healthy performances by the PV Premium
brand.
- Center Parcs Europe contributed €92.6
million, up 2.5% excluding the impact of the opening of the new
Domaine des Bois aux Daims, and benefiting from:
- a sharp rebound in business at the French Domains (turnover
growth of more than 5%), after the decline seen in Q2;
- an almost 1% increase in turnover at the Domains in BNG2.
Turnover from other tourism businesses continued to
increase (+4.4%) benefiting from:
- for Pierre & Vacances Tourisme
Europe, healthy performances of marketing mandates, especially in
Spain;
- for Center Parcs Europe, the growth of
animation activities.
- Property development
turnover
Q3 2014/2015 property development turnover stood at €41.9
million, mainly with the contributions from Center Parcs in the
Vienne (€10.8 million), Villages Nature (€7.4 million), and Les
Senioriales (€14.3 million).
Property reservations recorded to date with individual
investors over FY 2015 correspond to around 100 units a month, a
similar pace to that noted during the year-earlier period.
3] Outlook
Tourism:
Tourism reservations to date for Q4 2014/15 show an
increase relative to the year-earlier period:
- Adjusted for negative stock effects
(which are set to impact turnover over the summer by -3.5%),
turnover to date at Pierre & Vacances Tourisme Europe has
increased, driven by seaside destinations.
- Center Parcs Europe is benefiting from
the contribution of the new Center Parcs du Domaine des Bois aux
Daims. Reservations to date for all of the other domains have
increased.
In view of the portfolio of reservations to date and turnover in
previous quarters, the Group is forecasting growth in full-year
2014/2015 turnover.
Property development:
The Group confirms that it is expecting full-year 2014/2015
property development turnover close to the level of the previous
year.
