  • In the first nine months of this year, Arena Hospitality Group achieved growth with record high consolidated revenues of EUR 125.4 million, which is an increase of EUR 12.6 million (11.2%) on an annual basis, as a result of the continued gradual improvement of operations in all operational regions. Operating profit before depreciation and amortization (EBITDA) is EUR 39.4 million compared to EUR 35.0 million in the same period last year, which is an increase of 13%. The excellent financial results were primarily contributed by the strong results achieved in Croatia during the summer, the continuous growth of income in the city portfolio in Germany and the CEE region together with cost optimization. "Business until the end of the year will be in line with our expectations in all our operating regions. The fourth quarter of the year is usually a strong quarter in Germany and Hungary, as well as in the capitals of Croatia and Serbia, while most Croatian facilities on the Adriatic are closing. The winter season for our hotel in Austria starts at the beginning of December. Given the current economic climate, the Group plans to preserve and improve liquidity, but remains committed to raising the standard of the hotel and camping portfolio through regular investment projects and rebranding to maximize opportunities, prepare for investment in all regions and explore new growth opportunities with high potential in Croatia and Central and Eastern Europe" - says Mr Reli Slonim, CEO of Arena Hospitality Group The published report presents the consolidated results of Arena Hospitality Group and subsidiaries in all countries in which it operates, i.e. in Croatia, Germany, Hungary, Serbia and Austria as a group and the individual results of operations of Arena Hospitality Group.

  • Yesterday, the General Hospital in Pula celebrated the handover of the donation of a heated crib for newborns. The funds for this donation were raised during the Rocks&Stars @Cave Romane Festival, with the support of Arena Hospitality Group and partners.

We are very pleased to have had the opportunity to support the General Hospital in Pula by donating a heated crib to the pediatric department.
