Brazilian airline reports growth in online sales
Those considering property investment in Brazil may be pleased to learn that Gol has announced growth in its online sales during 2007.
According to the Brazilian airline, the number of sales it clinched over the internet during 2007 increased by 15 percent.
Overall, it recorded around $4.3 billion (£2.15 billion) in gross ticket sales through its website, which accounted for 80 per cent of the firm’s total sales during 2007.
Tarcisio Gargioni, vice-president of marketing and services at Gol, said: "Double-digit growth in online ticket sales is a boost to customers and travel agencies looking to simplify the purchasing process and reduce costs."
Gross operating revenues from passengers flown in 2007 totalled $4.7 billion (£2.35 billion) while total net operating revenues were around $5 billion (£2.5 billion).
Airline officials say that Gol’s online ticket purchasing function has "simplified" the travel process for passengers and provided travel agencies with access to new markets in the nation.
Improved accessibility to Brazil may be good news for property owners in the nation, as it may encourage holidaymakers to take a vacation in the country.
