Accounts filed by Center Parcs Ireland Ltd show that the Co Longford resort’s revenues increased almost sixfold to €57.8 million from €10.8 million in the 12 months to April 21st this year.
The accounts, signed off in July, said that “demand for a Center Parcs break remains strong, and current forecasts assume occupancy levels higher than those seen before Covid-19″.
A majority of the company’s employees were furloughed for part of the year and the company received State Covid-19 wage supports totalling €1.4 million.
Guests affected by Covid-enforced closures were incentivised to change the date of their break rather than cancel and receive a full refund. During the lockdown more than 50% of affected guests took the option of moving their break.
