Eurail Group G.I.E., the organization dedicated to the marketing and management of the Eurail Passes, reports very positive year end sales results for 2010. Last year the number of Eurail Passengers grew by 11.9% compared to 2009, with a grand total of 427,000.

Sales for all Eurail Passes grew significantly during 2010, with the vast majority of Global sales regions performing very well. August was a record month, reflecting the global increase in travelers’ confidence with a high number of last minute bookings. Sales in the Pacific area increased by 27% compared to 2009, Asia by 20% and South America by a staggering 33%. Despite the effects of a still challenging economy in the United States and Canada, the sales remained at the same level as in 2009. Upcoming economic markets such as Brazil, India and China are increasingly responsible for the continued growth and popularity of Eurail Pass travel.  

According to Eurail Group’s Managing Director, Mr. René de Groot, the positive results in 2010 exceeded the original targets. “By the end of June 2010 we could already see travelers’ confidence returning through rapidly increased booking numbers,” he said.
