The balance of travel services recorded a surplus of 409.6 million euros (US$465 million) in March, up from 172.8 million euros in the same month last year. For the January-March period, the surplus widened to 928.4 million euros from 352.6 million euros a year earlier.
Travel receipts climbed 55.6% year-on-year in March to 669.4 million euros, while travel payments edged up 0.9% to 259.8 million euros. In the first three months of the year, receipts increased 64.3% to 1.68 billion euros, as payments rose 12% to 747.7 million euros.
