Spa Terme Čateľ forecasts it will finish the year with record revenues of EUR 21.1m, which represents a 10% increase over 2002. Gross profits are meanwhile expected to amount to almost EUR 3.38m. As the company stated in its press release, the spa's six hotels recorded a little less than 530,000 stays in the year to December. While the number of domestic guests has increased by 4%, that of some foreign guests, notably Italians, has jumped by around 25% over the same period last year. Slovenia's biggest spa resort operator has also made major advances on several new markets this year, as the number of tourists from Scandinavian countries went up by 64%, from Russia by 66% and from Serbia-Montenegro by 62%.
