UTRECHT, Netherlands, August 16 /PRNewswire/ -- The EURAIL GROUP G.I.E. will take on the management of the Inter Rail pass products from 01 April 2007. This was decided during the Eurail Full Assembly and Board meetings held in Stockholm from June 20-21st by the main European railway carriers.

The proposed full integration of the current Inter Rail activities within the Eurail organisation was one of the main items on the agenda. It will create a single, unique, international Rail pass organisation dedicated to the Management, Marketing and Development for rail pass products both inside and outside of Europe.

The integration opens up a whole new spectrum of opportunities according to Mr. Rene de Groot, Managing Director of the Eurail Group G.I.E:

" The Inter Rail and Eurail products perfectly complement each other", he said. "Both offer excellent value for money combined with maximum flexibility to discover the wonders of Europe. While Inter Rail is primarily aimed at European citizens, Eurail is aimed at non-Europeans".

"Both are existing and successful products in their own right who will continue to be branded separately. This integration will allow Eurail Group G.I.E. to take the best elements of each product and introduce new passes and services in the future that will appeal not only to a larger audience but will also make travelling by train in Europe even more exciting", de Groot said.
