How people travel, what advice they want and how they book is constantly changing and varies greatly from country to country.

To ensure that the various business divisions within our Group can cooperate to the best possible extent, DERTOUR Group is structurally divided into five units: Central Europe, Northern Europe, Eastern Europe, the Destination Management Companies (DMC) and Hotels & Resorts.
As an international travel group, we benefit from the intensive cooperation and strong network within our group.
Shared values and principles determine our daily actions as well as the highest quality standards.
As a strong group, we take responsibility and always put the safety of our guests first – no matter where they travel with us.
