About us

With the DMC headquarters steering all business activities mainly from Germany (Cologne and Frankfurt), further offices in Spain (Palma de Mallorca) and Switzerland (Wilen b. Wollerau) support with truly international teams, underlining our claim as a global player.
Our network of 21 destination management companies (DMCs) currently encompasses around 1,700 employees and 71 offices in 31 destinations worldwide. 4 million guests a year avail themselves of the services we provide.

From hotel reservations, to transfers, bookings or other services such as excursions and cultural visits on site, our guests can rely on the DERTOUR Group as a solid partner for their travel arrangements.

We are pleased to offer a comprehensive range of services, from classic package tours to specialised providers and tailor-made arrangements. Our portfolio includes group and round trips, tours and excursions, as well as MICE packages.

We welcome guests from all over the world, with the majority travelling from Continental Europe, Northern Europe, and the UK. When they go on vacation, we are there to look after them. In addition to our on-site customer support teams, we have built well-established local partnerships to selected hotels and suppliers, to complement us in delivering excellent services for our clients.

Our portfolio spans the entire globe, from America to Europe, Africa and South East Asia. This, as well as our relationships, alliances and connections bundled into the DMC Network as one global partner, under a single roof, is our key to success!
