Editorial
Editorial on behalf of the management
Eurotours International has been at home in the new, modern company headquarters since 2009. During this time the so-called “MS
Eurotours” ship has mastered many a storm. Neither global nor national crises were able to put it off course. In keeping with its motto
“full steam ahead into a successful future” the company was able to continue its journey with only a slight correction to its course.
Around 1.2 million contented holidaymakers per year, more than 800 business partners from 59 countries and more than 1000 hotel
partners and 3000 further suppliers are proof of this success.
The fact that this positive development is also possible in economically difficult times is above all due to the solid basis upon which the
company is built. More than three decades of stable and continuous development have made Eurotours Austria’s largest tour operator
in direct sales and the largest incoming agency in Central Europe. This is only possible with a team of highly motivated and dedicated
employees, who together take care of the clients’ requests.
Why was such a large “ship” and not an oversized alpine chalet built in Kitzbühel of all places, the very heart of the Alps? That is also
a reflection of Eurotours’ stongpoints: imagination and innovation. Which is why the company tries to offer something special for the
best weeks of the year, whether it be additional services during a holiday in one of the traditional resorts, or extraordinary trips to the
most distant countries of the world. The company has also set new standards in sales and distribution. There was great interest and
excitement in 2003 when the first holidays went on sale via a food discounter. Today this concept is taken for granted and is used by
more and more holidaymakers.
In 2011 a total of 50 new employees were taken on to cope with the increase in business and the management was also extended.
Two competent colleagues, COO Helga Freund and CFO Martin Winkler MBA, now support Dipl.-Ing. Hans-Dieter Toth, the founder
and CEO of Eurotours.

Tour operator
The finder of creative distribution channels…
The selling of holidays via distribution channels other than through a classic travel agency is a concept which has since become fully
accepted by guests. Such a cooperation is particularly interesting for partners who are otherwise not involved in the travel business.
“Travel” has a positive connotation for most people, which in turn has a long-term positive effect on the image of the provider.
Eurotours is not just a classic incoming agency but also acts as a tour operator in cooperation with trade unions, banks, insurance and
commercial companies. Eurotours is responsible for the complete travel arrangements – from the contracting of the services to the final
accounting.
In the past few years Eurotours has grown to become one of the largest tour operators in direct sales in Central Europe (710 000 passengers in 2011).
Why Eurotours?
Partners from non-tourism branches may have access to the end consumer, lack however the expertise in selling the product “travel”.
Eurotours offers:
• a team of experienced tourism professionals with special know-how in this area of business
• modern software technology which has been specially developed in-house
• constant monitoring of the quality of the services
• highest standards of quality in the operation

Tour operator
…from Austria to Slovenia!
Austria
In an exclusive cooperation with Hofer KG, the largest food discounter in Austria, Eurotours has been very successfully selling holidays
in Austria under the brand name of “Hofer-Reisen” since the end of 2003.
www.hofer-reisen.at.
Switzerland
The tour operating business began in Switzerland in 2007 with “ALDI SUISSE TOURS”. Through the cooperation with ALDI SUISSE
TOURS Eurotours has grown to become one of the largest tour operators in direct sales in Switzerland. In order to cope with the high
increase in demand, Eurotours is constantly looking for further partners in the field of hotel accommodation, restaurants, travel and
event management. All of the ALDI SUISSE TOURS offers are characterized by an excellent price-performance ratio.
www.aldi-suisse-tours.ch
Germany
Following Hofer Reisen in Austria and ALDI SUISSE TOURS in Switzerland, Eurotours has also been supplying Aldi Deutschland with
travel products since 2009. The cooperation profits above all from Eurotours’ vast amount of know-how in tourism in the Alps; Eurotours boosts the Aldi Reisen Deutschland range of offers with great products, in particular from this area.
www.aldi-reisen.de
Italy
At the start of 2009 the company also founded its own tour operator in Italy, Eurotours Italia S.r.l.. Like its parent company in Kitzbühel,
Eurotours Italia S.r.l. covers all forms of organized travel. The offer ranges from individual travel in all price categories in both the cities
and resorts, to group travel, incentives and conventions. Hotels, flights, transfers, ferries, cruises or complete packages are included.
Eurotours Italia S.r.l. is the perfect “one-stop shop” on the quite small-scale Italian travel market, covering all travel requirements.

Tour operator
Poland
In the first half of 2009 Eurotours began its tour operating activities on the Polish market with Eurotours Polska.
Slovenia
A further subsidiary was founded in autumn 2010, Eurotours Potovanja. New clients and partners in southeast Europe are constantly
being acquired by the office in Ljubljana. For example, Eurotours could start a cooperation with the largest daily newspaper in the
country, “Zurnal” (www.zurnal24.si/popotnik), as well as the mineral oil company “Petrol” (www.petrol-travel.si).
www.eurotours.si
Tchibo
In 2011 Eurotours started a new and extensive partnership with Tchibo-Reisen. Eurotours is now the exclusive supplier for Tchibo of
all products in the Austrian and Swiss destinations. In addition Eurotours also provides tours for further Tchibo marketing activities.
The offers can be found in all of the more than 1000 Tchibo shops in Germany, Austria and Switzerland and are also marketed online.

Eurotours International From a two-person company to the largest incoming agency in Central Europe in 32 years.
Good quality at every level
Kitzbühel: Eurotours International
is the largest incoming agency and
one of the largest tour operators in
direct sales in Central Europe. The
company, the headquarters of which
are situated in Kitzbühel, is a member
of the Verkehrsbüro Group, Austria’s
leading enterprise in the field of tourism. In the past 21 years Eurotours
has produced a turnover of 2.1 billion
Euros, has handled holidays for a total of 12 million guests and generated
around 60 million overnights. 300
highly qualified experts in tourism at
Eurotours take care of the marketing
of the products in Austria and the
surrounding countries. Eurotours
business partners are more than 800
customers in 59 countries, more
than 1000 hotels and 3000 further
suppliers.
In Europe’s “500” Club
Hans-Dieter Toth founded Eurotours
in 1980. Within three decades he has
succeeded in turning the company
into the largest incoming agency in
Central Europe and one of the largest
tour operators in Austria in direct
sales. In Germany, the home of the
largest travel companies in Europe,
Eurotours would rank amongst the
top twelve companies according to
the amount of turnover and even in
sixth place according to the number

Eurotours CEO Hans-Dieter Toth
And the TRIGOS 2012
goes to…
In the category for the place of
work, Eurotours International won
the TRIGOS, an award for “responsible companies”. The company’s
extensive and workplace- friendly
measures were the decisive factor
behind this victory.
On 24 May Eurotours International, the largest tour operator in
direct sales in Austria, received the
TRIGOS Tyrol, an award for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR).
The head of human resources at
Eurotours, Dr Uwe Perschl, is delighted about the recognition of the
company’s long-term personnel policy. “For us it is not only individual
measures in the workplace which
are important, but we have put together a reasonable, acceptable and
family-friendly package”. Only in
this way is it possible to keep qualified employees, for whom both
family and job are essentially important, in the company for a long
period of time. Both sides benefit
from the ideal working conditions;
the more motivated and content
the employees are, the greater the
reduction in stress, which is directly reflected in the quality of the
work. The good working conditions
at Eurotours are also reflected in
the minimal amount of sick leave,
on average 3.4 days a year, while
the average in Austria lies around
12 days per year. “This means we
also have better chances of attracting qualified staff on the local employment market”, Perschl explains
further.
nized travel: individual and group
travel, as well as incentives and conventions. Furthermore Eurotours is
one of the largest tour operators in
direct sales in Central Europe and
sends guests from Austria, Germany, Italy, Poland, Switzerland and
Slovenia to the most attractive holiday destinations around the globe.
“Quality need not be expensive.
Quality can be offered at every level, on a campsite just as much as in
a luxury hotel”, is one of Eurotours
CEO Toth’s maxims. “Whoever recognizes the needs of the client can
set trends themselves, instead of
just chasing after them”.
As the sole company in tourism in
Austria, in 1998 Eurotours became
a member of the exclusive “Europe’s
500”, a club initiated by the EU,
to which only the most dynamic
companies in the whole of Europe
belong.
