Diversity and competence in tourism

At the international tourism trade fair ITB in Berlin, the DERTOUR Group shared its current perspective on developments in the European travel market and presented the latest booking trends. As an international travel group operating in 16 European with approximately 200 companies, the DERTOUR Group is a key player in the European tourism and travel experiences market. Christoph Debus, CEO DERTOUR Group, emphasized the company’s strategic focus on sustainable growth and guest experiences.

As everyday life becomes faster, more digital, and less predictable, European travellers are seeking clarity and mental recuperation, and they expect that feeling to guide their journey from the moment they begin planning their holidays until they return home. This is the core message of the DERTOUR Group’s first European Travel Trend Report, released today. This report is based on a survey conducted among 8,000 participants across 13 European countries.

DERTOUR Hotels & Resorts (DTHR) is continuing its growth path. In 2026, the hotel division of the DERTOUR Group will expand its portfolio with seven new properties in popular destinations across the Mediterranean. In addition, two new HENRI Hotels will open in Germany through the company’s majority stake in DSR Hotel Holding.

With this expansion, DERTOUR Hotels & Resorts is strengthening the strategic positioning of its brands, from lifestyle concepts such as ananea, classic beach resorts to family-focused offerings and boutique city hotels.
