Press release FTI Group

Companies of the fti group file for insolvency.

FTI Touristik GmbH files for insolvency on Monday, 3 June 2024 +++ Other Group companies will also file for insolvency in the coming days +++ The FTI GROUP does not include the TV channel sonnenklar.TV and TVG with its franchise German travel agencies, which are operated under the brands sonnenklar.TV, 5vorFlug and Flugbörse +++ A support hotline for direct contact and a website with FAQs have been set up for all customers of the tour operator group

Munich, 3 June 2024 – FTI Touristik GmbH, the parent company of the FTI GROUP as the third largest tour operator in Europe, will file an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings at the Munich Local Court on Monday, 3 June 2024. Initially, only the tour operator brand FTI Touristik is directly affected by this. Subsequently, however, corresponding applications will also be filed for other Group companies. Windrose Finest Travel GmbH with the luxury brand WINDROSE will continue its business.

The independent companies Euvia Travel GmbH and its travel shopping channel sonnenklar.TV as well as the franchise system of Touristik Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH (TVG) with its brands sonnenklar.TV Reisebüros, 5vorFlug Reisebüros and Flugbörse do not belong to the FTI GROUP.

After a lengthy and complex investor process, the entry of a consortium of investors was announced in April 2024. Since then, however, booking figures have fallen well short of expectations despite the positive news. In addition, numerous suppliers have insisted on advance payment. As a result, there was an increased need for liquidity, which could no longer be bridged until the closing of the investor process. The filing for insolvency has therefore become necessary for legal reasons.

Information for customers of the FTI GROUP

Supporting travelers affected by the consequences of the insolvency is now a top priority for the FTI GROUP. A support website has already been set up at www.fti-group.com/en/insolvency as well as a support hotline at +49 (0) 89 / 710 45 14 98. All relevant information can be accessed here and German- and English-speaking contact persons are available for individual questions. In addition to the full focus on customer support, the FTI GROUP will also keep its guests regularly informed together with the German Travel Security Fund (DRSF).

We are currently working hard to ensure that trips that have already started can be completed as planned. Trips that have not yet begun will probably no longer be possible or only partially possible from Tuesday, 4 June 2024. In cooperation with the (provisional) insolvency administrator yet to be appointed, a concept for the ongoing information of affected travelers and the operational implementation of the necessary measures will be developed in the coming days.

About the FTI GROUP With its numerous brands and subsidiaries, the FTI GROUP is the third largest tour operator in Europe. It includes FTI Touristik as well as the short-term tour operator 5vorFlug, the car rental broker Drive FTI, the destination management company Meeting Point International, which is active in over 40 locations worldwide, and the tour operator for promotional goods BigXtra. Under the umbrella of the hospitality company MP Hotels, the company bundles its hotel brands Labranda Hotels & Resorts and Design Plus Hotels, Kairaba Hotels & Resorts, Lemon & Soul Hotels, Club Sei and Managed by MP Hotels. TVG Touristik Vertriebsgesellschaft mbH combines the franchise systems with the brands sonnenklar.TV Reisebüro, 5vorFlug and Flugbörse. Around 10,000 partner agencies sell FTI products throughout Germany. The TV travel shopping channel sonnenklar.TV, an FTI GROUP partner, and the online B2B provider for accommodation Youtravel are also important sales channels. The consolidator FTI Ticketshop is responsible for the sale of scheduled flight tickets. In Austria, FTI Touristik is represented by a branch in Linz. The subsidiary FTI Touristik AG, based in Basel, represents the tour operator in Switzerland. The French tour operator FTI Voyages has been part of the FTI GROUP since 2012. With FTI Reizen, the group has also been active in the Netherlands since 2016. The seven service centres handle numerous bookings for the FTI GROUP and external customers. Headquartered in Munich, the Group employs over 11,000 people worldwide and generated consolidated sales of around € 4.1 billion in the 2022/23 financial year.

Tourism Ministry offers assurances over bankrupt German tour operator

Greece is doing everything in its power to assure the return of foreign travelers who came to the country with tour operator FTI, the Tourism Ministry said on Monday, hours after the German firm filed for bankruptcy.

Regular meetings are already under way at the Greek National Tourism Organization (GNTO) office in Germany, while in Athens, the ministry is in close communication with all involved parties, it said.

The number of foreign visitors who are in Greece with FTI is estimated at 7,500. According to reliable information, the ministry will help them get back home without interrupting their holiday plans.

The hotel owners hosting these visitors will cover the costs of their transfers to Greek airports. The German tour operator’s bankruptcy does not inflict financial damage on the hotel owners who collaborated with FTI, as the hotels have been prepaid for the arrivals of their customers so far.

It is worth noting that there are approximately 300 hotels in Greece owed a total of about 1.8 million euros by FTI from 2023. [AMNA]

German tour operator FTI is filing for insolvency and canceling future trips

BERLIN (AP) — German tour operator FTI said Monday that it is filing for insolvency protection from creditors, and trips that haven’t yet started will be canceled or scaled back.

FTI Group, which describes itself as Europe’s third-biggest tour operator, said parent company FTI Touristik GmbH, was filing an application for the opening of insolvency proceedings at a Munich court.

Since an announcement in April that a consortium of investors would come on board, “booking figures have fallen well short of expectations despite the positive news,” the company said in a statement.

“In addition, numerous suppliers have insisted on advance payment,” it added. “As a result, there was an increased need for liquidity, which could no longer be bridged until the closing of the investor process,” making the insolvency filing a legal necessity.

Why Online Booking Engine Software is a 'Must-Have' for Tour Operators

A modern online booking system is essential for tour operators and other travel companies looking to remain competitive and relevant nowadays. Here are the 10 specific reasons to start looking for own booking engine software as soon as possible.

Munich/Germany - June 5, 2024 —

In the modern travel industry, the implementation of an online booking system has become essential for tour operators aiming to remain competitive and relevant. Research by Think with Google reveals that mobile phones have become an essential tool for various travel-related activities. Despite the evident benefits, a significant portion of tour operators, about 30%, have yet to adopt this technology. This delay in adoption could lead to missed opportunities and competitive disadvantages in an increasingly digital world. 

Here are 10 reasons why these booking engine platforms are a game changer for businesses of all kinds:

1. Increase Direct Bookings

One of the primary advantages of an online booking engine software is the substantial increase in direct bookings. Unlike traditional methods that limit booking opportunities to business hours, an online system allows customers to make reservations at any time of day, regardless of time zone differences. This 24/7 availability means that potential clients are not restricted by the operator's working hours, which can lead to a higher number of bookings. Customers appreciate the convenience of being able to book tours at their leisure, whether it's late at night or early in the morning, without the need for direct interaction with staff. This not only enhances customer satisfaction but also boosts the likelihood of spontaneous bookings.

2. Enhance Walk-in Customer Service

Handling reservations online significantly improves the quality of service provided to walk-in customers. When staff are not preoccupied with taking bookings over the phone or through emails, they can devote more time and attention to those who visit in person. This face-to-face interaction is crucial in the hospitality and tourism industry, as it helps to build a positive rapport with customers, answer their questions in real time, and provide a personalized experience. Enhanced customer service can lead to higher customer satisfaction and better reviews, which in turn attract more business.

3. Facilitate Last-Minute Bookings

The tendency of modern travelers to make last-minute decisions necessitates a flexible booking system. A tour operator software accommodates spontaneous travelers who might decide to book activities on the same day or shortly before they occur. Traditional booking methods often fail to cater to these customers, as they may find it inconvenient to make phone calls or visit in person. By offering an easy and accessible online booking option, tour operators can capture this segment of the market that prefers convenience and immediacy, thereby increasing overall bookings and revenue.

4. Reduce Administrative Tasks

Travel portal development dramatically reduces the time spent on administrative tasks. Features such as automated booking confirmations, reminders, and follow-up emails minimize the need for repetitive communication, allowing staff to focus on more critical tasks. This automation not only saves time but also reduces the likelihood of human error, ensuring that all communications are accurate and timely. Furthermore, the system can manage booking modifications and cancellations efficiently, providing a seamless experience for both customers and staff. This streamlining of operations can significantly enhance productivity and operational efficiency.

5. Improve Organization

The digitalization of reservations and related documentation leads to better organization and management of information. Online booking systems store waivers, invoices, and schedules in a centralized digital format, reducing the reliance on physical paperwork. This digital storage makes it easy to retrieve documents when needed, ensuring that all necessary information is at the fingertips of the staff. Additionally, having all records in a single, organized system enhances accuracy during check-ins and allows for quick reference, further improving the efficiency of the operation.

6. Manage Staff Effectively

Effective staff management is crucial for the smooth operation of a tour business. Online booking systems provide automated alerts for staff requirements based on upcoming bookings, ensuring that there are enough staff members available to handle the expected number of customers. This feature is particularly beneficial for accommodating last-minute bookings, as it helps avoid scenarios where there are too few or too many staff on hand. Proper staffing ensures that all customers receive timely and quality service, which is essential for maintaining a good reputation and encouraging repeat business.

7. Expand Market Reach

One of the most compelling reasons for tour operators to adopt an online booking system is the ability to expand market reach. By listing their tours and activities on Online Travel Agent (OTA) sites, operators can tap into a larger customer base that they might not reach through their channels alone. Although these OTAs charge commission fees, the increased visibility and access to a broader audience often outweigh the costs. Being present on popular travel websites ensures that the tours are seen by a global audience, increasing the likelihood of attracting international customers and filling more bookings.

8. Avoid Double Bookings

Double bookings are a common issue that can cause significant operational challenges and customer dissatisfaction. An online booking system synchronizes inventory across multiple channels, ensuring that the availability is updated in real-time. This synchronization prevents the possibility of overbooking, as it ensures that once a slot is booked, it is immediately reflected across all platforms. Avoiding double bookings not only enhances operational efficiency but also builds customer trust, as it ensures a smooth and reliable booking experience.

9. Gain Business Insights

Access to detailed business insights is another critical advantage of using an online booking system. These systems generate comprehensive reports that help tour operators understand customer behavior, booking patterns, and the performance of different tours. By analyzing these reports, operators can identify which packages are most profitable and which ones are underperforming. This data-driven approach allows for strategic decision-making, enabling operators to focus on the most lucrative offerings and make informed adjustments to their services to better meet customer demands.

10. Monitor Cash Flow

Real-time financial reporting is a significant benefit of online booking systems. These systems provide up-to-date insights into the financial health of the business, which is crucial for making informed purchasing and hiring decisions. By having a clear understanding of cash flow, operators can avoid overspending and ensure that resources are allocated efficiently. This financial oversight helps in maintaining a healthy balance between income and expenditures, reducing the risk of financial missteps and ensuring the long-term sustainability of the business.

Investing in a booking platform is more than just a convenience; it's a strategic decision. By streamlining operations, enhancing customer experience, and providing valuable data insights, these platforms empower businesses of all sizes to thrive. So, embrace the future - and watch all bookings soar!
