Generalturist: before & now

Company History
Generalturist has built its status as the leading domestic tour operator through decades of dedicated work, reliable business relationships with clients, competent approach to tourist demands, personal approach to travelers, as well as by enriching the market with superb foreign novelties. Since 1923, when Generalturist was founded, it has gradually grown into a tour operator giant and has positioned itself at the top of Croatia n tourism. At the beginning, it was known as the travel agency that first organized bus tours throughout Europe for domestic travelers, which were very popular at that time. For this reason, even at that time, it became known for its offer of "dream travel packages". Intensive growth of the company took place in 2003, when Generalturist went into one hundred percent ownership of the Pećarević family of Zagreb, that brought the agency to the level of operation of its prestigious foreign colleagues by introducing global trends in the travel industry.
Already in the first year, the Pećarević family significantly modernized the company's operations and stimulated positive financial trends in the largest and oldest travel agency. Sales on foreign markets grew in 2004 by over 70% compared to the previous year, while Generalturist became the leading company in the sales of airline tickets in Croatia, with a market share of 30% of the total number of tickets sold. With the implementation of advanced software at all levels of business, Generalturist has taken service standards to a higher level and has brought them in line with business principles applied in the top companies in the tourism industry. Online business has been set as one of the key activities in the company development strategy. As a result, an excellent model of online purchase of travel packages has been introduced, furthermore, the website has been created and designed according to the principles of the leading global online tour operators. The internal business organization of Generalturist has also been completely re-arranged in order to function as a platform for timely adjustments to rapid changes of trends in the tourist market.
Generalturist Today, and in the Future
Thanks to its wise and humane business strategy, Generalturist holds the position of leading domestic tour operator, which has enabled the establishment of a strong and extensive sales network in Croatia and the entire region, in which the company is present on the market together with Budget Rent a Car, its sister company. For this reason, Generalturist has an annual turnover of 500 million HRK that is, thanks to its well-structured offer, equally distributed throughout the whole year, without being influenced by the season, which is normally characteristic for the tourism industry. It is no wonder that Generalturist was proclaimed the most trusted travel agency on the market in 2007. Generalturist enriches its tourism operations with humanitarian activities. Numerous drives and donations are mostly directed towards children and young people, while sports and cultural initiatives in regional centers and especially on Dalmatian islands are supported through sponsorships. The value of Croatia
n products is also systematically promoted. Generalturist conceives specialized forms of tourism and creates thematic travel packages to lesser known areas of Croatia
, working on the entire image of Croatia
, giving its contribution to maintaining traditional domestic values. In this way, by financing cultural projects and charity drives, the agency takes part in raising social awareness in the area of social responsibility, which further promotes the development of Croatian tourism. Enhancing the traditional tourist offer by supporting exceptional cultural and sports events - that will make Croatia
an attractive and recognizable destination regionally and globally - is one of Generalturist's goals.
In line with its professional and moral values, in the future, Generalturist intends on remaining true to its principles and on following market trends, offerings its clients suitable pleasant experiences in all types of travel.
