One year on and the successful cooperation with Post Reisen continues. Eurotours develops its technology to offer 30 000 hotels, directly bookable online at daily updated rates via the Post Reisen booking platform.

The headquarters in Kitzbühel is harnessing the power of the sun. Since April 2023, electricity has been generated by the newly installed photovoltaic (PV) system on the roof. Around 35 to 40 percent of the building’s electricity needs are now covered by the new system. In this way, Eurotours is making a small contribution to reducing its CO₂ footprint.
