A journey through time with Eurotours.

Awards
Eurotours is recognized as “Tiroler Lehrbetrieb 2025” and receives two international awards at the World Travel Awards: as a leading tour operator and as Europe’s best destination management company.

Construction of a Photovoltaic System
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.
