Our Story
Our destination management company’s history extends as far back as 1974, originating with the founding of Top Tours Travel in Munich as a hyper-local DMC that focused on the US market. That same year, Compass Tours Incoming was founded in Duesseldorf to focus on the European market. Rapid growth soon began, and Compass Tours Incoming opened local offices in Berlin and Frankfurt.
From 1974 to 2001, both companies operated independently. Though it wasn’t long before Compass Tours Incoming hit a milestone and decided to expand their reach even further by planting roots in Munich. Fate just so happened to align, as Top Tours Travel opened the door to a DMC company merger.
Because Top Tours Travel was well-known in the US markets already, we retained the name for our new office in Munich. Though, by 2005, both companies merged under one legal umbrella, and we’ve seen success ever since.
Diversity, Respect and Equal Treatment
Travel connects people across borders. As a destination management company, we work every day with guests, partners and colleagues from many different countries and cultures — and we see this diversity as one of our greatest strengths.
We do not tolerate discrimination in any form. No one at CTI shall be treated less favourably because of their nationality or origin, ethnicity, skin colour, religion or belief, gender or gender identity, sexual orientation, age, disability, or social background.
This commitment applies to everyone we work with: our team, our guests, our clients, and our partners and suppliers. We expect the same respectful conduct from those we do business with.
Discriminatory behaviour, harassment or exclusion have no place in our company. If you experience or observe such behaviour — whether you are a colleague, a guest or a partner — please contact us at respect@cti-dmc.de. Every message is read by a member of our management team, treated confidentially, and answered.
Everyone is welcome with us. That is not a marketing statement; it is how we work
