Fehérvár Travel is a tour operator company, majoring in outbound group travel (roundtrips, city-tours and exotic tours). In this sector Fehérvár Travel is the market-leader in Hungary. About two third of its organized programs are coach-tours (leaving from Budapest and Székesfehérvár), and one-third of them are plane-groups (departing from Ferihegy, Budapest). About half of its guests are from the capital, but there are a lot of participants from every county of Hungary as well. Many of them have participated on Fehérvár Travel tours more than 20 times.
The company publishes its summer catalog usually in February (including offers from April to November), but since 2001 there is a separate issue for the winter period, including exotic tours to overseas destinations, and coach groups for the Advent, New Year and Carnival season as well.
Before a new program is published in the catalog, it is always previously carefully checked and travelled around by the company. The principle in compiling an itinerary is always to ensure the possibility for the travelers to get acquainted with the culture, history, geography, sights of the given country or region; but it is also very important to organize tours that are entertaining and relaxing, not overly exhausting for the participants.
In order to organize the group roundtrips and city tours on a high standard, the company has a very little additional travel related activities. For example they sell travel insurance and holiday offers of other Hungarian tour operators, but do not sell plane- or any other types of tickets, do not deal with currency exchange, do not handle individual visa administration or organize inbound tours.
There are 27 colleagues working in the office, 24 of them have the highest level of tourism degree. Languages spoken by the colleagues are: English, German, Italian, French, Spanish, Romanian and Russian.
Fehérvár Travel employs about 35 tour leaders, and many of them according to its' guests opinions are the best of their profession in the country. All of them are well-trained and very familiar with the history, culture and customs of their target countries.
The coach groups are operated by about 20 luxury coaches, 4 of those are Fehérvár Travel's very own (2 three-years old Mercedes Tourismo, 1 two-years old MAN Lion's Coach, and 1 one-year old Setra). The other Mercedes, Scania and MAN coaches of the partner companies are also new or a couple years old, air-conditioned busses in very good condition. The coach-drivers have a very confident knowledge of the cities (traffic and routes) in the given countries.
The managing director of the company has a polytechnic university degree, and after a couple years of software-development experience and 3 highest level language diplomas (Russian, English, German), he has decided to change profession. As a tour leader and a tourist he has travelled to many countries of the world, graduated from the necessary travel and tourism schools, and he has been directing Fehérvár Travel since 1996.
The development of the company is very well reflected through the comparison of the published summer (spring to autumn) catalogs:

Fehérvár Travel is very popular among the travelers. From year to year it is usual that about the 50% of the places are sold by the middle of March (only 1 month after the publication).
It is also unique in Hungary, that since 2003 when groups to Turkey needed to be cancelled because of the Iraqi War it has never happened that a group had to be deleted (from the overall published more than 2200 dates).
Besides this 5* guarantee of operating the groups, the company also offers many favorable possibilities to its guests: For example the guaranteed optional programs, guiding with the very up-to date audio-guides (for tours where it is most needed, according to the experiences) and also the gathering of people travelling alone (for those, who accept to be accommodated with an other single passenger, and finally not have a roommate, that guest does not have to pay for the single supplement).
According to the tourism law in Hungary, tour operators need to place a security deposit for in case of any unexpected financial situation. According to the routine, the Hungarian tour operators buy insurance for this case. But Fehérvár Travel placed its security deposit at OTP Bank. This proves the very stable financial background of the company.
Fehérvár Travel owns a 380 square meters office (where it is presently operating), and also a 55 square meters property in the historical center of Székesfehérvár.
