DERPART

DERPART is a travel-agency franchise network operating under the umbrella of the DERTOUR Group (DER Touristik), the tourism arm of one of Europe's large retail groups. What sets it apart is that it isn't a top-down chain but a partner system in which each franchisee also holds a stake in the network — operators sit on equal footing rather than as mere licensees, while still trading under a nationally known travel brand backed by the DER letters.

As the operator you run your own bricks-and-mortar travel agency, often keeping your existing local identity alongside the DERPART name, and you handle consulting, booking and day-to-day customer service. Headquarters supplies the umbrella brand and reputation, framework agreements and preferential terms with tour operators and suppliers, central booking and sales-management technology, revenue-optimizing sales steering, marketing and campaign material, training, an information and extranet platform, plus legal and crisis support and a field-service contact for personal guidance.
