SERVING TOURISM TOWARDS ITALY

ITALIATOUR is a joint-stock company created in February 1986. Its main objective is to offer, especially overseas, Italy as a destination with the best combination of quality and price.
The Company is based in Rome, located in the Alitalia Head Office.
Already the holder of the Alitalia trade mark Intermezzo, in December 1993 Italiatour acquired Offshore, a tour operator involved in the outgoing activity, which has become the trade mark for the outgoing traffic from Italy.

Italiatour operates in both incoming and outgoing tourism offering inclusive packages, hotel accommodation, air and surface transportation, plus complementary travel services, sales, promotion and advertising.

In May 2003, 80% of the stock capital of Italiatour is acquired by CIT, Compagnia Italiana Turismo, while the remaining 20% still belongs to Alitalia.

The CIT GROUP is one of the leading groups in the tourism business.
It operates through 33 companies. The Group manages over 130 travel agencies and 20 strategic inplants in Italian public institutions and corporate bodies.
