BANGKOK: 20 August 2018: Diethelm Travel Group announced, Monday, the highest operating profit* for the first two quarters of 2018, just one year after the appointment of CEO, Stephan Roemer.
Based on the strongest six-month performance since 2009, the company is forecasting a full-year projected profit of more than 30% by the end of 2018.
With 13 regional offices in countries across Asia, plus remote teams in the UK, US, France and Turkey, the inbound tour operator is showing growth, not only in profitability, but also global reach, luxury offerings and rates of incoming travellers.
Additionally, Diethelm Travel Group reported its adherence to corporate governance and compliance, matching its parent company, Swiss Diethelm Keller Holding.
“Along with clean business practices, safety is also of utmost importance for Diethelm Travel Group staff, partners and guests,” the company statement read.
It noted in the statement that DTG offers the “highest possible third-party liability insurance cover for all regions it operates in, as well as adopting crisis management plans, health and safety programmes that meet global standards.
Employing more than 600 staff and offering nearly 4,000 custom tours throughout Asia, DTG says it is “now enjoying a renewed sense of growth under Roamer’s stewardship.”
Roemer is known as a determined hands-on manager, who took over as CEO in October 2017, while merging Diethelm Travel Group with Switzerland-based Asian travel specialist, Tourasia.
The merger marked Diethelm Travel Group becoming one of the largest incoming tour operators in Asia.
“Since opening in Bangkok in 1957, Diethelm Travel Group has long been considered a pioneer in the region,” said Roemer. “Now, we’re proud to say that Diethelm Travel Group is staying true to its roots, while surpassing our goals for 2018 and moving forward into a new era of service.”
