Intertours Reisen & Events

What Intertours Reisen & Events does

Intertours Reisen & Events GmbH is a Frankfurt-based corporate travel management company targeting mid-market companies in the DACH region with 500 to 2,500 employees. The firm structures its offering around three core products: Intertours Travel (an online booking portal for flights, hotels, rail, and car rentals), Intertours Expense (travel expense reporting and approval), and Intertours Pay (a corporate payment card distributed via Pliant Oy under Visa licensing). These products are wrapped in a three-tier Travel Management development model (Essentials, Professional, Complete) that the firm positions as a methodology for systematically progressing clients from ad-hoc travel handling to enterprise-grade governance. The platform architecture is built on third-party infrastructure rather than proprietary technology, including the Atlatos online booking engine, Amadeus GDS for reservations, SAP Concur integration via Rocon partner status, Microsoft Azure / Microsoft 365 ERP and operations, Pliant for card issuance, and Freshworks for customer service ticketing. A separate Teamreisen & Incentives practice addresses group and corporate-incentive travel with its own ROI calculator ("Wirtschaftlichkeit von Teamreisen").

The company's go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales targeting German Mittelstand accounts, supported by inside sales/customer service, content marketing, free assessment tools (Travel Quick Check), and event-driven demos. Revenue is generated through a mix of recurring monthly platform fees, one-time implementation fees, transaction-based booking commissions, payment processing margin on corporate card volume, refund/compensation claim fees, and consulting/advisory engagements — i.e., a hybrid subscription plus transaction plus professional services model. The firm claims an aggregate €20 billion purchasing volume across its customer base and 30+ years of operating experience (despite a 2014 founding date, indicating a predecessor or restructuring event), and operates as part of the global Altour network for international coverage in 90+ countries. Recent recognitions include WirtschaftsWoche's 2026 Best Mittelstandsdienstleister list. There are no disclosed revenue figures, funding rounds, or institutional investors in the source material.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• CWT: CWT is a major global corporate travel management company providing booking, expense, and meetings services to business clients. Comparable product offering (booking, expense, advisory) and target market (corporate travel management), though CWT operates at much larger enterprise scale globally.
• BCD Travel: BCD Travel is a large global travel management company serving corporate clients across multiple segments including mid-market. Directly comparable as a corporate TMC offering booking, expense, and advisory services, though at significantly larger scale and broader geographic footprint than Intertours.
• American Express Global Business Travel (Amex GBT): Amex GBT is one of the world's largest corporate travel management companies offering end-to-end booking, expense, payment, and advisory solutions. Comparable as a corporate TMC with integrated travel-expense-pay offerings, but operates at global enterprise scale well beyond Intertours' DACH mid-market focus.

Emerging players

• TravelPerk: TravelPerk is a venture-backed tech-enabled corporate travel management platform targeting SMB and mid-market companies with self-service booking, expense, and sustainability features. Directly comparable mid-market focus but competes via modern technology and self-service rather than Intertours' hybrid advisory-service model.
• Navan (formerly TripActions): Navan is a fast-growing corporate travel and expense management platform combining self-service booking with integrated corporate cards and expense reporting. Closely comparable integrated Travel+Expense+Pay product offering targeting mid-market and enterprise, competing head-on with Intertours' three-product platform.
• Spotnana Technology: Spotnana is a cloud-native travel platform providing booking, expense, and supplier connectivity for corporate TMCs and their clients. Comparable technology-forward approach to corporate travel, competing as a modern infrastructure layer for mid-market and enterprise TMCs.

Direct peers

• Corporate Travel Management (CTM): CTM is a global corporate travel management company with strong presence in EMEA and ANZ markets serving mid-market and enterprise clients. Comparable business model and target segment, with similar mix of direct enterprise sales, technology platform, and advisory services.

Others

• SAP Concur: SAP Concur is the leading corporate expense and travel management technology platform and explicitly listed as a Rocon partner of Intertours. Closely connected via partnership/integration but serves as upstream technology and competing ecosystem player for corporate travel-expense workflows.

Regional players

• Schmetterling International: Schmetterling is a German travel agency network and tour operator providing corporate and leisure travel services. Regional competitor for DACH mid-market travel management with similar distribution model through partner agencies.
• DERPART Travel: DERPART is one of Germany's largest independent travel agency networks offering corporate and leisure travel services. Regional direct competitor within DACH for mid-market corporate travel, also listed as a procurement/framework partner for Intertours.
