The wholesaler’s inventory covers the globe, hosting competitive prices in destinations such as New York, Miami, and Chicago as well as the European hotspots across Spain, Italy, and Germany.

Tourico’s strength in popular U.S. destinations such as Chicago and New York City was also noticed by airberlin holidays. This strength had already been demonstrated through the success of multiple “offline” promotions through the collaborative efforts of the airline and Tourico’s Berlin-based Sales Manager Oliver Stahlberg. The success of these promotions influenced airberlin holidays’ decision to partner with Tourico Holidays, after demonstrating personal reliability and aggressive pricing in compressed destinations.
After a partnership agreement had been reached, airberlin holidays launched the “airberlin holidays Summer City Sale” in April 2015, featuring hand-selected inventory from the Tourico Holidays contracting team. This included much of Tourico’s hallmark ExclusiveDeal inventory, such as the Hyatt Regency Paris Etoile — a hotel where Tourico is the exclusive wholesale provider — as well as deals in Italy, Spain, Hungary, Finland, France, and the Czech Republic.
