| Status | Piloted with first live bookings made |
| Key components | Flights, accommodation, transfers, activities, trains, cars, cruises and tours |
DERTOUR Group is collaborating with Travel Compositor to make complex, individualised trips easier to create and book across its international operations. The platform is being tested by DERTOUR-owned agencies in Germany and through selected round trips on the DERTOUR website, with first live bookings already made. DERTOUR says it will use the pilot findings before extending the solution across Germany, Switzerland and further markets, according to Breaking Travel News and Travel Daily News.
What changes for travellers?
Travel Compositor will be used wherever trips require individual configuration, combining multiple travel components with real-time bookability. The platform is part of Travelsoft and specialises in creating, booking and distributing complex travel products.
The collaboration supports DERTOUR Group’s Home of Holidays ambition to offer customers the right trip for almost every holiday wish. It is intended to make specialist products and local expertise more accessible across different markets.

For customers assembling accommodation with flights, transfers or activities, the proposition centres on configuring those components together rather than treating them separately. The announcements do not set out property-level prices, minimum stays or cancellation rules, including any apartment-specific terms for the complex itineraries assembled through the platform.

What can be booked together?
Travel Compositor can combine flights, accommodation, transfers, activities, train journeys, rental cars, cruises and tours within one itinerary and booking process. It complements DERTOUR Group’s existing systems for complex, modular and tailor-made travel, where the group says greater technological flexibility is required.
The rollout forms part of DERTOUR’s Tech & Touch approach. That approach combines smart digital technology with the personal expertise and service quality of travel professionals. The combination is intended to support individually configured journeys while keeping specialist products and local know-how available across markets.
Where has the platform been tested?
The current rollout has three stated elements:
- DERTOUR-owned agencies in Germany are piloting Travel Compositor.
- The agency pilot has recorded its first live bookings.
- Selected round trips are available through the DERTOUR website as a separate pilot.
The first live bookings are providing information that DERTOUR says it is using to optimise the platform and booking experience continuously. The agency test is also intended to show how the technology works in day-to-day consultation and booking processes.
The website pilot gives DERTOUR additional practical information about consultations and reservations involving selected round trips. Together, the two pilots are intended to provide findings before the company rolls out the solution more broadly. DERTOUR has not disclosed how many agencies, bookings or markets are involved in the current trial.
Where does the roll-out go next?
Gonzalo Salvador, Co-Managing Director of Travel Compositor, said the company has spent the past twelve years building a platform for tailor-made travel across multiple products and destinations. He said Travel Compositor would support DERTOUR Group’s further development of personalised travel in Europe and beyond.
Miguel Ángel Garoz, the company’s other Co-Managing Director, said the collaboration reflects the importance of modern travel technology for producing and distributing complex journeys at scale. As Travel Compositor is part of Travelsoft, Garoz said it would work alongside DERTOUR Group as the solution extends to more agencies and markets.
The next rollout stage named by DERTOUR is broader deployment in Germany, Switzerland and further markets. The company will first use the practical insights from its German agency and website pilots to refine the platform and the booking experience.
