WHO IS LIBERTY INTERNATIONAL?

[Country Offices]

Liberty International was established in 1990. Liberty founder Mario Enzesberger, was quick to note the emerging opportunity arising from the opening of the borders in Eastern Europe.

The Austrian born entrepreneur, who gained extensive experience in the industry, called upon local and western-trained colleagues to establish a series of "Destination Management Companies" in Central Europe - which later expanded to Western Europe, Africa and the Middle-East. Its network recently included offices in the countries of Latin America.

Liberty International A.G., the holding company, is a major shareholder in all the offices around the world. The managing director of each of these offices is the shareholder/partner and thus shares in its success and profits. The entire structure is based on 100% private capital. Due to strict financial control, the Group has always managed to finance itself and to this day has never required any sort of cash facility to conduct its normal travel business.

Liberty has always endeavoured to invest heavily in keeping its computer technology updated and capable of coping with its growing volume of business.

With a presence in over 30 countries, we are backed by a strong staff of more than 450 proffessionals who have a truly unique approach to our business. Our employees understand and utilise technology as a means to an end, and unfailingly make customer service the highest priority. Customer satisfaction is our ultimate goal. Tribute should be given to our loyal and experienced, multi-lingual and dynamic staff who unfailingly make customer service the highest priority.

"Price management" at Liberty is not just a catch-phrase but more an instrument to allow us to offer an optimum relationship of price and service. We are able to negotiate very competitive rates with our suppliers through our high volume of clients from all over the world. Customer satisfaction plays a key role in the Liberty philosophy. Our suppliers are therefore regularly reviewed in respect of quality, service and safety.

In 1999, Liberty purchased its first Hotel in Prague in the Czech republic, and in the year 2000 assumed management of a hotel in Salzburg in Austria. As a result of the continuos increase in demand for incentives, conferences and congresses at Liberty destinations, Liberty has established the new Liberty Incentives & Congresses Company, which has been in operation since January 2000. The company was previously (for 10 years), the Liberty Incentive Department within the Liberty Head Office in Prague. More projects are in preparation, which will lead us into a new sphere.
