In 2008 Dertour teamed up with the health specialist Dr. Holiday AG to become the first big German tour operator to tap the travel market with the highest growth potential. The catalogue "Gesundheit & Reisen" (Health and Travel) was published in 2009, adding a new dimension to Dertour's varied product portfolio. Dertour GmbH & Co KG, Frankfurt, has a 75.1 per cent stake in Dr. Holiday AG, Regensburg. Dr. Holiday AG is the market leader for health trips subsided by health insurance organisations and travel with "GesundheitsExtra".
The health insurance organisations pay the costs of health courses at the holiday locations of Dr. Holiday health trips. The insured traveller only pays for tourist services. Dr. Holiday also offers the health insurance organisations an all-round service. Dr. Holiday develops the programmes, selects qualified trainers, rigorously monitors success rates and offers help in ensuring a sustainable benefit.
