TINTKO
Team for International Touristic Communication

TINTKO is the team of travel experts to optimize your communication on all levels in the field of tourism. Friendliness and a well developed consumer orientation remain the fundamentals when encountering guests. Seasoned travellers and business travellers expect more: individuality, competence and knowledge to help them understand the country they choose.

An important key function for the guests’ satisfaction and for their positive reaction towards the destination they chose for their holidays lies with the tour guide. Especially on round trip tours and excursions the “Dialogue of Cultures” is their responsibility. As Ambassadors of their country tour guides determine the impressions and memories their guests will take home.

Use our experience and our ideas to make sure your guests receive exacting information and authentic experiences on a professional high level.
