About

The story of Travco Group International is a story of ongoing growth and success. The Ministry of Tourism has recognized our achievements with the prestigious Number One Travel Company in Egypt award for the past 12 years.

From humble beginnings three decades ago, Travco has grown into a travel, tourism and hospitality empire offering a multitude of facilities and services across Egypt and the Middle East.

Our commitment to service excellence has helped the group build a strong domestic and regional presence, and a far-reaching network of partners.

Targeted business expansion has enabled Travco to attain and maintain its market leader status, but we do not rest on our laurels. The group values and rewards innovation, and is constantly seeking out new opportunities and undeveloped destinations, transforming them into major tourist sites. Adding value to these otherwise overlooked markets has always been a central part of the group’s core strategy, enabling us to successfully pioneer tourism in the Red Sea, the Western Desert, and the North Coast. Our business is built on the quality of our 13,000 highly-trained, multilingual professionals whose unrivalled expertise is central to everything we achieve.

Building on our success in Egypt, where we have achieved in excess of 15% market share and total assets exceeding LE 3 billion and total revenue of L.E. 3.1 billion, Travco now looks toward the region and the world. Our future strategy is to extend the reach of the group’s network of services, and build on our presence in the travel, tourism and hospitality market.

Travco always strives for the highest standards in quality in all aspects of its business, and works hard to achieve profitable growth in new markets.

The headquarters in Sheikh Zayed City, housing more than 1000 professionals, serves as the nerve centre for all Travco Group International’s companies and their operations. The four-storey complex, built on an area of 20,000 square meters, features the latest computing and information technology, contemporary interiors, and a chic exterior that reflects the soul of the company – modern, progressive, forward-thinking, with a keen sense of hospitality.

Facilities at Travco Group’s headquarters include a multi-purpose room accommodating up to 200 persons, lecture and conference rooms, training rooms, highly equipped meeting rooms throughout the building, a restaurant, a private dining area for VIP visitors, prayer rooms, clinic, travel agency, and wireless internet for all indoor and outdoor areas. Synchronizing the work with the headquarters are numerous service branches, which have been strategically placed in major tourism centers across Egypt.

In addition, the group operates international branches in UAE, Oman, Qatar, Germany, China and Japan, with plans for future expansion into Jordan and the United Kingdom.

Established in 1979, Travco employs 13,000 people in its network of operations and service branches in Egypt and around the world.
