Christian Tour opened its new headquarters

Christian Tour, the biggest travel agency in Romania, has new commercial and operational headquarters in Bucharest, located in Alba Iulia Square, Sector 3. The new office space, three times larger than the previous headquarters, has recently been acquired by Memento Group, of which Christian Tour is a part, and will house both the company’s operational departments, as well as the central sales agency and the agency dedicated to the premium holidays segment, Travel like a star.

“It was a decision based on several solid reasons,” explains Cristian Pandel, CEO & President of Christian Tour. “First of all, we wanted a more central location, both for our colleagues and for the public. We looked for an easily accessible, street-level location in a commercially viable area with dozens of parking spaces available. Our old headquarters were in an office building that was more difficult to access both for clients and group employees. A second reason was our desire to eliminate rental costs, so we made this long-term investment, in line with our future plans for the Romanian market. Third reason, equally important – we wanted to expand the space we had, so the new office space is three times larger than the previous one.”

The new commercial headquarters cover an area of 2100 square meters, compared to the space where the company previously operated – 700 square meters.

Thanks to its generous space, the headquarters in Alba Iulia Square houses all Christian Tour departments and divisions, as well as conference and training rooms, storage spaces.

Both the agency for the premium segment, “Travel like a star”, and the sales agency for holidays and flights dedicated to the general public, which will be set up as a café, operate on the ground floor.

Christian Tour’s commercial headquarters and several AnimaWings offices are located on the first floor, as well as Christian Tour’s operational area with its departments and divisions.

Approximately 120 people will work in the new office, resulting in a surface area of 16 square metres for each person. Among the new workspace facilities are individually zoned air-conditioning, a green area with hundreds of domestic and exotic plants, dining and relaxation areas. In the vicinity of the new premises, employees and customers can find restaurants, cafés, shops and financial institutions.

“Our mission is to create the best memories for our customers, at affordable prices and at the right quality. Christian Tour’s values include travel as a fundamental right, a culture of honesty and integrity, efficiency, diversity. We put the needs of others first, and in our vision, our customers are not our masters, but our friends. They will always be our most important partner,” adds the Christian Tour official.

The new premises have been designed with sustainability and environmental protection in mind, which are important values for Christian Tour.

“Only sustainable and healthy materials were used in the renovation and fitting of the building. Energy efficiency, efficient water management and user-oriented design were all taken into account. For lighting, we use low-energy LED technology, but we also rely heavily on daylight, so we have fitted heat-insulating glazing. We use modern, efficient air-conditioning units for air conditioning. All these measures have led to a high thermal insulation coefficient of the building,” says Andrei Popescu, project manager.

In addition, waste is collected separately in the new building – paper/plastic/glass.

Sustainability measures include the fact that all staff vehicles have recently been replaced with electric versions.
