The Falkensteiner Michaeler Tourism Group (FMTG) as a 360° tourism group, is one of the leading providers and developers of tourism products and services in Central and Southeast Europe.
FMTG is dedicated to all areas of tourism development – from the planning and projection of hotels, apartment residences, campsites or mixed-use properties to the operational management and distribution of the same. We are a “one-stop-shop” with a proven track record. FMTG uses this vertical integration to gain experience in all areas of the value chain and create synergy benefits that result in the development of innovative product concepts and an edge over the competition.
FMTG manages in its own name and on behalf of third parties 27 hotels and 3 apartment residences in the upscale 4- and 5-star category under the Falkensteiner Hotels & Residences brand. It also operates 4 campsites, which will be integrated into the – in the year 2022 newly founded – FMTG Premium Camping business unit. FMTG is represented in six European countries (Austria, South Tyrol/Italy, Croatia, Slovenia, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Serbia). Currently, the group counts over 2,000 employees from over 29 different countries on an annual average.
The family business was founded in 1957, more than 67 years ago, with a small guesthouse in Ehrenburg/South Tyrol. Since then, FMTG has undergone a transformation to become a multinational 360° tourism group while still being owner managed. As of 2023, the company generated a managed turnover of 220 million euros, approx. 4,200 rooms excl. camping and 710.000 bed nights per year excl. camping.
There is also a big focus on the serviced living trend. Here, FMTG has been successfully developing serviced apartments with the Premium Living product for 20 years - embedded in the infrastructure of a Falkensteiner hotel. Two further projects are currently being developed on Lake Garda and on the Falkensteiner peninsula Punta Skala in Croatia.
“We started with a small guest house in South Tyrol and with FMTG we created a structure that is unique in Europe. We build, develop and advise. By advising other companies, we constantly learn and see trends very early. As well as the trend of serviced living. A second home with the benefits of a hotel. We will rely even more on this model in the future.” – Otmar Michaeler, CEO (FMTG)
