Tight tourist cooperation agreed with Prime Minister Mickoski

In the coming year, approximately 35,000 guests from the RSD Group, to which RSD Travel Ltd. also belongs, will visit North Macedonia. This beautiful holiday destination thus becomes a valuable component in the RSD travel assortment. To underline the importance of this cooperation, North Macedonia’s Prime Minister Hristijan Mickoski recently received the owner of Funk-Holding, Christian Funk. This is because RSD – as one of the largest educational trip organisers in Europe – is an important part of Funk-Holding, a renowned medium-sized corporate group with more than 600 employees.

Travelling with RSD means seeing the best of the world

There are trips that we dream of our whole lives: finally being where the crusaders fought and kings resided. Standing in awe in front of their huge palaces and fortresses. Strolling through famous cities, taking in their colourful life and moving stories. Gaze in wonder at marvellous lagoons, down into wide gorges and up to mighty mountain ranges.

What makes RSD tour managers so special? Why is it them in particular that guarantee RSD’s success and the superb quality of our tours?

Their magic formula is first-class competence + a good dose of humanity = strong characters. And therefore the best source of support for our travellers.

How RSD is effectively supporting a lovely dentistry project in South Africa

Around 160 kilometres north of Cape Town – on South Africa’s stunning west coast – is the small village of Paternoster. Many families here live on the edge of a basic subsistence. For children, this also means inadequate medical care. And this includes the care of their teeth. So out of the 300 children at the only school in the village, 95 per cent therefore need dental treatment. The “West Coast Kids” aid project is therefore an absolute lifeline for them.

Over 8,500 fatalities: that’s the sad balance of the devastating earthquake in Nepal in April 2015. Some 8.6 million people have been directly affected, including some 1.2 million children. They have been torn from their everyday lives, no longer have a roof over their heads, and many have lost family members, too. The constant fear of new quakes combined with the high level of poverty means that reconstruction work is progressing very slowly.

As long as we live, we will never forget that sunrise – seen from aloft as we floated in a hot-air balloon high above Göreme Valley at the heart of Turkey. Far below us, the endless Cappadocian countryside stretched away into the distance. The gorges and bizarre rock cones the locals call “fairy chimneys” glowed in the first light of day. And more and more balloons rose into the blue sky. For about one and a half hours, we enjoyed our flight above this region, which looks truly mystic. Absolutely overwhelming!
