Company History

The Munich-based tour operator CA Ferntouristik GmbH was first recognized in the late 80’s and early 90’s as the “new kid on the block”. A small company that came from nowhere was suddenly challenging the large established companies in the market. The idea was to produce a quality product at a price below competitor levels.  Within a few years CA Ferntouristik developed into a major player in several markets, including North America. Business to North America became so strong that in 1993, it was decided to found CA Ferntouristik, Inc. in Orlando as the wholly owned receptive operator for the German parent company. CA Ferntouristik, Inc. was responsible for contracting and operating Florida product. Shortly after, an office was added in Los Angeles to establish a West Coast presence. The company was renamed CA USA, Inc. and by 1995 was focused on all product in the continuous United States.

In an effort to develop better brand recognition and combine all destinations under one roof the name “CA Ferntouristik” gave way to FTI Touristik and in 1999 CA USA, Inc. became FTI North America, Inc. 

Since that time FTI North America has handled receptive services in North America for the entire FTI Group in Germany, and Austria as well as several other large European tour operators in France and Switzerland.  FTi North America's corporate offices are located in Orlando, FL and Client Service Centers are located in New York and Miami.

Today FTI North America, Inc. is one of the largest receptive tour operators in North America. As we continue to expand our client base and create new and innovative package holidays, our growth potential remains insurmountable.
