1970-1975

Tours à la Blaguss

In May 1970 Blaguss Reisen Gesellschaft m.b.H. was founded, with Paul Blaguss and his children as partners. When Robert Blaguss joined the company, he and his brother Paul took over the management.

Two years later Blaguss obtained a full license to operate a travel agency in Vienna. The company had 54 employees in Vienna and Oberpullendorf and 17 coaches in operation.

On 14 November 1972, company founder Paul Blagusz Senior died in Vienna at the age of 65.

The first Burgenland catalogue with package tours was published in 1973. The company opened its first travel agency along Neusiedlersee, to be followed by four other ones at different towns around this large lake in eastern Austria.

In 1974 Blaguss began its first incoming activities in Austria, Hungary and Czechoslovakia with a special focus on Vienna. It attended to the needs of the guests of German and international tour operators.
