History

Having its origins in De Buck coach company, De Buck Travel started as a full-service travel agency for individual customers in the 70s
Located in the city centre of Ghent, De Buck Travel mainly offered family trips operated by its own De Buck coaches
In the broad surroundings of Ghent, De Buck became synonymous with high-quality coach travel, both for groups and for individual clients
De Buck established a well-known brand name and quality label
At the same time, De Buck Travel expanded its range of products, offering the travel brochures of all of Belgium's major tour operators
As well as the De Buck Travel in Ghent, a second agency was established in Eke, just outside Ghent (where their coach company was based)
From the early 90s the entire coach travel branch was sidelined due to the popularity of affordable plane tickets
This important market evolution inspired De Buck to introduce a drastic change in strategy
De Buck chose a future-proof strategy, specialising in (preferably long-distance) travel by plane, instead of short-distance coach trips
This big change was set in motion by the arrival of Veronique De Buck at her parents' company
In just 8 years she managed to increase the turnover of De Buck Travel in Ghent by 500%!
In May 2001, all the travel activities of Ghent and Eke were merged and concentrated in one strong everything-under-one-roof travel agency in Eke
Easy access and ample parking facilities are the main assets in Eke
For many years De Buck Travel has been specialising in all forms of travel designed for the world traveller
