Our history

Euro-Center was established by Scandinavian investors, who realised how local assistance to travellers could vastly enhance their experience at the destination. The idea was spot-on, and in 1971 the first Euro-Center opened in Mallorca.

Euro-Center has gradually grown globally to today’s 3 assistance hubs,

11 branch offices, 300 employees and over 70,000 providers worldwide.
