Esitur Tour Operatorย was founded in 1973 as a Travel Agency within the Crognaletti Group, already operating in local public transport and mail transportย since 1881. Over the years we have distinguished ourselves as Tour Operator for the organization of group trips both by bus and by plane.
The synergy with the Autolinee Crognaletti and with its Grand Touring buses has allowed us, all over the years,ย to offer to theย customers a service that is always excellent and, above all, safe.
In our packages different kinds of travel are enclosed: from cultural tourism with visits to various museums inย Italyย andย Europeย to the skiing holidays. Since our foundation we have always tried to meet the needs of our customers and we continually keep ourselves updated by always trying to improve our products.
Thanks to Esitur, the Crognaletti Group is making theย Marche Regionย known in the world through countless collaborations with local structures, constantly enhacing the incoming tourism sector.
In 2012 Daniele Crognaletti made a bet withย Elisa di Franciscaย at theย 2012 London Olympicsย saying: โIf you win a gold medal Iโll give you a golden busโ. And so it was: 2 gold medals and a wonderful bus that was presented on SkySport 24. From this moment was born the idea of making this sport reality a business for the whole city by organizing in 2013 the first international fencing camps with the Olympic championsย Valentina Vezzali, Elisa di Francisca and Giovanna Trillini, later called Fencing Academy, an event that now has an annual frequency and welcomes guys from all over the world. These champions over the years have been joined by other international renown champions such asย Stefano Cerioni, Valerio Aspromonte, Rossella Fiamingo, Daniele Garozzo, Enrico Garozzo, Francesco Ingargiola, Tommaso Marini, Serena Rossini and Alice Volpi. Over the years we have brought athletes and parents from over 40 countries and from five continents.

In 2015, sports Incoming tourism has even more consolidated its position with the organization of the hospitality for the Taekwondo national finals with over 1,000 admissions in just one weekend.
In 2015 the first artistic gymnastics camp was launched withย Jury Chechi, โthe Lord of the Ringsโ, a symbol of sport without doping.

Furthermore,ย in 2015 we were the largest tickets seller and the major carriers for Expo Milano 2015 in Marche Region with an average of over 10 buses per weekend, so that the RaiTre Ballarรฒ tv show made a service dedicated to us following one of our trips from center Italy to Milan.
In 2015 Esitur enters theย Food Brand Marche: the first food and wine hub in the Marche Region, which gather together 13 agricultural producers of various sectors, from wine to pasta, from meat to olive oil,ย including milk products, truffles and tourism.
