Mario Enzesberger
Founder & Group CEO
Founded Liberty in 1991. Today the group spans 60+ countries on three continents.
— Manifesto
Think global. Act local.
We believe destination management is a craft, not a commodity. Anyone can book a hotel. Few can read a city well enough to know which courtyard quiets at 7pm; which sommelier was just promoted; which fixer keeps the police commissioner's number.
That craft is what 35 years build. It is also what privately-owned operations protect — because we answer to clients, not shareholders, we can keep small things small and big things personal. Our office in Salzburg is six minutes from the founder's desk; in Vienna it's fifteen.
We are signatories of the Glasgow Declaration on Climate Action in Tourism. We are members of USTOA, ETOA and SITE Global. We hold the Austrian Green Meetings silver certification. None of these are decorations: they are the standard our clients pay for, and the floor we build above.
