In keeping with the company’s ambitious
expansion strategy, 1998 saw the creation of
Iberworld, an airline specializing in charter
flights with hubs in Palma de Mallorca, Madrid,
and Tenerife. This was followed shortly after by
founding of Iberojet Cruceros. By 2004, the
original six travel agencies had become 500
branches situated throughout Spain, and one of
the country’s leading tourism groups. That same
year the company created the IBEROSTAR
FOUNDATION. The key areas of action of this
non-for-profit institution are social aid, cultural
development and cooperation for development
with a particular focus on children.
In 2006, the IBEROSTAR GROUP sold its
tourism division dedicated to the outbound side
of the business. The latest stage in its ongoing
development was the launch of a new category of
hotels — The Grand Collection — offering luxury
accommodation for its most demanding customers.
Last year, GRUPO IBEROSTAR celebrated its
60 year anniversary, and since its very start
IBEROSTAR has been dedicated to providing
nothing less than quality offerings internationally,
now holding more than 100 hotels of four and
five stars in 16 countries around the world.
In keeping with its enterprising spirit, the
fourth generation of the Fluxá family is now
directly involved in running the company and is
committed more than ever to continuing to
invest in those countries it already operates in
and to extending its business activity to new
destinations and markets.
“When I was 12 years old, my father taught
us something, which I believe is absolutely
essential: you must have passion for your career,”
explained Miguel. “I found this passion with
IBEROSTAR, and I’m so proud of our continued
growth and to today have top hotels globally.
Quality is our most valuable asset and has
