STA Travel is one of the largest travel organizations for students and young people. It was founded in 1979 by acquiring assets from the bankruptcy of AUS Student Travel in Australia including their successful UK company (trading since 1976).
The oldest legal entities in the Group are those of Austria (formerly Oekista 1950); Germany (SRID 1955) and Switzerland (SSR Travel 1962). STA Travel is owned by Zürich-based corporation Diethelm Keller Holding Ltd., which also owns business services company DKSH.
Over time it has acquired or started other operations, so today it operates in 60 countries with over 240 STA Travel stores worldwide.
