MANAGEMENT
DAVANTAGE Ltd. was founded by Michal Žabokrtský, who also fulfils the duties of the company’s Managing Director. His education at the University of Economics in Prague was focused on International Trade. He has been involved in the Travel Business and related fields for over 20 years, starting his career as a tourist guide, working with foreign guests in the Czech Republic and accompanying Czech groups all over the world.
PRAGUE, NURNBERG, PARIS
His first experience in Corporate Tourism dates back to the period during which he worked in the Congress Department of the ČEDOK Travel Corporation in Prague. Later, after spending 2 years at the WTB Welcome Travel Bureau in Nurnberg, Germany, he moved with his family to Paris. For 8 years, on the Avenue de l’Opéra - between the Opéra Garnier and the Louvre - he was in charge of the CEDOK FRANCE Tour Operator and Incentive Agency, renowned for smart travel solutions covering Prague, the Czech Republic and other European destinations.
EAST OR WEST, HOME IS BEST …
Once returned from France, Michal held some quite exciting jobs at CZECH AIRLINES, CHANNEL CROSSINGS and the PRAGUE AIRPORT AUTHORITY. As Director for International Cooperation at the MINISTRY OF LABOUR, he accompanied Petr Nečas, the Minister at that time, on official missions abroad. He also participated in the preparation and conducting of the Czech Presidency of the European Union (2009). Before creating DAVANTAGE, he functioned as a member of the steering board of HRG CZECH REPUBLIC (subsidiary of the globally performing British corporate travel company HOGG ROBINSON GROUP), responsible for the “Events & Meetings Management“ incentive section.
