Ejlif Krogager

Ejlif Egon Richard Søndergaard Krogager (5 February 1910 – 7 January 1992) was a Danish pastor and entrepreneur, who founded the travel agency Nordisk Bustrafik in 1951 which evolved into the multi-national company Tjæreborg Rejser.

After the war he entered the tourism business by founding Nordisk Bustrafik in 1951, offering affordable bus trips for Danish tourists.

The business developed into Tjæreborg Rejser, which started a German subsidiary in 1973, becoming the fourth largest travel agency in that country within 3 years.

On the Spanish island of Lanzarote Ejlif bought an existing but unfinished development in 1978 for its housing capacity.

The resort opened, as one of few on Lanzarote at the time, on 22 June 1983 as Club La Santa offering sports facilities for active holiday goers.
