The Mark Travel Corporation - 35 Years Strong in Milwaukee and Growing

Company Planning to Expand Customer Care Team to Make Vacations Dreams Come True

MILWAUKEE, September 15, 2009 – This year marks the 35th anniversary of Milwaukee-based The Mark Travel Corporation (TMTC). The company makes vacation dreams come true with a comprehensive and positive End-To-End customer experience through its 19 vacation brands, including Funjet Vacations, Southwest Vacations and United Vacations. La Macchia Enterprises (LME), which owns TMTC, currently employs more than 650 Customer Care, marketing, technology and finance professionals in Wisconsin, including their Milwaukee headquarters. TMTC has been headquartered in Milwaukee since it's inception in 1974 and is a member of many local organizations including the Metropolitan Milwaukee Association of Commerce, Visit Milwaukee, Spirit of Milwaukee, Better Business Bureau of Wisconsin and Wisconsin Manufacturers & Commerce.

TMTC is experiencing growth across their vacation brands and expects this trend to continue into 2010. A struggling economy has effected how people choose to spend their discretionary income; however, consumers are very aware of the incredible vacation values currently available. TMTC is planning to expand their team by adding 50 part-time Customer Care Specialists who will be responsible for handling phone calls from consumers and travel agents for Southwest Vacations.

"We're growing our Customer Care team in order to provide the best possible customer service experience to everyone who books a vacation with us," said Lisa Kossiski, Vice President of Customer Care for La Macchia Enterprises. "Now more than ever people need and desire a vacation and the brands of TMTC are here to provide them with the best value for their money to bring family and friends together."

TMTC is taking an innovative approach to recruit new team members. A virtual interactive Webinar will be held on September 17, 2009, at 5:30 p.m. CDT to provide interested job-seekers with an overview of the company and the Customer Care position available. There will also be the opportunity to ask questions via online chat. Click here to sign up for the Webinar.
