Mark Travel Teams With United Vacations

Dec 20, 2013

The Mark Travel Corporation has reached an agreement with United Airlines to manage the United Vacations program effective Dec. 12. United Vacations will offer vacation packages on United Airlines and select partner airlines to more than 400 destinations worldwide, including the mainland U.S., Hawaii, Mexico, the Caribbean, Canada, South America, Central America, Europe, Australia, Asia and the Middle East.

Travel agents will be able to access United Vacations’ expanded product line, including more than 150 new destinations and thousands of new hotels, via the UnitedVacationsAgent.com site, powered by VAXVacationAccess, or directly via VAXVacationAccess.com. Agents booking United Vacation packages will have more earning opportunities. Agents will earn 5 percent commission on all airfare, have the option to add on their own commission and earn on price matches. In addition, an Agent Rewards program will be launched with United Vacations, providing the opportunity for agents to earn bonus cash on a personal debit card.

“United Vacations will continue to be highly supportive of the travel agency community. We will offer the tools, programs and earnings opportunity agents desire, combined with the quality and service of United Airlines and top hotel brands,” said John Hanratty, senior vice president of travel agency engagement for The Mark Travel Corporation’s managed brands. www.unitedvacationsagent.com; www.vaxvacationaccess.com
