MTS TRAVEL opens 13th office in Berrien Springs, Michigan

EPHRATA, PA, March 6, 2006 -- MTS TRAVEL announced the opening of it's 13th office in Berrien Springs, Michigan. The opening of an office in Berrien Springs followed discussions with the owner of A Traveler's Choice who for personal reasons was planning to leave the travel business and was concerned about caring for her valued clients and her two fine travel agents, Barb Sprung and Jacki Fox.
A Traveler's Choice, began in 1976 and enjoys a very positive reputation in the community. The community of Berrien Springs is the home of Andrews University and much of the business enjoyed by A Traveler's Choice was related to the university. Based on this relationship and the type of travel, MTS TRAVEL made the decision to open an office in Berrien Springs and offered to maintain the office in the same location and offer employment to the current Travel Consultants.
As a result, A Traveler's Choice closed it's doors on March 3, 2006 and MTS TRAVEL opened in the same location on March 6, 2006. We are happy to announce that Barb Sprung and Jacki Fox have agreed to join the MTS TRAVEL family and will continue to provide the same excellent service and integrity to which their clients have grown accustomed.
