EPHRATA, PA Lancaster County based MTS TRAVEL has been honored by Switzerland's Department of Tourism for the second time with their Goldflower award. The award acknowledges top performance in North America in promoting Switzerland as a destination. MTS TRAVEL CEO Kermit Yoder commented, "We are very pleased to receive this award again as it confirms our strategy to feature Switzerland as a perfect destination for so many different types of customers."

MTS TRAVEL has planned trips to Europe for decades and has always had a special interest in Switzerland. In fact the company got its start in 1947 by sending travelers to Europe, although for a very different purpose than vacation - they were aid workers helping to reconstruct the post World War II continent. MTS TRAVEL began planning custom tours to Europe in the early 1970's and has never looked back. All 11 nationwide offices of the company helped contribute the volume of travelers to the beautiful mountain nation of Switzerland which helped win the award.

"We try to show our American travelers the real face of Switzerland" stated Cindi Brodhecker, one of MTS TRAVEL's certified Swiss specialists. "Our tours go beyond the 'drive by' view of attractions through the bus window" Specialized programs like "Meet the Swiss" include elements that fulfill the interests of the group such as joining a Swiss family for dinner, meeting a retired politician, seeing alpine cheese makers at work and more. MTS TRAVEL offers Switzerland by train tours where all your transportation is train travel. The train system in Switzerland is one of the best in the world. Other options include the charming Christmas markets or a Rhine river cruise that ends in the beautiful Swiss city of Basel.
