Genesis Travel Benefits and Qantas Vacations Make It Easier To Plan and Pay For Holidays in the Land Down Under

St Petersburg, Florida Dec 07, 2004 Jetabout North America, which does business under the Qantas Vacations brand, and Genesis Travel Benefits, a payroll deduction benefits company specializing in travel and leisure, have announced a partnership to offer unique vacations and travel packages that employees can pay for through their employer's payroll deduction voluntary benefits program

"Qantas Vacations joins renowned Carnival Cruise Lines, luxury Sandals couples-only resorts, and Beaches family vacatons as part of our incredible line- up of vacation offerings through Genesis Travel Benefits' payroll deduction program for employers," announced Simon Reynolds, President and CEO of Genesis Travel Benefits.

Qantas Vacations brand is the largest vacation wholesaler to Australia and New Zealand from the U.S. and it specializes in customized leisure travel to other South Pacific countries such as Fiji and Tahiti. Kieron Keady, Vice President of Sales and Marketing for Qantas Vacations, says, "Qantas Vacations sees this as an exciting proposition to bring our vacation packages to a large, new audience. Our relationship with Genesis will deliver our products to interested consumers via their company benefit plan. Employees will now be able to save towards the cost of a fantastic South Pacific vacation through pre-agreed payroll deductions with their employer."

According to Mr. Reynolds, employers, brokers and benefit consultants are eager to learn about how to add payroll deduction vacation packages to their worksite voluntary benefit programs. "Think about it. What's more exciting to talk about than vacations? Employees truly appreciate this opportunity to plan and pay for holidays-of-a-lifetime, like an adventure 'down under' in Australia, through payroll deduction. It's easy for the employee and employer. It increases employee satisfaction with the employer's benefits plan and provides a new revenue stream for brokers and consultants in the workplace benefits business," he explained.

For the employer, the new service can be added to an existing voluntary benefits program at no additional cost or administrative burden. Plus, Genesis Travel Benefits makes it easy for the employer and broker by handling all of the enrollment and reservations for the benefit.

"Genesis Travel Benefits is living up to its mission of expanding our product line with the best vacation packages offered by the best travel and leisure companies in the world. We are getting great reviews from travelers as well," continued Mr. Reynolds.
