Las Vegas Jobs with Expedia
One of the most popular online travel sites is working to create Las Vegas jobs (Click here).
Expedia, Inc. was planning to hire 130 employees at the company's Las Vegas operations by the end of June, increasing the company's local workforce to 500 employees. Many of the operational functions of the company's travel brands - including Expedia.com, Hotels.com and Egencia - are supported through the Las Vegas office.
The majority of the new positions will be for travel agents and support staff to serve Egencia, the corporate travel department of Expedia, which offers corporate travel accounts for companies throughout the world.
"Extending our service network into Las Vegas is a key part of our strategy and ability to support clients worldwide," Noah Tratt, vice president of Egencia Americas, said. "Egencia has been pleased with the wealth of talent and experience in Nevada. We are looking forward to expanding our service center here and bringing jobs to the area."
Officials say Expedia will benefit from incentives offered under the new Hiring Incentives to Restore Employment Act, which is meant to create or restore jobs for previously unemployed workers.
"Expedia has long been a partner of the Las Vegas travel and tourism industry, and we are pleased to be able to add jobs in this community," Michael Reichartz, Las Vegas-based vice president of market management for Expedia, said.
"This expansion means new jobs for 130 Nevadans and we are hopeful for further growth, which is always something to celebrate," he continued. "We applaud Senator (Harry) Reid for his leadership in passing the HIRE Act, which has assisted us with this expansion."
