Travel company Expedia announced today it will add 130 new jobs to the online travel company’s Las Vegas operations by the end of the month.
Las Vegas is home to operational functions serving a number of the company’s travel brands, including Expedia.com and Hotels.com. The company will host an open house later this month.
The new jobs, mostly travel agents and support staff, will serve Egencia operations, the corporate travel arm of Expedia that services corporate travel accounts for global companies. Other operations at the Las Vegas office will include telesales, customer support and additional functions.
“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,” said Michael Reichartz, Las Vegas-based vice president of market management for Expedia, in a prepared statement. “This expansion means new jobs for 130 Nevadans and we are hopeful for further growth, which is always something to celebrate.”
Expedia’s Las Vegas office is at 10190 Covington Cross Drive in Summerlin.
