Over 30 years experience
Mark Warner was established in 1974 with one ski chalet in
Verbier, Switzerland. Since then it has developed into one of
the most highly regarded independent travel companies in the UK,
carrying over 50,000 passengers to a mix of Ski and Beach resort
holidays each year.
A simple philosophy
Mark Chitty and Andrew Searle founded the company and their
entrepreneurial skills have ensured that Mark Warner has stayed at
the forefront of innovation. Since it's conception, Mark
Warner has lead the way in many aspects of the travel
business. The philosophy is simple: Mark Warner combines
great locations, a friendly relaxed environment, lots of facilities
(tennis,watersports,childcare,ski hosts etc) brilliant staff and
good company to give a holiday that is unique.
Positive word of mouth
The company has grown through reputation and the holidays are
recommended time and time again. In fact each year over 75%
of our holidays are sold on the basis of recommendation and repeat
booking.
Catering for everybody
Originally, Mark Warner holiday's were created with singles and
couples in mind who shared an enthusiasm for sport, sunshine and
good living. Over the years improved facilities have been
added including better accommodation and a comprehensive childcare
programme whilst at the same time retaining the unique Mark Warner
ambience making the holiday perfect for couples, singles and
families alike. There is a selection of Beach Resorts and Ski
Chalethotels reserved for adults only in keeping with the original
idea.
Continuing growth and development
Mark Warner was the first company to introduce "ski hosting in
the late '70's, this has now become a standard for most other tour
operators. In 1979, the first 'Chalethotel' was opened and
1986 saw the introduction of the 'Kids Club' programme. This
growth and evolution continues with the recent addition of resorts
in Egypt, Sri Lanka, Mauritius and Portugal, offering half board
holidays, expanding our guest's choice.
Looking to the future
2008 will be Mark Warner's 34th ski season and with it comes the
addition of the Hilton in Whistler and the continuation of the
Heli-ski programme introduced in 2007. Who knows what next
Summer will bring. We are looking forward to another 30 years
of growth and innovation and would welcome you to join us on the
slopes or in the sun sometime soon.
