Thank You!

 

Dear Clients, Partners, and Friends of MERCY TRAVEL.

                                                                                                                                                            

October 1st of 2022 is a special day for us because it marks our 20th anniversary in business, and we are very proud of this achievement.

                                                                                                         

When we started this company in 2002, our vision from the beginning was to become a respected name in the travel industry as a first class provider of travel service and now, twenty years later, we can say proudly that we have achieved our vision.  

                                                                                                          

However, as with almost everything in life, through these 20 years we have had many happy and successful moments. But we also had our share of sad times, like when we lost dear Alexander, a member of our team, in an unexpected car accident. Or the passing of our dear Marie Louise , other member of our team for more than fifteen years, in September of 2021 .  And challenging times when business slowed or people tried to damage our reputation or the positive friendly environment that is normally in our offices. 

                        

We are proud to say that we have had the strength to move forward and leave the hard times behind and enjoy the good times.  We learned that challenges make you stronger, just as iron becomes steel when it goes through fire.

                        

So as the CEO of this company, I now say “Thank God or thanks to the invisible force that moves in the universe” – whatever is your belief system - for helping us get to this important date in the life of this company and all the people who work here.

                        

I now want to send a special “Thank You” to the following individuals, clients, and business partners who have played a special role in the success achieved by this company, and without them certainly this achievement would not have been possible.

                        

A Special “Thank You!” to:

We miss you every day, and send you now thousands of kisses from here.
