Mark Drury,
Sales Manager
My professional life has been all about customer service in the entertainment industry. One of my first jobs was at Walt Disney World in the early years of Disney’s Performing Arts Program, where I coordinated the performances of instrumental and choral groups. Later in life music allowed me to work with many talented artists in the film and television arenas.
No matter what I do, travel has been an integral part of the journey.
My role with Super Holiday Tours affords me the opportunity to appreciate the hard work that goes into planning each travel experience and the gratification to watch a student’s face light up when they step off the bus or plane for the first time in a new city. That experience will live with them for a lifetime and since you only get one chance to make a first impression, it is a responsibility that my colleagues at Super Holiday Tours and I take very seriously.

Bogey Lindsey,
Office Mascot
Hi my name is Bogey (at least that’s what the humans call me) and I am the Super Holiday Tours mascot. I am very helpful in greeting our guests at the office like the mail carrier, hotel staff, attractions partners, or any other humans who are nice to me and bring me treats. You will even see me on the Super Holiday Tours Christmas card! I’m very famous.
The Super Holiday Tours staff are wonderful people and they can help you get exactly what you want! I know because I have them all trained. Hildegard gives me Cheerios, Jennifer and Heather take me outside for a run in the grass, Livy and Sharon give me nice long pats, and Bob plays fetch with me! Bryan likes me too and lets me come and live here with my human, Lisa! Even Mark (who is based in Atlanta) adores me, in a viral setting!
Lisa is the best human! She gives me fashionable bandanas to wear every season, makes sure I eat my crunchies and drink my water, and loves me all the time. How could you not? I’m awesome!
I would like to hear from you in regards to your travel plans with Super Holiday Tours. I guarantee you the folks here can ensure that you will have a memorable travel experience.

Largest group I’ve worked with:Unfortunately I don’t get to tour guide. My job is to stay and protect the office, sniff out the mail and watch out for any crumbs that my human co-workers may have left behind. Don’t worry the humans at SHT are great tour guides and will take wonderful care of your group!
The most unusual place I’ve ever planned a trip was:I haven’t reached the level of expertise the sales managers have so I’m not allowed to put packages together but if I were to plan a trip it would be to Missouri to visit Purina Farms. They have a visitors center, an indoor barn, canine events center, concession stands and a gift shop to purchase treats.
