MINNETONKA, MN -- Tour operator and Northwest Airlines subsidiary MLT Inc. has refreshed both its corporate and charter product names and logos. MLT Inc. will now be marketed as MLT Vacations Inc. and its charter product's brand name has evolved from MLT Worry-free Vacations to Worry-Free Vacations.

According to MLT Vacations Inc., the refreshed look and name better capture the core product attributes of reliability, value and selection. The company made several significant improvements in the last year, including the introduction of new service from Las Vegas, Memphis, Colorado Springs, and Honolulu; opening a state of the art reservations facility in Minot, N.D.; and launching new travel agency and consumer websites. Additionally, MLT Vacations Inc. airline partners Champion Air, Omni Air International, and Northwest Airlines, have delivered industry leading operational performance.

The new tagline ``Better Value. Better Vacation.'' will be incorporated in advertising, promotions, and other sales and marketing vehicles. ``Our mission is to keep the promise that we've made to travel agents and vacationers,'' says John Temple, president and chief operating officer. ``We strive to deliver a vacation experience that is truly worry-free. Your flight will be on time, your hotel room and car will be clean and waiting for you, and the total cost will be within your budget -- with no surprises.''

To kick-off the freshened name and logo, the company is awarding 25 trips for two to the 25 best ``Top Ten Reasons I Need A Vacation'' entries received through its website. Entries are judged on humor, creativity, and originality. The entry form is available at http://www.worryfreevacations.com . Entries must be 100 words or less and received by midnight March 31, 2001.
