Founder's Notes: Sneak Peak at VVIP Loyalty
Catch up from February from our State of Black Travel and
February was such an exciting month for us, and we have much to cover, so let's jump right in.
The State of Black Travel
The State of Black Travel Live Discussion was an amazing event - a love fest for black excellence and also a bevy of great information about the how black travelers are moving about the world today. If you haven’t had a chance to see it, you can see the replay on YouTube and Facebook. Again, I want to thank all our panelists for participating and having such a lively discussion on the matters at hand for black travel:
Wanda Duncan, Black Women Trvl Pod
Diva Green, I Got Your Black
Ashley Hughes, The Bae Area
William Huston, Bay Street Holding,
Youmie Jean Francois, Flex-n-Fly
Sheree Mitchell, Immersa Global
It was a great hallmark event for Black History Month, and we can’t wait to do it again!
Growing Wall of Partners
Our great wall of Partners is growing! We recently announced that Black Women Trvl Pd and Wanderful had joined our VVIP Partnerships collective, and we have a few more in the works! Over the next several months, we will announce more partners joining our VVIP Loyalty initiatives. We invite you to learn more about them and keep track of the amazing initiatives they are spearheading for women in travel.
If you haven't, I suggest you sign up for your membership. The first 1000 people to sign up for membership will receive an additional 100 points in their account and a special pass that will unlock certain items for you in the future at no cost.
We always welcome feedback from our community, so if there's any particular partner you think would be a great fit for us or would like to see a certain kind of perk from a particular company, please let us know here.
Updates on VVIP Loyalty
We are working hard, building out the next phase of Viageur, VVIP Loyalty. I'd like to take the opportunity to give a glimpse behind the scenes of our team's work. We have one full-stack developer working part-time and myself working on the platform and the new addition.
We hope to finish the new addition in the next several weeks - possibly right before the summer travel season.
In the coming days will be looking for initial feedback from our community. If that interests you, we would love to include you in some of our Alpha conversations. Let us know by dropping us a line at community@viageur.io or signing up for membership. Members will get the first notification for our Alpha program.
