Travelzoo META opens for founding members to experience virtual travel

Travelzoo - a global Internet media company - has launched Travelzoo META, a members-only service offering ground breaking virtual travel experiences to the first one million founding Members.

Travelzoo META's experiences are intended to allow its members to explore hard-to-reach corners of the world, like summiting Mount Everest, or travel back in time—to Ancient Rome, perhaps. They can also discover new spaces beyond imagination. All this is possible using a mobile or desktop device and a simple browser. Travelzoo META members can use their existing device as a portal to a whole new dimension.

Sign-ups are now open - with an activation fee of US$20 (or foreign currency equivalent) – and with founding members e entitled to one of the world's first personality-based, emotionally-driven travel companions (NFTs).

To match their personal Metaverse travel style, Founding Members will be invited to pick their one-of-a-kind Travel Companion from an interactive gallery of one million unique NFTs. No two Travel Companions are the same. Once a Founding Member claims their special Travel Companion, no one else can travel with it in the Metaverse.

Represented as fantastical animals, the travel companions signify a world with no limitations, cages, bars, or borders. They encourage a freedom to enjoy a life of adventure brimming with extraordinary experiences.

Arveena Ahluwalia, General Manager of Travelzoo META advises "Travelzoo META is the future of travel. Not only does it remove limitations of physical ability and imagination, but it also allows us to bring people closer together through shared experiences."

Ahluwalia has always had a keen interest in space and traveling to places beyond the imagination. This interest was further enhanced when NASA/Stanford University funded her Master's degree to participate in the Gravity Probe B satellite experiment on Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Social connection is one of the largest drivers of interest in the Metaverse, according to a study by global consulting firm McKinsey & Company. Travelzoo META members will be able to share experiences - no matter where in the world they are - or make new connections with likeminded travellers.

Travelzoo META Founding Members can test beta experiences and share their feedback, contributing to how future Metaverse travel experiences are imagined.

Travelzoo META Founding Membership is limited to one million members. The activation fee of US$20 (or foreign currency equivalent) does not include future subscription fees.
