(TAN): Travelzoo META, a members-only service offering Metaverse travel experiences, has started accepting its first 1 million founding members. Launched by Travelzoo, this service will give founding members the opportunity to be the first to experience travel in the Metaverse, a statement by the firm said.
Travelzoo META’s experiences are intended to allow its members to explore hard-to-reach corners of the world, such as summiting Mount Everest, or travel back in time — perhaps to Ancient Rome. They can also discover new spaces beyond imagination. All this is possible using a mobile or desktop device and a simple browser.
Each Founding Member will be entitled to one of the world’s first personality-based, emotionally-driven “Travel Companions” (NFTs). To match their personal Metaverse travel style, founding members would be invited to pick their unique travel companion from an interactive gallery of 1 million unique NFTs. 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. They encourage the freedom to enjoy a life of adventure brimming with extraordinary experiences.
“Travelzoo META is the future of travel,” said Arveena Ahluwalia, general manager of Travelzoo META. “Not only does it remove limitations of physical ability and imagination, but it also allows us to bring people closer together through shared experiences.”
