Today, many of us have subscriptions to watch movies, listen to music or even rent a car. While a study by Telecoming indicates that the French subscription market is expected to grow by 18% per year in the next four years, the French start-up Travel Prime has decided to use this system for the travel industry!
Subscribing to Travel Prime, to plan a romantic weekend, a stay in the islands or a ski vacation, is both a way to build up a travel kitty and a guarantee of getting the best prices. A real good travel plan!
Travel Prime, how does it work?
Travel Prime is a start-up that has been working for several years on atravel subscription system to finance future escapades while benefiting from the best rates. It is supported by Nfinitylabs, a French consulting agency specialized in Web3.
In concrete terms, the user goes to the site to create an account and then downloads a widget onto his or her Internet browser. In exchange for a subscription to the platform of €6.90 per month, they have an account for their future trips, which they can feed as they wish.
When a person books a city break in a European city or a trip to laze on the beaches of an island paradise, for example, a commission of 7 to 12% is generally included in the selling price for the distribution network. This applies to all operators, and to trips already on promotion or private sale. Where Travel Prime differs is that it redistributes the commissions generated by travel operators during a transaction to its subscribers. January, March, August or November, it doesn't matter! It's a guarantee of the best rates all year round!
When she later consults a site to book a plane ticket or an all-inclusive trip with a tour operator for example, the widget offers her access to updated prices according to her kitty. If they have enough money in their kitty, they will not have to pay anything and some offers may show a price of 0 €. If not, the amount of the kitty will be deducted and there will be only the rest to pay. Note that when the merchant site is a Travel Prime partner, purchases are paid via a promo code. Otherwise, a transaction number via an e-Card is generated.
What are the advantages of Travel Prime in organizing future trips?
Travel Prime is aware that more and more people are using the Internet to book cheap trips. Therefore, it first proposes an extension directly integrated on the online sales sites, and which offers a dynamic display of discounts.
As mentioned above, it then allows future travelers to benefit from better rates, since it redistributes to its subscribers 100% of the commissions generated with travel operators during a purchase. No intermediaries or commissions, it's the assurance of low prices all year long! With Travel Prime, the process is also totally secure. The start-up relies on networks and blockchain technology to certify transactions and intelligently manage members' contracts.
To celebrate the launch of Travel Prime and accelerate the progress of the project, a pre-sale of the first subscription contracts is organized in the form of a Digital Pass. Available at a price of €249 (the cost of a 3-year subscription), it is limited to 5,500 copies. Note that the first 500 Passes benefit from a discount and are priced at 199 €! This Digital Pass offers a series of exclusive advantages to its holders, such as: free subscription fees for life, a gift awarded according to the rarity index of the acquired Pass, and the chance to become co-actors in the development of the platform.
