Membership has its (Travel) Privileges: how clubs, associations and other membership organizations can use travel benefits to capitalize on the post-pandemic travel rebound

Membership Has Its (Travel) Privileges
With global travel depressed by the COVID-19 pandemic for nearly eighteen months, demand for mainstream and niche travel options is forecast to surge this year and next. The impact of the Delta coronavirus variant will likely determine whether the majority of the surge occurs in 2021 or 2022, but a rebound is coming.
At arrivia, we believe full-service travel rewards and booking options are exactly the kind of service offerings that will resonate.
