The Journey Begins: Journey is Officially Live! Here’s How We’re Reimagining Loyalty (with Founder John Sutton)


Today is a special episode because Journey is officially live! I’m thrilled to sit down with John Sutton, the visionary founder of Journey, to talk about how this groundbreaking loyalty platform for independent hotels and private rentals came to life.

We’ll dive into John’s original inspiration, discuss the future of guest loyalty, and highlight the incredible Alliance Partners who’ve joined us early on this journey. Journey unites unique, independent hotels and private rental homes, offering travelers personalized rewards and unique experiences while empowering operators with advanced technology and guest insights traditionally reserved for major hotel chains. John shares his bold predictions for what’s next in travel and explains how Journey is reshaping the hospitality landscape.

If you’re an independent hotel or unique stay operator interested in joining the Journey Alliance, you can apply to join here!
