Day 16 --- Focus Group Results -- Philadelphia Travel Show on Sunday.

March 22, 2017:

Focus Group Results --

What our business?

Gosh, comes down to a bit of Darwinism -- Using scoring systems to help both travelers and travel providers make better connections.

Via the Travel Score system selecting and ranking travelers on five basis points:
1)  Status --  Loyalty Status held --- Current status.
2)  Distance -- Miles traveled -- total over lifetime
3)  Duration --  Days on travel in last year.
4)  Coverage -- Countries traveled to, with bonus for circumnavigation
5)  Aspiration -- Simply put our members want to network with people who would consider space tourism, but have a real problemswith couch potatoes who seek staycations.

The scoring system has been recently updated and members are invited to re-apply for to update their scores -- and hint :) -- hint :) don't check "Staycation"for that actually subtracts points from your score.

Rumor is we are going to start asking our top travelers -- those with 90+ scores to be rating the travel providers.. 

Another show and networking on Sunday.  Will go to the Travel & Adventure show in Philadelphia on Sunday.
