The term revenge travel refers to the zealous urge to bounce back from a year crippled by a pandemic through high adventure and unabashed exploration. However, with a world of constant reminders that we are not totally out of the woods, revenge travelers might want to hand over the planning details to the experts.

The normal inclination is to seek out all-inclusive resorts that allow travelers to put on swim trunks and leave the wallet in the hotel room. Destination Club, an exclusive members-only travel club takes it one step further, offering more than just typical vacations. While many hotels and resorts translate all-inclusive as focused on being comprehensive and convenient, Destination Club vacations focus on the unique experiences each destination possesses, such as sunset cruises in Dubai, waterfront golf in the Dominican Republic, day trips to the temples of Bali, and shopping and sightseeing in Mykonos Town, to name a few.

These trips are curated based on the travelers specific inclinations, and provide luxury experiences at a reasonable price considering the level of the VIP service. These experiences include private chefs, spa treatments, luxury transports, throbbing nightlife, skydiving, and just about anything else that fits into the theme of revenge travel.
The membership tiers of General (free), Gold ($15/month) and Elite ($25/month) offer gradually increasing benefits from travel accessories to free room upgrades where available. Trips can be arranged for the individual or for groups of 12-30 people. One of the goals of Destination Club is to bring people with similar interests together and let travel become the cement for future friendships.

CEO of Destination Club, Sekou Saunders, began his love for travel in his early 20s after visiting Japan, not a surprising reaction. However, the idea for Destination Club was actually formulated after Sekou traveled to Sydney, Australia. Years as a marketing brand tour manager and a music festival associate producer certainly added to Sekous vision for Destination Club. Further formulation of the business idea came during Sekous residence in the Dominican Republic. In all, Sekou has traveled to over twelve countries (not bad, considering Destination Club is only 5 years old), adding approximately two new countries each year. Sekous objective is to make travel easy while creating memorable experiences. The secret to the success of the company is that Sekou personally scouts out the destinations to locate the most scrapbook-worthy memories to both enthrall the club member and make the travel experience a breeze.

Simplifying the chore of travel planning is a great way to slowly usher the traveler back into the world of adventure. Though revenge travel is being challenged by the Delta Variant of Covid-19, smaller tour groups and more individual curation might be both safer and more tailored to ones travel preferences. In addition, as the landscape of the country continues to be supportive and diverse, a Black owned business like Destination Club possesses yet another quality that makes revenge sweet rather than bittersweet.read more
