In Travel News for October 17th, 2022 we talk about a new referral program from SouthWest Airlines, a new Cruise program from Virgin Voyages, and Club Med Columbus is reopening.
Club Med Columbus to Reopen
Club Med Columbus, which is located on the San Salvador Island in the Bahamas, will be reopening on October 22. The resort closed in November of 2021 due to pandemic related issues such as border restrictions and lack of healthcare and testing facilities on the island. With the closing the resort underwent a comprehensive refresh and expansion which includes two new dining options, a refresh of the two story bungalow-style accommodations, and an updated wellness program which includes yoga, holistic spa treatments, and moonlight massages.

SouthWest Airlines New Referral Program
SouthWest Airlines is looking to grow their corporate travel program by offering a generous referral bonus called the Refer a Company Initiative. The program will allow those referring companies to the airline a bonus of 25,000 miles for each company referred, up to 5 companies. The company referred must book travel through an appropriate channel for the referral to count. This program is targeting small and mid-sized businesses that aren’t a part of the companies managed corporate travel program.
