Iconic Dubai resort Atlantis, The Palm has joined forces with Virgin Atlantic to launch Vtravelled.com, a brand new social media channel aimed at engaging and inspiring people with a passion for travel.
Conceived by Virgin Atlantic, vtravelled.com showcases travel destinations in a fresh way through reviews and eye-catching photography. Featuring guides on destination resorts such as Atlantis, The Palm, as well as hundreds of cities, beaches, ski resorts and national parks, the website is designed to inspire people to travel to new destinations as well as making the planning and sharing of travel easier.As a key launch partner of vtravelled.com, Atlantis, The Palm has a strong presence on the site and also has its own Trip Pod, a special tool to store and organise travel ideas and dreams. Users can collaborate and share Trip Pods with friends and family to create the ultimate itinerary.

As a key innovation, the new website shows travellers the relevance, by percentage, of other site users.  This gives them a sense of how like-minded the other site users that they engage with are, meaning that vtravelled.com shows them more relevant recommendations.

 

Users of the new social media channel can bookmark and store travel ideas, view stunning destination photography, search and explore with Google Maps, and find the top events happening in their destination of choice.

 

Alan Leibman, President & Managing Director, Kerzner, commented: “Atlantis, The Palm is delighted to be involved in the launch of such an inspirational and exciting new website. We believe that vtravelled.com reflects the Atlantis, The Palm brand - being fun, innovative and modern - and, through the site, we hope to take the resort’s experiences to a whole new audience.”

 

Lysette Gauna, Creative Director of vtravelled.com, added: “We chose Atlantis, The Palm as a launch partner for vtravelled.com as it is an iconic resort, known throughout the world, renowned for its originality and flair. We were keen to work with one of travel’s big names for this launch and we feel that Atlantis, The Palm is the ideal partner.”
