Hello Dtravel Community - We hope everyone had a wonderful weekend and a great week so far!
This was posted to Discord earlier in the week, but thought we could share here in case you haven't yet joined...
I want to thank all of our community members for their participation last week in helping to drive engagement on Twitter. It’s become more important than ever that work together to drive Dtravel brand awareness and user adoption. As you know, hosts and guests are frustrated with the status quo perpetuated by web2 booking platforms. We truly believe that what we are building will offer a fairer distribution of control and economic benefit to those who contribute value, and in turn solve many of the issues that plague the industry today.
So next time you see a Tweet we could all rally behind, think of a funny meme, create some Dtravel art, or share your Dtravel experience online, post it in
