Case Study: Drifter x Loyco

Transforming Travel Flexibility with Wanderpass (Travel Pass)

The Drifter Implementation

Drifter implemented Loyco’s Travel Pass technology as their Wanderpass product, giving travelers a completely new way to explore. With Wanderpass, guests can:

· Purchase passes for 10, 20, or 30 nights upfront
· Book stays across all Drifter hostels in Australia and New Zealand
· Manage bookings through a dedicated Member Portal
· Track available nights and easily purchase more as needed

The system integrates directly with Drifter’s existing Mews Property Management System (PMS), ensuring all Member Portal bookings appear instantly in their PMS. This gives the Drifter team full visibility while providing guests with a seamless and flexible booking experience.
