Journey Acquires Experiences Platform Epicurate

Hospitality loyalty startup Journey has acquired Epicurate to add experience packaging to its platform. Boutique hotels and short-term rental operators can sell experiences like private dining, wellness, and excursions through the same system, and travelers can book via the Journey app and earn rewards. Epicurate's founder joins Journey as head of dining and experiences. Journey also expanded its seed round to $15 million.
