NOW… Passport Mafia has started off at an exhilarating speed. Through engaging social media campaigns, dope flyers, and word-of-mouth referrals, from our awesome friends and fans “Passport Mafia” quickly gained popularity. Dana and Vinnie made their first OFFICIAL Passport Mafia announcement on August 7th, 2024, with a cool animated flyer and a passionate voice-over that gained almost 2K likes and almost 20K views. A week later on August 14th, 2024, they did a LIVE broadcast with one of their branding partners and influencers, Michael “Bolo” Bolwaire and gained more traction. They announced the drop as soon as the LIVE was over, and a blast email was sent to people that had filled out their doc form with the EXCLUSIVE INFORMATION to BOOK. By midnight, their respective Travel Agency site froze from a plethora of close to 100 PAID DEPOSITS. Now Passport Mafia had to reach out to their travel agency to get more room blocks to open the door for more guests. In addition, Passport Mafia launched their newest flyer promoting that there will be a “Celebrity R&B Artist” performing and hosting their “Shades of Nude” pool party. That gained traction online with over 25K views, almost 120 shares and the pleasant chatter of “tell us who the artist is”. STAY TUNED FOR THE OFFICIAL ANNOUNCEMENT OF OUR R&B ARTIST who will travel and grace the stage under Passport Mafia’s brand,

This is just the beginning for these two love birds, as their matching outfits and daily swag has made thousands of people admire and grow to love them. Their inspiration to create a travel company that focuses on crafting immersive experiences, themed travel itineraries to All-Inclusive 5 Star resorts, collaborating with celebrities to perform, and World-Renowned physical trainers, is going to make Passport Mafia the Travel Group you’re going to want to join for years and years to come.
