Rent the Runway's Closet Concierge is teaming up with Tripadvisor Plus for a partnership that gives travelers the freedom to leave their luggage when going on vacation. Rather than having to stress about a suitcase that may go missing, this partnership lets travelers arrive to their hotel and have it stocked with ready-to-wear designer rental items that can be returned at a later point.
People may be traveling less, more cautiously and more domestically, but times are changing once again as people venture out of quarantine and find themselves eager to satisfy their growing wanderlust. This partnership in particular has the potential to win over spontaneous travelers who are eager to go without having the need to pack much.
