Core Components: Pass & Training
The Memphis Insider Pass Program is built on two synergistic pillars:
The Memphis Insider Pass
What it is: An exclusive admissions pass providing complimentary or significantly discounted access to participating Memphis attractions for verified hospitality professionals.
Who receives it: Front-line staff, concierges, hotel and restaurant managers, tour operators, and other key hospitality personnel from participating local businesses.
How it works: Attractions set their specific terms (e.g., complimentary entry, 50% off, specifi c blackout dates, frequency limits) to ensure a sustainable partnership. The pass will be a physical or digital credential, clearly identifying the holder as a Memphis hospitality professional.
The Insider Training Program
What it is: A comprehensive, curriculum-based training program designed to provide in-depth knowledge about Memphis's diverse attractions.
Content Focus: History, unique selling points, accessibility, best times to visit, hidden gems, and insider tips for each participating attraction.
Your Role in Training: Attractions are invited to partner with us in writing to develop and contribute specific training content about their unique offerings. This could include fact sheets, virtual tours, FAQs, or even short, engaging videos. Your expertise ensures our hospitality professionals receive accurate, compelling, and up-to-date information directly from the source.
Benefit to Professionals: Enables them to make highly informed, personalized, and enthusiastic recommendations, leading to increased visitor satisfaction and a more memorable Memphis experience.
