What's New at Shrpa!

  1. ✨ Update to Creator Visits — Destination-Owned Adventures! 🎉

    Improvement
    Destination

    We’re introducing an exciting improvement to the Creator Visit process. Going forward, creators will no longer be responsible for delivering itineraries (adventures) as part of project completion. Instead, adventures will now be generated by Atlas, giving your team full ownership and greater flexibility in how they are created and used.

    You’ll continue to receive written creator highlights about each location they visit. From there, Shrpa’s platform will help transform that content into adventures that you control — making it easier to review, refine, and adapt them over time 🙌

    This change provides several key benefits:

    • Full ownership of adventures, with the ability to edit and repurpose them as needed
    • Streamlined approvals and revisions, since updates can be made directly by your team
    • Flexibility to request new or updated adventures in the future, because a location has changed or you want a new way to organize the experience.

    During a brief transition period, some existing visits already in progress will continue using the previous adventure process.

    We’re excited to bring you a more flexible, destination-driven approach to adventures and look forward to your feedback 💬

    Thank you for your continued partnership with Shrpa.

  2. ✨ New Update to Creator Visits — No Itineraries (Adventures) Required for New Projects 🎉

    Improvement
    Creator

    We’re excited to share an important improvement to the Creator Visit process. For all new creator visits going forward, itineraries (adventures) will no longer be required as part of project completion.

    You’ll still be able to highlight the locations you visit and share what you loved about each place with the written word. However, you won’t need to organize them into formal itineraries. This update simplifies the process, streamlines approvals from destinations, and helps you focus on what matters most: creating great content! 🙌

    Your compensation remains the same, now just with less work required.

    Please note: during a brief transition period, some existing visits already in progress will still require itineraries. This will be clearly noted on those projects as you apply.

    We’re excited to roll out this change and look forward to hearing your feedback. 💬

    Thank you for being part of the Shrpa creator community.
