The program is based on a simple structure that allows a student to earn 5% in commission for every Jovago booking they make. It’s also built on a socially engaging model; allowing friends of students signed to the programme a 10% discount for bookings made on the platform. This inclusion creates a network of tech savvy travelers who prefer products that are both convenient and inclusive.

To join, students can send their email to jobooker@jovago.com. They will in turn receive an information pack and a personal code that will be used to identify and track all their bookings. Other benefits include possible internship as well as free Jovago getaways.
