[[BetaPlain]], indecisive about which logo to use, and desiring to give the original logo a chance, decided to post a poll on the Elite Travel discord server on 23 December 2019. [[BetaPlain]] cut the poll short after it had reached only a few votes, due to the lack of voters, on the same day the poll was posted. The ice block logo won a unanimous vote.

Elite Travel officially commenced operations on 24 December 2019, after the discord server had finished development and planning had finished.

~~15 days~~ following Elite Travel's commencement of operations, player [[alsjad]] created a ticket and ordered a subscription, making them the first subscribed member of Elite Travel. Later in the ticket, [[alsjad]] began discussions on behalf of NewYorker9 and [[Lucas2011]] for a new ice highway stretching directly from [[New York (town)|New York]] to NewYorker9Estate. Although the order was never followed through on behalf of [[Alsjad|alsjad's]] part, the order would have netted Elite Travel it's first 85 gold profit on top of the 16 gold from [[Alsjad|alsjad's]] subscription.

One week following Elite Travel's commencement of operations, player [[alsjad]] created a ticket and ordered a subscription, making them the first subscribed member of Elite Travel. Later in the ticket, [[alsjad]] began discussions on behalf of NewYorker9 and [[Lucas2011]] for a new ice highway stretching directly from [[New York (town)|New York]] to NewYorker9Estate.

[[File:BetaPlain ad for elite travel.png|left|thumb|500x500px|Advertisement created by BetaPlain for EarthMC discords]]

[[BetaPlain]] created Elite Travel's first advertisement on 29 December 2019. [[BetaPlain]] promptly copied this advertisement into major EarthMC discord servers, bringing many new customers to Elite Travel.

On 10 January 2020, [[BetaPlain]] hired player Heyloki as Elite Travel's 2nd staff member. Heyloki was hired despite not filling an application, while their citizenship in [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]] and friendship with [[EstiQT]] satisfied the vetting process.

During the State of the Market survey of 11 January 2020, Elite Travel ranked extremely low, with 0.9% on in-game shops, and 1.5% on the discord shops section. This was most likely influenced by Elite Travel's appeal for votes on 8 January in the Elite Travel discord server.

After few subscriptions were bought and limited criticism on [[EstiQT|EstiQT's]] part, [[BetaPlain]] lowered the subscription cost to 6 gold on 12 January. Refunds were offered to pre-existing subscribers, however no customers requested any refunds.

Elite Travel began an official partnership with Formidable Concrete Co. on 2 February 2020. Advertisements for both companies were posted in their respective discord servers, drawing many new potential customers to Elite Travel. Members of the Elite Travel discord server were offered a limited 10% discount on all items at Formidable Concrete Co.

After intense criticism and low sales resulting from Elite Travel's subscription system, [[BetaPlain]] officially removed the subscription system on 5 February. [[BetaPlain]] took advantage of the situation by advertising the removal of the subscription system, which did not seriously affect Elite Travel's discord server membership count.
