=== '''Construction of Elite Travel's First Ice Highway''' ===
On 13 January 2020, an unknown player ordered an ice highway stretching from Superior, [[Ontario]] to Astoria, [[Cascadia (Nova)|Cascadia]].  In the ticket, [[BetaPlain]] calculated the distance between the two points to be approximately 6,800 blocks.  [[BetaPlain]] gave the unknown player a quote of 90 gold for the ice highway, at a cost of 64 blocks per gold.  The player also ordered an aboveground station, which was an available add-on when an ice highway was ordered.
 
[[BetaPlain]] probably began construction of the order on 25 January.  The unknown player directed [[BetaPlain]] to their selected site, and construction on an aboveground station began.  Once the aboveground station, the elevator, and the underground station were finished, ice highway digging began.  [[BetaPlain]] made the decision to begin adding the concrete blocks, lighting, and blue ice blocks to showcase the luxuriousness of the Elite Travel ice highway design.
 
Digging continued until the tunnel reached the town of Nuova Roma, which prevented further ice highway digging.  To combat this problem, [[BetaPlain]] contacted player De_Conqueror, mayor of Nuova Roma, and coordinated ice highway construction.  De_Conqueror personally dug out the portion of the ice highway that stretched through their town.


Construction of the ice highway halted around 14 February 2020.  Shortly after construction had halted, Ontario fell and the ice highway began getting griefed.
=== Other Developments ===
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.
