DENVER, Jan. 18, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Inspirato Incorporated ("Inspirato" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:ISPO), the innovative luxury travel subscription brand, today announced a plan to streamline operations. The plan includes a workforce reduction, effective immediately, that impacts approximately 12% of the Company's current staff. Moving forward, Inspirato's headcount consists of more than 800 dedicated hospitality professionals, an increase of over 300 employees compared to December 2020.

"We took this step to help reduce costs as we manage Inspirato responsibly in the face of ongoing macroeconomic uncertainty," said Brent Handler, Inspirato's Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer.

We believe this reduction will help us achieve our goal of Adjusted EBITDA breakeven in 2023 while continuing to deliver the service and certainty that our Inspirato subscribers expect whenever they travel with us."

The Company will provide further details when it reports financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2022 later this year.
