What are the applications of blockchain in tourism? What problems can be solved

in the tourism instry, big data maturity, bundling and price increase, and information opacity have become the pain points of the current instry. When Ctrip becomes a channel brand and a dominant company, the so-called decentralization gives other similar companies the opportunity to decentralize the channels

at present, many technology start-ups are focusing on the technology of blockchain, because it will subvert many instries, including banking, health care, ecation and tourism. In fact, blockchain startups received about $1.8 billion in investment in 2017

blockchain in the tourism instry

I believe that everyone who goes out to travel will encounter some inconvenient things more or less. Even if they have made full preparations in the early stage, there will still be some other things that will affect the whole travel experience and mood. For example, long lines of security checks, identification ready, and being asked to give up a seat voluntarily e to overbooking

Secondly, there will be fraud, which is very important. The annual loss of travel agencies is as high as 0.44%, and 4% of the plane bookings are rejected e to fraud. All of these problems will cost the tourism instry 4.8 billion dollars every year

and blockchain can solve these problems well. The following are the application cases of blockchain in tourism

According to statistics, up to 40 million travel documents have been recorded as lost or stolen in recent years. However, through biometrics and blockchain, identity and travel files can be recorded and stored permanently, which can be accessed with a single click. We don't have to print multiple documents for multiple checkpoints on the trip. Credit card information can also be easily stored. Airplanes, hotels and passports can streamline travelers' equipment, and government agencies can handle tourists more safely

2. Smart contract

blockchain has been used to consolidate the contract between enterprises, and neither party can change the terms. In the tourism instry, there is a huge space for smart contracts. Travelers and travel agents will record all transactions in one block; Loyalty programs and tourist points can be stored in blocks; The commission agreement among airlines, hotels and booking agents will also clearly distinguish who gets the fee and when; The company agreement signed with the travel agency can be preserved forever without doubt or hidden expenses

3. Avoiding fraud

as far as I know, there were about 55 million consumers booking third-party platforms that they thought belonged to hotels last year. In fact, these websites were operated by fraudsters. It not only caused the direct loss of consumers, but also affected the reputation of the hotel concerned

if it is applied to blockchain technology, it will effectively solve the above problems and help consumers verify ownership. In addition, with the characteristics of storing documents and identities in block form, travel agencies do not need to manually check whether these reservations are marked as potential fraud. Tourist information can be safely accessed through the blockchain, and the loss caused by fraud will be significantly reced

4. Overbooking

this is an old headache for tourists who may be kicked off the plane because no one is willing to give up their seats. The government is even taking regulatory measures to punish airlines for such acts. Through the blockchain, passengers will have higher security, their reservations will be stored in a block safely, and airlines will be forced to give up the practice of overbooking

in addition, tourism involves various service instries, and there are many different consumption points plans in the process of travel. It's just that all kinds of scoring systems are complicated and isolated from each other, and customers don't know the details very well. This not only affects the interests of customers, but also brings trouble to tourism companies. If we use the blockchain technology to unify these points plans into the shared ledger, and use a wallet to manage points, we may be able to solve these long-standing problems

3. 1. Consumption points management
leou online culture and tourism platform is the world's first blockchain tourism platform covering six tourism fields, such as food, housing, transportation, tourism, shopping and entertainment. It transforms the old points system of enterprises to a certain extent and transforms it into new points independently issued by enterprises with blockchain as the underlying technology, realizing free trading and exchange of points, Make the best use of the service and function of points, help the service providers to achieve customer drainage, and help the tourism consumers to obtain greater benefits

3. Loyalty program of hotels and airlines
loyyal is a general loyalty reward platform based on blockchain and smart contract technology. It proposed to use blockchain technology to make tourists better obtain loyalty points in 2016 instry Theme Conference held by Du Yacht Hotel, so as to promote the development of tourism instry. In addition, Singapore Airlines (SIA) also announced in 2018 that it will launch a customer loyalty KrisFlyer program based on blockchain for Airbus
4. Track pilot's professional certificate and qualification

Airbus, a participant of hyperledger blockchain alliance, is also exploring the possibility of blockchain application. The test project is to track pilot's professional certificate and qualification by using blockchain
5. Credit consumption management
on the airbnb platform, reputation is extremely important. Only when the user's reputation reaches a certain level can he rent a specific type of house. Airbnb uses blockchain technology to better establish the reputation platform of merchants and passengers, and also to effectively store identity information
6. Digital identity authentication
Joanne Zen, founder of backpack chain in New Zealand, is leading the team to create BTA system, which combines the underlying blockchain technology with Internet application to create personal electronic digital identity authentication. When users register in the backpack chain app, in addition to the conventional registration process, they also need to scan the user's passport and upload face recognition information, which proces the unique mobile personal ID information in the world. Each ID information owner will have a string of keys, which only the information owner knows
7. Verify housing information
airbnb provides more than 2 million housing information from 191 countries and has received 60 million customers. P2P hotel website has achieved some success in optimizing the one-stop process of hotel leasing. It is also exploring the verification of housing information, establishing a short message communication system to enable customers to communicate with homeowners, and improving the payment experience
8. Electronic identity management
in Estonia, blockchain technology has been applied to the development of electronic identity projects. It is reported that non Estonian residents are allowed to apply for e-citizenship in the country, similar to a permanent residence card or identity card, which enables these residents to enjoy a series of services provided by the country. At present, Estonia uses this program to encourage talented people from all over the world to start their own businesses. Such plans will greatly promote the development of tourism in some destinations. You can pay more attention to bitMom

4. Taking tourism as an example, the application of blockchain mainly focuses on tourism travel, tourism community comments, digital identity management, credit consumption management, tracking pilot's professional certificate and qualification, loyalty plan of hotels and airlines, reservation management and consumption points management. In addition, with the development of blockchain, many related top domain names have been registered, which has a great impact on the domain name instry. In addition, blockchain also has applications in finance, games, entertainment and other fields.

5. Hello, I'd like to remind you with a friend who is playing lightcoin. You'd better not take care of this thing
this is not an investment, but a high-risk speculative game. The instry is in chaos
at present, I am losing 60% of my capital. It's a bloody game.

8. At present, the largest tourism blockchain found on the Internet is GTCC global tourism chain. In order to extract and sort out a very professional introction, one of the most obvious features of blockchain is decentralization as a distributed ledger. In fact, the tourism instry has a long instrial chain, and many intermediate links are involved in the transaction process. Although the application of blockchain is still in the primary stage, it may become the mainstream in the tourism instry in the next few years, which can save billions of dollars in costs for tourism enterprises every year in terms of payment and liquidation. Therefore, both OTA, hotels, airlines, software service providers and emerging blockchain start-ups are trying to use blockchain technology to apply blockchain technology to settlement, reservation process, inventory management, loyalty point management, smart contract, baggage tracking, identity recognition, etc. Advantages: block chain technology is used to eliminate the phenomenon of cheating and killing customers on the way to travel; Thoroughly remove the intermediary link, so that tourists and businesses directly trade; Let every travel share become a digital asset and have value forever; Travel smart partner, travel more convenient; To like to travel, the pursuit of high quality of life groups to provide the edge of tourism, while making new life choices..
