When Blockchain meets Tourism. ~Using Blockchain to enhance Travel Experiences.
The problem TourValue solves
I have chosen the topic Open Innovation and under that I have taken Tourism. My main aim is to provide a wonderful experience to the tourists and the locals by integrating blockchain technology to revolutionize the way we travel. For this, I am considering four aspects:
- Customer Identification - We can eliminate verification at multiple stages using Blockchain and hence saving time at multiple checkpoints.
- Secure Transactions - We can use Cryptocurrency to pay directly between two parties without any third party online payment system.
- Baggage Management - Blockchain data can be used to identify and monitor the luggage and stop worrying about mishandling.
- Customer rewards and Ratings - Reward customer with cryptocurrency so that they are encouraged to do future travel plans with us. And as for ratings, nowadays we notice fake ratings increasing just to build the popularity of a particular service/product. Using blockchain, we could make sure that the ratings are transparent and true.
Challenges I ran into
This is the first time I'm venturing in the Blockchain domain. I got to learn a lot doing the same. It was fun and motivating to learn something new even though it came up with its own challenges.
My main motive was to provide solution for all the four aspects mentioned above and integrate those in one platform. But due to the time constraint, I wasn't able to complete the goal I had in my mind. And hence I compiled what I planned to achieve and what progress I had done so far in the weblink specified below. I had also walk through those challenges in the video I uploaded.
My project might not be the perfect example of what I had envisioned it to be and there is still some work left to do but I tried my best to complete in the given timeframe.
