Block chain sharing travel
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 yearand 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 safely2. 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
the two Internet hotspots, blockchain and sharing economy, happen to have sufficient "cooperation space". With the development from theory to practice, the instry has made a lot of bold explorations about the two, and even some challenges to the traditional business model have emerged. In this way, the sharing economy with blockchain will be a new business model and a new subversion of interpersonal relationship. I plan to invest in the blockchain instry. After all, in the Internet era, I searched Guangzhou Xuanling Technology Co., Ltd. on the Internet and looked at the webpage. They are a company engaged in software blockchain intelligent contract development. There are many development cases, and the team is also strong.
there are a few differences in investment targets, and the closure period is not the same, the others are almost the same.
the essence of sharing economy is to share information and resources seamlessly, directly and efficiently among strangers, so as to create value beneficial to both sides. To achieve this goal, the prerequisite is to trust each other and know the root. But since they are strangers, where does mutual trust come from? As a result, platforms that provide a sense of trust and promise fulfillment emerge as the times require - airbnb, Uber and didi taxi are among the best. By building and maintaining technology platforms, they aggregate, reorganize and allocate scattered resources and demands, verify the true identities, professional qualifications and background information of suppliers and demanders, provide transaction information, payment tools and comment records, and finally facilitate the transaction between the two parties
in the future of sharing economy, we must open up the channel of mutual trust at the indivial level, and blockchain is the key to open the channel. Sharing economy model is a new business model with P2P as the center, while blockchain is an innovative digital technology that drives comprehensive P2P transactions. Both of them expose their own loopholes and risks, and have great room for improvement and a long period of improvement. Blockchain and sharing economy can be mutual partners or competitors. Whether it is an enemy or a friend depends on the attitude and perspective of the authorities - whether they should take the initiative to consolidate and strengthen their advantages by taking the initiative to embrace each other, or whether they should wait for the day of marginalization? Airbnb, the leading enterprise of sharing economy, chose the former
decent can also be regarded as a kind of sharing economy project or a blockchain project.
