Start a Blockchain powered Travel Data Exchange Platform
Travel data Exchange on a decentralized blockchain-based platform is built to serve as a data exchange for the travel industry.
Limited access to the data of consumers or travellers has irked the small and medium-sized businesses and this led to the proposition of the platform which puts forth the idea of a global database that contains the most comprehensive and fair information about suppliers and consumers of the travel market.
Did you know? Most of the personal user data and their preferences are hidden under the intermediaries like Google, Amazon etc. which are corporates ruling the area of interest. Data collected is insufficient to deliver a better experience to the traveller, because it lacks customization and has only assumptions.
The business community loses track of their customers after they have made their purchase and spends more money to attract new ones. This blockchain based platform is a solution that encourages users to share their data and preferences directly to the travel specialists and thereby avoiding the need for accepting a package delivered blindfolded. It gives users the authority to manage their own data thereby enforcing Privacy and Security, and that’s their Mission. It is also an open source data exchange platform which is governed by its users and no central authority.
