Ilya Orlov, one of the founders of TravelChain, a decentralized data exchange for the travel industry, believes that Blockchain technology offers a tremendous opportunity to market players. the travel industry. Travelers can now earn money by sharing their experience directly and securely with travel companies, and businesses can integrate new products and services using Blockchain.

Fast and Powerful

Ilya Orlov The TravelChain platform has its own Graphene-based Blockchain, which allows travel companies to integrate into the system and create their own commercial models in addition to the platform provided by TC

"Blockchain is Graphene-based Blockchain allows users to make public information available for each part of the system, while encrypting private information The individual users have the private keys of their data in order to control the secure storage in real time Ilya Orlov adds:

"At this moment, there is no blockchain faster and more powerful than graphene, in addition the community of this technology is ideologically close to us, we share and build the hypothesis.

Another Side of the Medal

While planning a trip, travelers browse hundreds of websites, blogs, forums, articles, reviews, watch videos. All this content is created for free by millions of people because they want to share their experience with their friends, colleagues or even the whole world. But it does not come to them in the mind that they create value and get no reward for it. That's exactly why TravelChain is designed: to change this experience for the better.

However, traveling companions are not the only ones to benefit from the platform. Small and medium-sized businesses can cut costs by half, improve and target their supply, and continually grow by using the data that users are willing to sell.

Ilya explains how it works

"Traveler Passport" is a key element in the operation of TravelChain. It is a distributed trust model that allows you to form an image of another person without knowing yourself personally. "

The idea is to collect such profiles called" passports "by motivating travelers to share their information in exchange for a reward. Users get travel tokens for share information such as preferences (in food or entertainment, for example), location, way of living and traveling, etc. The question that arises is who needs these data. "

Orlov states that the main consumers of this information are travel companies, also using the TravelShain platform. These companies will buy data from potential customers with travel tokens, and travelers, at their end, will receive travel tokens as a reward. Here is the explanation of how this works with a real example:

"For example, let's say you have a vegetarian restaurant, thanks to TravelChain you will discover that there are 150 vegetarians currently living in the neighborhood.You can purchase more specific data like their tastes and preferences in exchange for travel chips.Once you get the information, users will receive the tokens as a reward. "

According to Orlov, data is a private problem. Travelers may be reluctant to share their personal information with the third party. He believes that the user must decide what information he is willing to share and with what categories of colleagues. In addition, once shared, personal data will be as safe as it could be using Blockchain.

The Road Before

Orlov says, the Blockchain universe is evolving in the travel industry, TravelChain makes it possible to: integrate new products and services without excessive investment costs or implementation efforts too complicated.

"We have ambitious plans for 2018. The key point is that we are not competing with anyone, we are striving to better integrate the market and services."

Currently, one of the main priorities of TravelChain is to integrate with travel companies.As of now, they have an agreement with IZI.Travel, tourister.ru, tvil.ru, d & # 39; Other agreements are under discussion and will be announced soon.

Another step in the list is their integration with EOS.io Infrastructure for Decentralized Applications. <br /> <br /> TravelChain plans to allocate smart contracts for most applications. of the Travel Chain Platform on EOS

In summary, Orlov explained his perspective on the future of humanity through Blockchain development:

] platforms like TravelChain could completely ch ange the landscape of the travel market with users taking an active part in value creation, communication and data sharing by directly avoiding intermediaries and aggregators. "
