TOKENSALE: BOOKIQS (IQS TOKEN)

What is Bookiqs?
Bookiqs is more than a decentralized peer-to-peer market for hotel bookings. Bookiqs provides better review systems, real room availability information and reduced costs for all market participants. And the best of all: We put our Blockchain technology into practice with user interfaces for guests and hotel owners, a free state-of-the-art hotel magement system and a build-in fiat currency exchange/

No Booking Fees
We believe that booking fees are a business model of the past. Bookiqs will not be charging suppliers any commission fees.

Reliable reviews
Reviews are no longer subjected to commercial incentives to let someone book an hotel room. Real reviews in the blockchain makes Bookiqs unique since there’s currently no fully-independent solution in the current market.

Real room availability
Current intermediaries have a huge interest in pushing the consumer to a room booking where the commission are the highest. With Bookiqs, room availabilities are never fake or used as an marketing tactic. Consumers and hotelkeepers just have a real-time insights in the actual inventory.

Key features

Booking.com look-a-like web UI
On top of our Bookiqs Blockchain Network we’re developing a ready-to-market platform where all market participants can book rooms, update room inventories and enjoy the benefits of better conditions for the market.

SaaS: Blockchain-ready Hotel Management for free
Furthermore we plan to connect an state-of-the-art hotel management SaaS system with Bookiqs blockchain integration into the Bookiqs booking portal. By making the integration we’re enabling hotel owners to fully-automate bookings and room availabilities on Bookiqs.com and across multiple channels.

Skipping the traditional check-in
With mobile apps and the NFC chip it is possible to let your guests check-in directly into their room with their phone. Skipping the traditional desk check-in is easier for your guests and save hostes costs.

Ah, clever! All three methods outlined in the whitepaper explain how you can make money.

Is there a minimum amount you can accept for investment? I plan to buy, but not all the tokens I wanted at once.

Didn't see how many tokens you have for this.
You need a lot of money to spin-off, unlike SOJ project - one of the competitors,they didn't do ICO or crowdsale thing but they pulled it off.
So I don't believe that you need that much money to launch this project. Or because you are not charging booking fees that's why you want to earn money this way.

Did you read our white paper? SOJ is totally different...

- We will start a block chain driven booking platform (including mobile apps)
- We will develop a fully loaded free to use SaaS hotel management platform (to get hotel owners easier on board)
- There will be need for a marketplace for hotel owners to withdraw local currencies.
- QR support for easier check-ins.
- NFC support to access your room without badges or keys.

Does the NFC check in mean guests wouldn't need to show up at the hotel's reception? Would they be able to go to their rooms directly?

According to our vision you will only need to show the QR at the reception. The NFC part is to access your room without badge or key. But it's perfectly possible to communicate the room number within the user environment and enable access to the specific room without visiting the reception.

Yes, with the API other platforms can take some advantage of the available data like reviews and availability.

You could charge for API access or even provide a way to share benefits with the API users. That way the websites would make you earn while they're earning, creating yet another revenue stream.

Hence it is based on the block chain will the booking price for everyone equal?
Also like a travel agencie do you plan to manage flights too?

Yes, you can consider it as an open book construction. Maybe we can put such data is the chain in the future, but for now we are focusing on hotels only.

How do you plan to reach the hotels? Booking.com is so powerful not because of cheap prices, but because they've manage to link 90%+ of the popular hotels into their network. Beside reaching the hotels, I like the idea because booking.com is taking 12%-25% from owners for their service and this is too much!

- We will release a fully loaded SaaS solution for hotel owners with automatic listing on our platform.
- Things will go fast with low fee construction.
- Other companies can advantage of the API (with fee).

Bittrex and Poloniex should be the priority for long-term. To start you can contact YoBit and similar ones.

Allocating a % to marketing is a must.

Decentralized booking platform would be shit. Some sectors need centalized platforms. We need like booking.com support and their investigation on the hotel. Without them we might choose fake hotels.

Knockdown argument.. You can say that about other blockchain based applicaitions, like: Advertising need intermediaries because fake publisher can appear....

The most blockchain platforms tackle this issue by using reviews/scores on top of the monetary receiver. We also used this tactic (and a few others) with Bookiqs. Read our whitepaper and you will find out that Bookiqs is pretty awesome ;)

Reviews should prevent that.

Also public key authentication can ensure the hotel is real.

Bittrex and Poloniex are our of range in next year. Bittrex doesn't add new coins from months. Poloniex is dying after they killed the trollbox.

IMO much more important is to have a good approach to hotel/apartment owners. For example, in Greece and Croatia you are having much more private apartments/houses for rents than hotels and usually owners thinks that crypto-currencies are pyramids  to such their money.
