To the OP, Bitcoin tourism isn't about people selling travel services via bitcoin. Bitcoin tourism is about people going on vacation, being tourists to locations that are historic for Bitcoin or doing some work (while on vacation) to advance the Bitcoin project.
You can do that in our city; we have the world's first Bitcoin ATM, first Indian restaurant to accept Bitcoin, etc. But how will you get here? You're going to use fiat? Don't make Satoshi cry
........The idea was, we want people from other countries to be able to visit us without having to interact with overpriced currency exchanges or banking institutions. The plan is to start by hitting resorts, where tourists are plentiful per capita, and the expenses more justified.
.......ClickJett, which lets you book travel and accommodations (among other things) using Bitcoin. Once you get there, he has another company called Logicoins that operates an ATM specialized for crypto selling, so that you can convert to local currency for use at places not accepting crypto, yet. ......
i don't quite understand this. what is the difference between the two parts of what you said? i mean what is the benefit of the second one
if you want to use their local fiat isn't it easier to but with cash at your homeland and then travel there and not pay fees to their ATM which you might not find everywhere?
Then you have to talk to a traditional currency exchange, and those guys are jerks. If other cities follow our lead and put Bitcoin ATMs everywhere, then the crypto alternative becomes convenient. What we really need, though is to get one at the airport--they haven't let us do that, yet, but if they did, you could exchange upon landing and taking off, leaving no local fiat behind to be wasted.
