The industry alone for vacations is valued at over $1 trillion dollars a year (US) and the travel industry as a whole makes up for 10% of world spending at over $7.6 trillion. Travelcoin is the first of its kind specifically designed to connect the block chain and travel. If you’re an avid traveler, investor, trader, or speculator it’s tough to ignore the potential of the block chain in the travel industry.
Travelcoin dives into a worldwide travel industry for the everyday commute as well as the vacation get away. Say goodbye to paying hidden fees, double booking seats, points you can’t spend, and say hello to real time booking and the lowest fee’s in the market.
Major travel outlet sites like Expedia/hotels.com/Trivago/Travelocity etc charge a minimum of 7.5% fee for booking through their website. Travelcoin will have the lower fee than the other top 5 travel sites combined while offering a platform that incorporates all forms of travel and many improvements to today’s major travel sites.
We are in the biggest currency shift in human history and Travelcoin is going to be the biggest travel smart contract system in the world. Travelcoin smart tokens will be used in the travel industry and bring all travel ecosystems together with a public travel blockchain. The future will be space flights, air travel, drones and self-driving cars. To meet future demands Team Travelcoin has positioned itself to meet the future travel needs of humanity.

No double booking: Using Travelcoin’s smart contract system and the speed of the blockchain you’ll never have to worry about double booking again.

Growing up in a period of rapid technological as well as cultural change has shaped the youngest generation, the Millennials. The craving for exploring unique cultures as well as the desire for unique experience often drives Millennials’ travel. They desire authenticity, whether via utilizing public transportation or even through eating typical local cookeries.
Travel statistics reveal that 90% of the millennials book travel online, with 87% of these utilizing digital tools in order to compare options. Often, the millennials are highly influenced by their social networks, depending on recommendation as well as images posted by others to choose their destinations. Travel to global destinations provides them with exciting images to post on their feeds.
Providing transparent, self-serve booking experiences meet the millennials’ need for autonomy. Since this generation is extremely conversant with technology and relies a lot on the internet, Travelcoin can make travel easier for them in general. It can offer them the option to pay using digital currency, implying that they will not need to worry about currency conversion and exchange rates while traveling abroad. It can also give them the self-serve booking experience they desire since a lot of them own smartphones.
Additional Travelcoin Values
Overall, the Travel industry continues to grow by 4% annually and plays a major role in creating jobs and entrepreneurship opportunities globally. Countries gain important revenue as well as exposure to their culture and heritage.
Due to the different systems and the large size of the network, there exist some inefficiencies or pain points in the travel industry that require improvement in process and communication. This would ensure that things are made easier for the traveler or even businesses associated within this sector.
One of these pain problems is the currency conversion dilemma. By offering cryptocurrency, Travelcoin will ensure that travelers avoid the currency conversion charges. Another major benefit of this is that carrying a lot of cash will be needless, which is extremely convenient when travelers are traveling in foreign countries.
Travelcoin also makes travel easier by helping travelers avoid bank fees associated with withdrawing money from an ATM or even utilizing credit cards in foreign countries. Additionally, a big problem experienced by tourists is the unavailability of ATMs that support their cards. Travelcoin helps avoid this problem. When paying using debit cards or even credit cards, an individual is forced to share their information with merchants. At times, these merchants cannot be trusted with our banking information. There’s a high risk of such information being leaked either deliberately or unintentionally. This big security threat by itself should be enough to convince people to utilize our digital currency since it is relatively safer.
Areas of Integration
Here at Travelcoin we’re invested into creating a travel platform like no other, with integration of all major sites and travel medians combined onto one platform.
Travelcoin will invest heavily into end user compatibility and liquidity. We have great partners and are working with more big-name travel agency brands to participate in Travelcoin’s ecosystem and provide integration systems.
The dot-com era allowed for advancements of online ticket buying systems and allowed for more convenience and flexibility however these systems are silos and each has its own database. Travelcion will connect these siloed systems to a single world travelcoin smart contract cryptocurrency.
Travelcoin provides a digital currency that can be universally acceptable in all travel systems including buses, bike rentals, cars, taxis, rideshare services, plane, delivery, and space systems. Therefore, it makes it convenient to use one integrated public blockchain travel system and save companies and consumers money.
