WHAT IS FUTOURIST?
https://futourist.io/ https://futourist.io/ico https://futourist.io/whitepaperFutourist is the first travel review platform that rewards you for your reviews with crypto tokens.
On Futourist you will be able to claim the newly introduced Futourist Tokens (FTR) in return for your reviews of travel services and places, depending on the quality of that review (community upvotes).

VISION
Did you know that the online content marketing industry is expected to generate more than $300 billion (!) in revenue by the year 2019 (source)? But when it comes to sharing that revenue, content creators tend not the be a part of the story at all! Futourist's team is here to change that! Our vision is to bring fairness to online content creation by creating an economy where creators are financially rewarded for their content with Futourist Tokens (FTR).
Why travel reviews?
Because they're one of the most trustworthy and helpful information on the internet. They shape how we see things on a daily basis and most importantly - they're directly related to business revenue. The number of written reviews has reached 500 million on TripAdvisor alone. According to recent statistics, 90% of consumers read online reviews, and 88% of them trust them (source).
Furthermore, 89% of consumers say they read more than 2 reviews (source).
Travel review industry is big and hasn't been disturbed in a long time. Platforms are failing to embrace new technologies and the whole field is stagnating. On top of rewarding reviewers with tokens, we'll be focusing on video reviews and catering influencers - things no other review platform has successfully exploited.

Futourist for a consumer - Search, watch, visit
Participants in the ecosystem
Reviewer - is a registered user that provides content (reviews)
Curator - a registered user that reads the content and uses upvotes to reward his/her preferred reviews or other content (can be a Reviewer as well)
Consumer - users who do not contribute to the platform but consume information from it
Business - a company who uses Futourist in order to spread awareness / make direct sales / get other benefits like audience analytics etc.
Contests - core feature
The Futourist platform will reward reviewers for participation in time-limited reviewing contests. Having limited time period contests allows us to distribute tokens in a straight-forward way - after the end of the contest, to all content creators which participated, with a predefined token distribution curve. After the contest ends, all applicable reviews will be sorted by their upvotes and downvotes. Then we're going to use the Pareto principle on these reviews in order to distribute rewards as fairly as possible.
