Traveling to a new region is always an exciting and memorable experience. Whether it’s exploring a historical landmark or stumbling upon a local musician’s performance, the joy of immersing oneself in the essence of a tourist destination is what keeps the travel industry thriving.
However, as the idea of visiting a new region starts to become a reality, travelers quickly realize that planning and organizing the trip can be more challenging than they anticipated. Despite the digital advancements in the industry, travel systems still operate on a regional scale, making it difficult for travel agencies, attractions, and vendors to market their offerings to a global audience. This limited reach not only hinders their growth but also makes it hard to replicate successful sales.
For travelers, this means dealing with complicated booking processes that require multiple apps and services. Additionally, the lack of transparency and traceability in the travel experience can create potential risks, especially for those visiting a region for the first time.
Fortunately, blockchain technology is here to revolutionize the travel industry and provide a seamless solution for integrating local offerings with global platforms. VisitorApp, a blockchain-powered ticketing solution, is leading the way in simplifying regional travel for both travelers and industry participants.
Using Camino Network, the first blockchain designed specifically for the travel industry, VisitorApp offers users a convenient one-stop shop for discovering and purchasing local offerings directly from regional vendors. Over the course of four years, the VisitorApp team has developed regional platforms and mobile apps for cities, regions, and event organizers.
VisitorApp’s hybrid approach combines the best of Web2 and Web3 technologies, allowing users to register and make purchases using fiat currency, tokens, blockchain wallets, and conventional e-ticketing solutions. As part of their vision to bridge the gap between Web2 and Web3, VisitorApp is working on integrating crypto payments. Every purchased experience is presented as a non-fungible token (NFT) ticket through Camino Network, providing transparent and verifiable proof of purchase.
During the recent Decode Travel hackathon, VisitorApp’s application was put into practice, allowing event participants to mint their event tickets on Camino Network via VisitorApp. This successful implementation showcased the real-world potential of the platform for travel tech developers.
Camino Network is accessible to all travel industry stakeholders, enabling regional vendors to connect with a global hub. While users experience a simple and user-friendly front-end application, blockchain technology ensures secure and seamless global communication in the background.
VisitorApp is also working on integrating with Camino Messenger, which will give regional offers direct access to the global Camino Network, making regional attractions visible to a wider audience. This integration is crucial in connecting regional activities with the global travel market.
Customers can purchase various offers from different vendors across different regions and store them in their mobile VisitorApp Wallet within their travel folder. The platform also supports white labeling, allowing destinations and regions to create their own customized ecosystem based on their specific needs.
By leveraging the power of Camino Network, VisitorApp fosters trust through transparency and traceability. Every transaction, whether it’s a ticket purchase, tour booking, or activity reservation, is authenticated and traceable, creating a new level of trust between service providers and travelers.
Stefan Follmer, Chief Operating Officer of VisitorApp, highlights the lack of improvements in the tourism market for tickets, tours, and activities, particularly in smaller and less professionally marketed destinations. He believes that VisitorApp, powered by Camino Network, has only scratched the surface of what can be achieved in the travel industry. The app offers a secure and reliable experience while creating personalized and memorable experiences for travelers around the world.
