Smart Trip Platform
4 min readMay 28, 2018

With all the fantastic trip-planning features that Smart Trip Platform will have, it will certainly win the hearts of tech-savvy travelers. Indeed, you’ll be able to search for and book all kinds of travel services, chat with travel businesses and other users, browse our travel guides, ask for advice, use ready-made trip itineraries, buy tickets, and much more. However, the usefulness of our platform isn’t limited to online features! Quite the contrary. Once on the road, you will find that Smart Trip Platform will guide you, help you every step of the way, and even keep you out of trouble.

First of all, here is a reminder of the mini-modules that are designed to help you out in real life.

1) Currency converter — you won’t need to worry about money calculations when booking services on the platform, since all the prices will be automatically displayed in your chosen currency and TASH. However, once you are traveling and getting something to eat or bargaining for souvenirs, for example, having a fast and light currency converter will be essential.

2) Weather app — a wise traveler should always be ready to tweak his or her itinerary if the weather changes. For example, if you learn that rain is coming, don’t plan a tour of a city’s squares, streets, or other outdoor attractions — go to the museums instead! Our weather feature will not only provide accurate hourly forecasts from the most reliable supplier. It will have information on the water temperature for beach destinations, snow & avalanche danger bulletins for mountain locations, hurricane warnings, and so on.

3) Emergency assistance — we do hope that all your trips will go smoothly, but hey, unpleasant stuff does happen. Sometimes users get lost when hiking, or unfriendly locals steal their wallets, or they get in trouble with the police for crossing the road in a non-designated spot, or lose their passports… If you don’t know the language and are unsure where to go or who to call, then our Emergency feature will prove crucial. First of all, our platform will provide all the necessary urgent info: phone numbers for the police, tourist police, your insurance company (if you have uploaded your insurance details when planning your trip), and the nearest consulate of your country. Next, we will implement a special emergency chat and helpline.

4) Dangers and annoyances — while you cannot fully eliminate the risk of being mugged or losing your documents, you can considerably reduce it with some proper research before your trip. We will introduce a special module — a danger guide of sorts! Like most other parts of our huge knowledge base, this feature will be compiled and expanded by users themselves. After all, locals know best what kind of dangers lurk in particular areas of their city, and first-hand accounts of tourists who have been robbed or ran into trouble are the most reliable evidence. Same as with other features of Smart Trip Platform, the Danger & Annoyance guide will bring benefits to users to compile it: you will get activity points for adding new info.

Apart from these specially designed mini-apps, two other modules of Smart Trip Platform will be of great help on any trip. First, our instant translator service — which will include voice translation — will certainly become one of your most used tools on the road. It will help you make yourself understood in hotels, restaurants, bus stations, visa extension offices, markets… No more fumbling through the pages of a phrase book. No need to embarrass yourself trying to read unknown words out loud. Our translator will write and read things out for you. As always, we will include our community in the creation of our language database: users will be able to compile their own phrasebooks, with sentences sorted out by topic, so that in many standard situations you won’t even need to type the whole phrase — you’ll just pick it from a list.

Finally, let’s not forget that Smart Trip Platform will help you find new friends. Our user search function will allow you to browse users in the same location and initiate chats with them, or join chatrooms in a selected city to check if anyone is willing to hang out, join a tour or continue the trip together. This way, if you are traveling alone and would like to find someone to explore the city with, Smart Trip Platform will be your best bet!

Do you have any ideas on how we can make our platform even more offline-friendly? Then share them here or on our Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/STplatform/ and Telegram t.me/st_platform.

And don’t forget: we are more than halfway through our token pre-sale, but you can still get a great 14% discount on TASH tokens if you buy them today on our official site: smarttripplatform.io
