This travel platform will provide collaborative and blockchain-stored resources to solve the current industry barriers

While traveling is an experience oft romanticized, the reality is often a stark contrast. Navigating the major travel platforms and being confronted with last minute hidden fees, exorbitant transaction costs, and frustrating payment options are among the list of obstacles that face even the savviest of travelers.

With the current bulk of travel related resources dominated by a few select giants, a blockchain-based travel resource hub connecting both travelers and tourism resource providers aims to empower both sides through a shared and incentivized travel platform to make vacation planning cost-effective and convenient.

Tripedia takes this approach with several unique elements in their platform including a distributed data storage and P2P transmission along with a consensus mechanism and encryption algorithm for security and verification.

Information sharing for efficiency and accuracy

The Tripedia platform will provide a direct connection to travel resource suppliers in order to avoid the cumbersome and unnecessarily expensive process of going through travel agency websites. This travel information hub will provide unparalleled cost efficiency and help accommodate the specific needs of travelers worldwide.

Tripedia equips users with a digital ID and private key in order to securely transmit their personalized travel needs which will be matched with the ideal suppliers. Once an agreement is made, a contract is established and suppliers receive tokens.

In order to combat the dilemma of fake or deliberately malicious reviews, tokens must be staked in order to place a pending review on the sidechain for verification. If the review is deemed to be valid, the user will receive their token deposit along with token rewards and the review will be verified on the mainchain.

Advanced tech for travel planning customization

A unique feature called the Artificial Intelligence Travel Designer will spearhead Tripedia’s efforts to provide balanced and carefully customized travel packages for people looking to incorporate specific sights, attractions, and activities. Once a specific request is made, the AITD will access service nodes to scour previous information provided by users to customize a tailor-made and verifiable itinerary that best meets the specific objectives.

As the ecosystem continues to develop, the self-learning AITD’s effectiveness will enhance exponentially as it gains access to an even more extensive travel database. The combination of blockchain and deep learning tech will unlock Distributed Online Incremental Learning to facilitate the extraction of quality information from the constant flow of data.

This will combat the high costs associated with traditional routes such as tour guides, many of whom lack the diverse and extensive knowledge base to adequately meet these needs.

Exceeding the boundaries of a travel currency

TPD tokens provide a stable and convenient travel currency for a worry-free excursion. They also serve multiple roles such as enabling monetization of travel knowledge and insights through dApp advertising services on the platform. An API interface through the upper DAPP enables quick access for both travelers and tourism resource providers.

The POC (Proof of Contribution) algorithm will promote continued growth by rewarding contributions such as purchasing a service or receiving a positive review. Other actions such as contributing valuable resources will also earn rewards as incentives are aimed at promoting the cost-effective and diverse services of the Tripedia ecosystem.

Through the establishment of a communal travel resource database and innovative features like the AITD, Tripedia will solve the pressing issues of the tourism industry with their competitive and highly secure travel solution.

TPD tokens can be purchased during the May 30 IEO on ProBit Exchange: https://www.probit.com/en-us/ieo/tpd-round1/0
