Ecosystem update: Cruise module implemented

Ecosystem update: Cruise module implemented

Progress
Over the last 10 months, Tratok's developers have been hard at work implementing cruise rentals into the ecosystem for our travelers to benefit from. Two months ago, they finished the first iteration and testing on a small scale took place. Today, we are happy to announce that the ecosystem now features cruises on all seven continents during all four seasons for all manner of cruises. Be it budget or luxury, river or ocean, coastal or transocean, Tratok has it! What does our current inventory look like? At the time of writing, the ecosystem features 2,513 unique cruises (not counting cruises that have multiple excursion times).   [foogallery id="7323"]     The successful integration of this latest plugin into the Tratok Ecosystem is just another step in realizing the community's dreams…

Ecosystem update: Inter-user communication updated with multi language support

Ecosystem update: Inter-user communication updated with multi language support

Progress
In our last update for the social module plugin for the ecosystem, the Team had promised the userbase an improved method of communication following their feedback. The Team is delighted to announce that we have now delivered on this promise and implemented this functionality into the ecosystem for all users of the Tratok Travel APP and Tratok Travel PWA. Introducing TratChat, a lightweight, secure and privacy compliant chat application that is built into the ecosystem to allow communication between all users in real-time. The functionality of TratChat will bring our users multiple benefits: It will increase social interaction between users and encourage the making of friends all around the world. It will enhance communication between clients and service providers, reducing misunderstands and ensuring more complete information and a better experience…

Ecosystem update: Tratok now supports 10 major languages

Ecosystem update: Tratok now supports 10 major languages

Progress
It has always been Tratok’s intention to be the world’s travel token. We could not claim this to be an ambition without supporting multiple languages. This would be hypocritical and a falsehood. Users of the ecosystem would have realized that over the last year we have been adding full support and translation for multiple of the world’s major languages. Today we are happy to announce that the total amount of languages supported by the ecosystem has now reached double digits. At 10, it might be the smallest of the double digits but it is a start and a sign of things to come. We currently support the following languages: Arabic English French Spanish German Russian Hindi Japanese Korean Turkish   We look forward to multiplying this number even more in…

Ecosystem update: Car rental module implemented

Ecosystem update: Car rental module implemented

Progress
One of the easiest ways to get around when traveling is of course via automobile. While for short distances one can resort to the use of a public taxi (another ambition for Tratok to implement), should your needs be longer-term it can be far more economical to have your own method of transportation at your disposal. Seeing as how it is very unlikely that you packed one in your suitcase, Tratok is happy to accommodate. Today the Team is proud to announce the implementation of the car and transport rental service module into the overall travel ecosystem. Over the last two years, we have been working out partnerships with service providers in order to bring the best deals to consumers and over the last quarter we have been hard at…

Updates for consumers implemented following stakeholder feedback

Updates for consumers implemented following stakeholder feedback

Progress
One of the core commitments of Tratok is to put great importance on user feedback. We understand that the most important aspect of the ecosystem is the users and will always strive to provide the features that they want. Last quarter the two most requested features for the social ecosystem plugin were: The ability to share images on each user’s wall and to share their adventures with their friends on the ecosystem. To make the inter-user communication module less email-like and more user-friendly. The Team has agreed that both requests would add significant value and have worked to implement these upgrades into the Tratok Ecosystem. As of today, users are now able to add galleries to their walls and control the privacy of these. Using our co-founder Mohammed as a…

Service Provider APIs released

Service Provider APIs released

Progress
The main goal of Tratok's ecosystem is to make the world a smaller place and make travel more accessible. For this goal to be realized, it is important that we factor in every stakeholder that plays a role at Tratok. We have already successfully demonstrated that Tratok is able to give consumers a more transparent deal with greater security and lifestyle benefits at more economical prices. However, we have not neglected our service providers. This month's release of the service provider APIs demonstrates that commitment. These APIs have multiple benefits, some of which are: The ability to manage pricing and inventory in under a minute every day. The ability to view and manage bookings and reservations in under a minute each time. The ability to integrate Tratok directly into any…

A second chance to change more people’s lives for the better!

A second chance to change more people’s lives for the better!

Company, Dubai, Platform, Progress, Tourism, Trat, Tratok, UAE, United Arab Emirates
As promised in the last update, we are launching a second round of Tratok’s holiday per year for life for two more lucky winners and their partners. We received a lot of excellent feedback from the community about new methods to implement with regards to earning additional tickets. Rest assured that the suggestion that holders of large amounts of tokens be eligible for further entries, will NOT be implemented. Tratok is here for the world and we wish to reward participation from all members, not just the rich.  Therefore, the terms are effectively the same as the previous round (with the sole addition that those who have already won last month’s draw will not be eligible to win a second time). You may find the updated terms and conditions by…

We start 2021 in a strong position but exponential growth potential lies ahead

We start 2021 in a strong position but exponential growth potential lies ahead

Company, Dubai, Platform, Progress, Tourism, Trat, Tratok, UAE, United Arab Emirates, Website
As we come to the end of the first month of 2021, we look forward to a year with a far more constructive underlying foundation for the travel and tourism sector than 2020. On one hand, the emergence of a vaccine has boosted confidence in the sector and this renewed confidence will rise with more widespread acceptance and adoption of said vaccine. At the same time, the urge to travel will likely be stronger in individuals who have been unable to do so for almost a year now. Finally, and perhaps most importantly for Tratok, the economic devastation caused by the pandemic has forced service providers to change the way they do business and embrace new methods, while at the same time encouraging consumers to think about savings, benefits and…

As we head towards 2021, Tratok hosts an iconic launch party for a world changing product

Company, Dubai, Platform, Progress, Tourism, Trat, Tratok, Website
If there is a single appropriate word to describe Tratok’s second generation ecosystem launch event, it would have to be “Iconic”. A groundbreaking event, featured by the Dubai Media Office, the Polo Challenge Cup was an event of beauty and great significance. With two hundred visitors in attendance, it showed the strong support and good will behind Tratok. With a turnout including Ministers, Excellencies and leaders from the hospitality and travel industry, the message was very clear. The industry believes in Tratok and is throwing their support behind the platform. At the same time, there is another equally important message here. The fact that such a large group of people can get together, be safe and have fun delivers an even more important sign. It shows light at the end…
