An $11.6 trillion industry. 1.52 billion travellers. And a system that works best for the middleman.
The travel industry hit a record $11.6 trillion GDP contribution in 2025. International visitor spending broke all records at $2.02 trillion. But commissions have risen from ~10% to 30%, fake reviews cost $787 billion annually, and refunds take weeks.
The price you see is often not the price you pay. Charges appear at checkout, after you’ve committed.
Every fee upfront. Blockchain-auditable. What you see is what you pay. No exceptions.
Major booking platforms charge providers 15 to 30% per booking. That cost gets passed to you in higher prices.
Blockchain eliminates intermediaries. Providers keep more. Guests pay less.
Up to 30% of reviews are estimated to be fake. 2.7M removed from Tripadvisor in 2024. Yet 92% of travellers rely on them.
Every review linked to a blockchain-verified booking. Didn’t use it? Can’t review it.
Cancellation refunds can take weeks, and your money waits with them.
Smart contracts automate cancellations, so most refunds need no manual processing.
5+ intermediaries take a fee on a typical international booking.
