Why Tratok?
A $11.7 trillion industry. 1.52 billion travellers. And a system broken for everyone except the middleman.
The travel industry hit a record $11.7 trillion GDP contribution in 2025. International visitor spending broke all records at $2.1 trillion. But commissions have risen from ~10% to 30%, fake reviews cost $787 billion annually, and refunds take weeks.
The price you see is rarely 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.
Booking.com charges 15–25%. Expedia up to 30%. That cost gets passed to you in higher prices.
Blockchain eliminates intermediaries. Providers keep more. Guests pay less.
30% of reviews are 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 take weeks. Funds get frozen. The system is stacked against you.
Smart contracts automate cancellations. No manual processing, no frozen funds.
5+ intermediaries skim fees from every international booking.
TRAT works in Tokyo, Barcelona, or Nairobi. No conversion markups.
No social features, no connection. You’re a transaction number.
Make friends, chat, share experiences. Messaging, profiles, community discovery — built in.
Tratok doesn’t patch the system. It replaces the broken parts.
