Thanks to the internet and technology, international travel has been made a lot easier when compared to 20 years ago. These days, you can plan your travel for anywhere in the world by using a mobile phone and a credit/debit card. You don’t need to waste a piece of paper for printing the tickets as you can simply show the e-ticket in your phone at the airport. There is no doubt that the online travel websites like Tripadvisor, Expedia, Priceline etc offer attractive discounts for booking hotels and flights. But, they do they provide enough information like that by a local? Sadly Not. Thiskind of websites provide a lot of information about the tourist destination in the form of reviews, sightseeing places, restaurants etc but lacks the option of personalization. Can’t understand? Let me explain with an example.
Let assume that you are traveling to a city named Hyderabad in India. You read in a travel blog that you can buy original and high-quality pearls in Hyderabad. So, you have decided to buy a nice pearl necklace for your spouse as a gift. But, you don’t know any trusted dealer from whom you can buy pearls. Can you ask the customer support of Tripadvisor? No. Of course, you can ask your question in the forum and wait for someone else to give the answer. Also, you can’t expect a friend or relatives in every country. How to overcome this limitation with the existing travel websites?
CoolCousin (CC) provides an innovative solution by directly connecting the traveler with a local for theexchange of information and another kind of services. CC platform is based on the blockchain technology and it uses Ethereum based smart contracts for all kind of transactions in the platform. Using the platform, the traveler can easily connect with any number of locals called “Cousins” to get information or any other service based on their need. For every tourist destination, the platform lists all the available cousins. Then the traveler has the option of filtering them by age, photos, gender etc and choose the one based on their wish. A traveler can choose as many number of cousins as they want. Each cousin will have their own profile and city guide. Sounds interesting?
