TravelBlock

A very relevant project. Goodluck!

Taking an idea that is common on the web and attempting to put it on the blockchain is the new trend. Some things do not belong on the blockchain. Travel may be one of them. Failed KYC, will update team rating when they pass KYC

Travelblock, on the surface, just looks like any other online travel platform. It behaves and looks like, let’s say, Expedia. In fact, they actively compare themselves to Expedia in relation to the underlying functionality of the site. A video embedded into the site shows a live demonstration of the way in which the site is used and also a direct comparison with Expedia. I was very pleased with the minimalistic design of the GUI; the simplicity and accessibility of use and the fact that the prices were between 30% and 60% cheaper than Expedia. It appeared pretty damn appealing.

According to the Travelblock website it explained why their prices were so much cheaper than any nearest competitors. It states, ‘Hidden fees and external taxes will be eliminated from final pricing, as all components will be accessible through the blockchain. Complete transparency is the end result, delivering a 30% to 60% reduction in final costs to the consumer by way of eliminating travel agents and online services’ applicable commissions, guaranteeing the best rates marketwide’.

On Travelblock you can book hotels, flights, hire cars, cruises and holiday homes — and in order to pay for them the user is required to hold the TRVL tokens. There are a total of 600,000,000 TRVL tokens and no new tokens will ever be created. The tokens themselves we be kept circulating through the travel platform — going from direct bulk providers and assuring the best rate for the users.

At the moment Travelblock is offering a fantastic offer — for every 5 Ether that you invest into the ICO you will receive a free vacation.

In short, TravelBlock is Expedia on the blockchain. A blockchain travel service that basically cuts out the middleman enabling much cheaper travels (up to 60% discount) as you are connected directly to properties etc. This is an incredibly clever idea. TravelBlock could be one of the most used blockchain sites. They launch their portal end of July 2018 which is brilliant. With Travelblock, we get one step closer to mainstream adoption as we in this case would use crypto to pay for our travels.
