CoolCousin ICO Overview - Decentralized City Guides with Trusted Locals

On this episode of the Crypto Coin Show, I’ll overview the CoolCousin ICO, A tourism platform shaking up the holidays with a twist on travel agencies built for the new age traveller. Finding good travel info can be difficult and avoiding biased opinions can also hard through the web, but with cool cousin you can find local “cousins” whove lived in the area for a long time and are willing to provide their knowledge and experience first hand.

Information overload and biased content in the centralized travel market has made it hard for tourists to find relevant info. CoolCousins has built their platform from the community up, so travellers get on demand city guidance that matches their style and needs directly from like minded locals.

Cousins are like a refined version of travel agents, just as airbnb hosts are to hotel clerks. Using CoolCousins people can get travel and tourist information from local experts who want to provide the help for the timing or their visits, where to stay and what places you can’t miss while in their city. The unbiased nature of the service ensures trustworthy information is safeguarded by blockchain technology, limiting the company’s ability to make commercial decisions compromises the authenticity of the platform.

CoolCousin was launched in 2016 and is already used by over 500,000 travellers worldwide. It is well on its way to becoming a decentralized travel agency for the new age travellers. By the end of 2017 they had their web app launched in over 65 countries with over a thousand Cousins guiding platform participants. As for the roadmap, they are planning on launching the sample wallet in Q3 of 2018, Cool Cousin 4.0 by 2019, and Mass adoption by 2020.

There is double digit growth month over month and coolcousins seems positioned to become a major player in the travel industry, which is generating $2.3 trillion dollars a year. CoolCousins has been dubbed an up and coming travel service by the NYTimes, LA Times, The Guardian and National Geographic as a must app for travellers.
