Can blockchain help fix what's wrong with our current travel industry.

If you travel often, then during your travel time (in most cases before) you have interacted or even recruited a travel agent, for those who don't know what a travel agent does - he or she is that individual that is in the business of planning transportation, accommodations and tours for travellers.

Sure, having a travel assistant is great and all but sometimes having an intermediary entity present can really ramp up your costs and even though online travel agents like Booking.com were created to make trips much easier to plan the commission demanded from each sale is still way too high. Gozo has built an entire platform with the goal of providing you with the best travel experience imaginable and it does thus not only by helping users discover better travel deals and benefits but also through its travel club. Thanks to a unique booking engine, all the travel purchases made by Gozo Plus members are recorded and awarded Gozo tokens as a form of incentives.

It doesn't just stop there, thanks to partnerships with the biggest travel companies, Gozo will inform its users of any discounted or special deals that are relevant to their situation or previous purchases for instance savings worth up to 30% off are available. Members of the club are also given a bevy of free perks that have previously only been associated with 1st class (business) travelers.

Such perks include: travel insurance, VIP airport lounge access, a medi-jet evacuation, access to a personal assistant, deals on vacation rentals, great rates on hotels, identity theft assurance and much more. The best part is, Gozo will make it easy for anybody to join as a member, all members would need to do is pay a small monthly fee which is very reasonable, considering all the perks you receive and that you won't need to pay any third-party fees.

One other way, Gozo is looking to streamline the trillion-dollar travel industry, is through its loyalty rewards clearinghouse. See most times customers don't keep track of their loyalty reward points very well and end up either losing them or forgetting about them until they expire. According to the Global loyalty insights, about 48 trillion points go unredeemed each year. That's a lot of tokens.

Gozo is out to help users solve this problem, and it will do this by curating or collecting all these points onto one interface, it won’t stop there this same platform will allow users to combine their points and trade them for GOZO tokens or any other major cryptocurrency. This is a great strategy because it provides more functionality to these points, we've all seen the situation where you have a few points, but you don't plan on interacting with the firm that issued the points again meaning all the points you collected go to waste. This is what Gozo is trying to fix.

A little about tech

Gozo's technology stack is insane! On the underlying level we know Gozo is built on top of the Stellar Ledger, in this ledger every ledger is linked cryptographically to the ledger that was behind it and so on and forth until the chain reaches the ledger, this method is great for the smart contracts and thus perfect to ensure all promises are met. The bottom layer will then give birth to the mid-level layer, otherwise known as the multi-platform Application... which basically to provides support for services and lead acquisition. The next later the Microservices and API layer, works pretty much the same way you may have imagined, it allows Gozo DAPPs better integrate and interoperate with other products and services from third party website and applications.
