Technology seems to be experiencing innovations almost on a daily basis, the past years has experienced mind-blowing transformations, and the present day even the future will experience even much more innovative changes. Things that are done in many stressful ways are now done in ways that ensure ease and convenience for the internet user or consumer.
For instance, a normal work schedule that should take up to days to complete, can with the help of the internet be finished in a matter of seconds. Smart Trip Platform was created haven observed the challenges tourist travelers and also the problems its service providers face in bringing the dreams of the travelers to reality. In line with solving these challenges, STP has invented a platform on its blockchain ecosystem where all travel functions are made accessible and making a thing of the past the troubles that travelers face during bookings.

THE STP PLATFORM.

Smart Trip Platform is a decentralized ecosystem that puts together all the functionality needed for a safe, comfortable, and authentic journey, and connects travelers with service providers. Smart Trip Platform provides its users the benefits of the blockchain technology, instant and secure payments, transparency of transactions, safe data storage, a well-upgraded conflict resolution system and a never-ending opportunity for growth. Smart Trip Platform, in its move to resolve the discouragement of tourists and increase travel service providers opportunity of earning a profit, has brought on its platform a unique and all-inclusive solution for both service providers and tourists. The Smart Trip Platform has a dynamic structure and a list of services that will ultimately make the Smart Trip Platform an invaluable resource for all travelers seeking quality tourist experience.

The Smart Trip Platform Ecosystem

The Smart Trip Platform is designed as the ultimate solution to the issues plaguing both travellers and travel service providers: it is an ecosystem that allows all users to connect directly, plan trips efficiently and quickly, save money, and participate in a dynamic community. Smart Trip Platform will not only provide an extremely wide range of services - from boat rentals to safaris - but will also act as a true knowledge base. It is a brand-new model of travel - minimizing time spent on research and maximizing the authenticity of the experience. In this section, we present an overview of the platform architecture and main functions. One of the great advantages of the blockchain technology is that new functions can be easily added using the existing or slightly modified smart contracts while preserving the transparency and full security of all transactions. The platform can develop as a mostly decentralized ecosystem, providing its users with a great opportunity to participate in a dynamic community, become recognized experts, and realize their professional and personal goals.

The following subsections describe the main features of the platform available to owners of private and business accounts. Both types of accounts will provide many similar functions but are divided for taxation purposes and to simplify the calculation of fees and commissions. Owners of business accounts will have a greater access to advertising tools on the platform and will be able to obtain various extra services in exchange for an optional monthly subscription fee; further, business accounts will face certain limitations on contacting private users in order to avoid spam. All internal payments within the platform will be carried out using TripCash - official platform’s tokens. Users will be able to store both TripCash and a wide range of cryptocurrencies in their individual platform’s wallets, instantly exchanging between various cryptocurrencies.

Placing Ads On The Platform

My Ads section of the platform will serve as the main tool for travel businesses to advertise their services or for private users to request or offer a paid service. Business account holders will need to place their basic service ad that will serve as the basis for their activity on the platform: for example, a guesthouse will need to post a description of rooms with prices; a professional trekking guide will have to compile a description of itineraries, etc. The range of ads that can be offered by business and private account holders is extremely wide:

Accommodation : Hotels, hostels, guesthouses, private houses, rooms, campsites; in essence, all those who now use Booking, HostelWorld, AirBnB etc. will be able to join and save on commissions.

Transportation and food: car rental companies, drivers with their own cars, taxis and tuk-tuks, boat owners, cruise agencies, train and plane ticket resellers, bus ticket vendors, restaurant and cafe owners: all will be welcome to join.

Guiding services: trekking and mountaineering guides, wildlife and birdwatching specialists, safari operators, organizers of boat excursions, guides in cities and around cultural attractions, agencies arranging desert expeditions - the possibilities are endless. Both businesses and private individuals will be able to advertise their services.

Volunteer and adventure projects: travel is not only about moving from place to place: one of the most gratifying experiences abroad can be a week spent with elephants on Sri Lanka or even a month at a research station in Tasmania. The Smart Trip Platform will become a great solution for those who are looking for more hands-on, authentic travel experiences.

Private ads: Need someone to go to the bus station in Cusco and get a schedule for buses going to Lake Titicaca? Or would you like someone to bring you very particular flower seeds from Malaysia? Or perhaps you want to sell your collection of guidebooks? All you have to do is choose the location and decide if you are ready to pay in TripCash (Smart Trip Platform tokens - more details below) or how much your services cost.

Looking for travel companions: At present, TripAdvisor and the Lonely Planet ThornTree forum are flooded by threads written by people who search for travel buddies, be it for a whole trip or simply for a few days - to divide the expense of renting a jeep with a driver, for example. The Smart Trip Platform will be the first to provide automatized services of travel buddy search.

Travel with a guru: This unique option will allow experienced travellers to earn money by taking on less experienced tourists. In essence, those users who would like to go on an independent trip to their dream destination without paying thousands for a group tour with an agency will be able to join “travel gurus” and pay a percentage of their experienced travel companion’s expenditures. In exchange, such a travel guru needs to prepare a detailed itinerary and budget and publish them on the platform; if a willing travel companion is found, the “guru” bears the full responsibility for organizing the trip and dealing with all the issues on the road. A cross between a private tour guide and hardcore independent travel, it is a way for experienced travellers to pay for their trips and for less experienced ones to live an authentic adventure while avoiding a lot of the stress.
