About TriipMiles
Unlike many blockchain projects that are building from scratch, Triip is already profitable with a close relationship with tourism boards in the Asia Pacific. It has a proven business team which create a dynamic ecosystem and can claim to be the world’s first and largest exclusive local tours platform.
Our decentralized platform, with the TriipMiles (TIIM) token at its core, will be the respondent to 3 key challenges in the travel world. TriipMiles protocol will aim to remove unnecessary friction in the travel space and align values in a way that creates incentives to locals, tour guides and travellers.
TriipMiles, the utility token, will empower more locals to participate in the travel industry. The current travel economy only has a few centralized players participating: travel business owners & local employees, OTAs, and travellers.
With TriipMiles, all elements of the travel economy will be presented in a circle where each aspect can be tracked and verified by any individual. Quality and transparency will be visibly demonstrated.
For instance, each group within the TriipMiles economy will collaborate, process functions and be rewarded with TriipMiles as their work is verified. This is accomplished by a smart contract and cannot be controlled or affected by any outside entity.

- Inefficient inventory approval process and dispute resolution issues.
- Inefficient capital incentive process and lots of work and manpower.

Majority of Travel Industry Power
- In the picture below you can see the majority of power in the travel industry is controlled by several companies that have a lot of data.
Platform Components
Triip Platform is a regular web application that runs on the cloud. It maintains the database of creators, customers, tour information and other information necessary for booking a triip. These data are considered “off-chain” data.
The platform facilitates creation and execution of Smart Contract on Ethereum network between all parties involved including Triip itself.
Once the Contract or DApp is deployed “on-chain” to Ethereum network, the terms and conditions of fulfilment are public and cannot be modified. Triip platform provides Graphical User Interface to allow all parties to interact appropriately with the contracts via ReactJS & Web3.
When all conditions are met, the Contract sends fund it holds to receivers, and trigger blockchain events, for Triip platform to handle miscellaneous following up actions such as email notification and feedback collection.

WHY BLOCKCHAIN IN TRAVEL?
Travel is one of the world’s oldest and longest-lasting industries. As long as there are human beings, there is travel.
Dipping only during times of global economic hardship, the number of international tourist arrivals has increased steadily almost every year. Numbers have more than doubled, with an estimated 1.24 billion arrivals expected in 2016. By 2030, international tourist arrivals are expected to exceed 1.8 billion
Travel and tourism contributed a total of 7.61 trillion US dollars to the global economy in 2016. With a statistic of 1.235 billion global visitors in 2016, 30% are booking tours for their vacation on their own while 70% are using group tours. These target customers are spending US$145 BN on tour bookings per year.
Online tour & attraction gross bookings will more than double from 2015 to 2020, growing from 11% in 2016 to 21% in 2020.
The focus language of current global tourism is in English. Local experts and travellers expected to see expanding of the platform into German, French, Spanish, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean.
However, the blockchain in travel is under-invested. In 2017, there was only US$ 259,000 was invested in travel ICO. But that number is changing in 2018.
