Over the past few weeks we have seen a major increase in interest in TriipMiles, and along with all the attention has come a lot of questions regarding the use cases of TIIM token within Triip.me and TriipMiles project.
One of the biggest concerns of a utility token is its economy and use cases. We take this excerpt from TriipMiles white paper to illustrate the ideal use cases of TIIM tokens.
The general stakeholders in TriipMiles token economy include but not limited to (1) traveler, (2) retired tour guide, (3) group of freelance tour guides, tour company, (4) 5-star hotel owner, and (6) crypto traveler.
In each case, we include a picture/link /video to the real stakeholder who currently operates within Triip.me ecosystem. This will help reader to have a clear vision and good understanding about TriipMiles token.
However, please note that all names, characters, businesses, places, events, locales, and incidents are the products of the author’s imagination or used in an imaginative manner to illustrate the real-life use cases of TriipMiles token. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
- A millennial traveler with a low budget
Jerry grew up in the suburban area of Houston, Texas. He dreamed of traveling around the world. The only obstacle facing him is his budget.
Jerry was on the way for more than three years through 34 cities and 12 countries in Europe in Asia. He did many part-time jobs on route to finance his dream. However, not every location would accept a foreigner to work without a permit.
How Triip can help traveler with low budget.
Lately, a friend referred Jerry to use the service of Triip.me. He was surprised about this website that offers exactly what he has been looking for. Collaborating with Triip.me, Jerry will book some tours, review the local guides and receive TIIM token as a reward. At night, he works as an Arbitrator, solving dispute cases on Triip.me. As a result, he made some saving for accommodations, food, and funding for his global tour.
- A retired tour guide from World’s Tour Guide Association
Katsuhiko is a local creator based in Tokyo. He also invests in TriipMiles.
Johana has been working as a tour guide for almost 50 years. She is retired and lives happily with her family in a countryside of Washington DC. Occasionally, she misses her work, places she has been to and the passion for guiding new, young traveling lovers. With her experiences, she can easily review 4–5 newly created tours on Triip at home daily via our platform. It takes only 15–30 minutes to accomplish the revision of one tour. After receiving TIIM tokens as a reward and with a little help, she transfers all of her tokens to cash and donates them to a local health care center.
- A young group of students offering free walking tours
Kieu Anh and her friends take travelers around Saigon — HCM City — Vietnam.
Helen and her friends are from Pacific Asia Travel Association — Taylor’s University Students Chapter in Malaysia. To help with their study, they decided to participate in the Malaysia Travel Entrepreneur Challenge 2017 which was organized by Triip. They designed a free walking tour around their hometown — Kuala Lumpur. Helen and her friends require zero profit for this tour, based on their thirst for knowledge of operating a real business. However, they struggle with the fact that more than half of the customer groups who booked the tour canceled without any compensation. This is a lesson for them about taking deposits. Fortunately, Helen figured out that she can use TIIM tokens as a tool to guarantee reservations by those who have made a booking. Travelers who want to reserve the tour needed to deposit their TIIM token, the smart contract will stand and withhold any last minute cancellation without paying fees. The customers will have to finish the tour and review it then TIIM token will be released to the tour guides including a small extra amount if they rated 3–5 stars.
This innovative method of booking would not be compromised without leveraging the power blockchain, smart contract, and TIIM tokens.
- A new tour company wants to acquire customers!
DestinAsia is a Malaysian tour company operates on Triip.me platform
Local Delight is a new tour company offering foodie tours within their city. Similar to others, they have submitted their information including an overview, products, vision and price on review sites. The process is straightforward but without any guidelines saying how long and when their information will be listed. Local Delight has been waiting for two months without any adequate feedback from the review sites. They share their concerns on Tour Operations United Facebook Group and find out that they are not alone. Big review sites conceal their approval process, and customers have little power.
Local Delight then turns to Google Adwords to promote their key words “local food tour.” It turns out they have to pay $4 for every click due to the competitive advertising of other tour companies as well as the business themselves.
Finally, Local Delight purchases TIIM tokens to utilize Triip’s referral program. They reward Triip’s community with $5 worth of token for every successful booking of a minimum $50 local food tour. As a result, the need has met the want, and Local Delight only needs to pay for every true purchase. This method reduces inefficient advertising and saves time for Local Delight.

Le Meridien Hotel in Saigon starts a new marketing campaign. They want to improve the local tour experience for their VIP guests to compete with Airbnb and other 5-star hotels.

They can pay via fiat money through the API and choose the photographer that suits their style. In the end, Le Meridien Hotel has the authority to use the photos and saves the cost of hiring a full-time employee.
- A crypto traveler
1st crypto retreat to Bhutan by Triip.me #triipmiles
James is an early adopter of Bitcoin and became an ICO investor. He usually attends potential blockchain conferences and seminars around the world. James engaged Triip.me accommodation offer for hotel rooms with a reasonable price, particularly equal or even cheaper than Booking.com ( his usual hotel booking site). Surprisingly, he discovers that Triip.me also accept BTC and ETH. Since there is no other big OTA accepting cryptocurrency, James gives it a try. After booking, his passion moves to another level when a local blockchain evangelist offers him a free unique local tour in Hamburg via the Triip platform. James enjoys his stay in Hamburg had good local beers and made friend with the evangelist.
When James flew back home in Tokyo, his crypto wallet receives 5% worth of his previous hotel and tour booking as a rebate from Triip.me. Currently, James has invested in Triip with his passion for changing the way people book their travels.
