Forget About Winter; Web 3 is Coming. How Travel and Hospitality Are Shifting from Web2 to Web2.5

The paradigm shift og Web 3 will transform how we book, experience, and engage with travel and hospitality services over the next ten years.
One of the critical advancements is the rise of Decentralized Booking Platforms, which eliminate the need for intermediaries, enabling direct peer-to-peer transactions, enhanced transparency, and increased control over bookings.

Tokenized Loyalty Programs are another exciting innovation. With blockchain, loyalty points can be tokenized, allowing for seamless transferability between different programs and service providers. This empowers travelers to leverage their loyalty rewards more effectively and enjoy personalized experiences. Furthermore, blockchainbased review and rating systems have the potential to revolutionize reputation management – making it more reliable and trustworthy.

These developments represent just the tip of the iceberg of the transformative changes that Web3 will bring to the travel and hospitality industry. This talk will give us an introduction to this landscape of more seamless, personalized, and decentralized travel experiences. Web2 is gone, and Web3 is coming. The question is: are you ready?
