Hi! Amazing project you got here. I work in the revenue management of a hotel, so I know first-hand the pain in the ass that Expedia and Booking are for hotels. The potential this platform has is really big. Now, I have some questions about the implementation process though.
- First of all, how do you plan to get hotels and airlines to upload their availability and prices to your platforms. Do you expect that to happen spontaneously or do you plan to make any commercial/marketing initiative so that they get to know you.
- Secondly, let's say I am interested in setting up a travel agency on WT. When will that be possible? And would I need to have programming skills to set it up?
Thanks for your comments and questions.
We're actively working on getting suppliers on board i.e. Lufthansa Group and Air New Zealand. We also have a very good awareness in the travel industry and we hope the smaller hotels and airlines will join by themselves. The platorm is open-source and permissionless so anyone can join at anytime, once it's live.
Yes of course that's possible! We will have a set of APIs to retrieve the inventory from, as of now we are building a solution for developers by developers. But overtime people may develop plugins and easier ways to interact with the blockchain.
