Thanks for your answer to my previous question....
How will customers get to know about accommodation that is being offered, what marketing will be done?

Great question, thanks for asking!

Let me tell you a little story...

About 18 months ago my wife and I were out shopping at a local supermarket and She entered our details
into a competition. A couple of weeks later we got a phone call saying we had won a gold coin and a free
getaway vacation and all we had to do was attend this short presentation at a Novotel hotel here in Dubai.

The company was called Novo Elite vacations and initially I thought they were connected to Novotel but
that was not the case ( I have a feeling they did that deliberately! ) Anyway during the presentation a pressure
salesman convinced me to join their club so I could use them for my vacations for the next few years. Now
to be fair I have been to New York twice, Bangkok and a weekend getaway in Abu Dhabi and I still have
more credit with them, but their customer service was, well let's say they were not terribly professional.

Anyway it was on the first trip to NYC when I had the idea to create a crypto-based tourism club with
franchise branded locations worldwide which can then be marketed here in Dubai in a similar manner to
the way Novo Elite market their offering.

Getting to that stage means bootstrapping through lower stages however because I can't sell a premium
vacation offering without being sure that I'm sending people to a suitable destination. Intially therefore
I intend to target the low end of the tourism market, which is why phase one is titled 'Bedspaces for Backpackers'

The TOURIVA app will work very much like NovoElite app, and at first I will be promoting to backpacker
online social spots and signing people up with a free welcome bonus of enough TOURIVA for a weekend
getaway provided by 3rd parties wherever they are. The coins I allocate for free will not be withdrawable and
can only be used to create a booking on the app. I will also be suggesting to these backpackers that since TOURIVA
is a crypto-currency based project they may benefit from buying up some TOURIVA for their future travel plans.
Some will get it some won't, but I'm sure it's possible for me to send tourists from here in Dubai to the TOURIVA
locations once they become available.

Another approach I have is making sure that the TOURIVA app for the most part conceals the crypto-currency
aspect such that an end user need have no experience at all of using crypto in order to be a customer. This
has the added benefit that the company can be promoted on Facebook, circumventing their rules about
advertising crypto-projects. Unless they spend a bunch of time really digging into the app they should be
entirely oblivious to the fact it's a crypto-project.
