Travel service website Triip has signed up blockchain solutions provider TomoChain to develop its Triip Protocol system.

Triip said through this partnership it would integrate a blockchain that has a functional marketplace and cross functionality to increase its number of users.

The company also said TomoChain would provide scalable and trustworthy blockchain infrastructure at a competitive rate.

Triip is also investing in TomoChain’s infrastructure.

Using blockchain infrastructure, Triip Protocol seeks to disrupt information network through a blockchain-based system.

The new system rewards travellers who share proof-of-travel with access to tailor-made experiences.

The system also offers service providers like restaurants, hotels, tour operators, and hotels access to live information on traveller movements.

The two companies said their strategic alliance provides mutual benefit and would create significant intellectual open source property.

Triip Protocol is pioneered by Triip Pte Ltd which has 100 other travel innovators across the world. The network currently has 100 million users.

Triip is a board member of the Pacific Asia Travel Association and an official member of the World Committee on Tourism Ethics programme run by the United Nations World Travel Organization. — VNS
