Topic: [ANN] Astra Network -The social network for tourism using blockchain technology (Read 1514 times)

 On September 21, 2019, the “Launching Ceremony of Astra” combined with the Investment Signing Ceremony was successfully held in Hanoi. Attending the event were Astra people, major investors and partners, press agencies as well as the public interested in the brand. At the event, CEO Nguyen Tiep gave an enthusiastic speech introducing Astra’s goals, missions as well as the future development roadmap. This is an opportunity for the Astra Network to spread its values to the community, bringing a Vietnamese brand closer to Vietnamese users and international friends. Together with the participation of many famous names such as Shark Pham Thanh Hung, Shark Dzung Nguyen, Shark Tran Anh Vuong, CEO Vinalink Tuan Ha … the event marked an important milestone on the development path of Astra, the world’s first social networking platform based blockchain for tourism.
Astra has become an “unprecedented” start-up in the capital raising history of “Shark Tank Vietnam” by holding a successful brand launching ceremony only a few days after appearing on television with an excellent performance, ending up getting 1.000.000 USD from Shark Pham Thanh Hung. Combined with the fame of the television program, Astra has received a lot of attention from the media as well as social networks users. Astra is a pioneering Vietnamese social network that attacks niche markets — tourism — which is a hidden market with countless potential to help promote nation branding and develop the country’s economy. Speaking at the opening of the event, CEO Nguyen Tiep expressed his strategic vision and belief in the potential of the brand in his home market: “Astra is creating what the society needs. While other social networking platforms are gradually being diluted, Astra focuses on the niche market of tourism, so the content will be simpler and more user-friendly. In particular, Astra was born to change the passive travel habits of Vietnamese people. In 2018, tourism contributed $ 26 billion to the total value of the economy. This confirms that Vietnam is a country that sees tourism as its strength. At the same time, the best way to promote Vietnam to the world is through tourism.”

Shark Vuong reaffirmed that our domestic market needs pioneering factors such as Astra, while Shark Hung believes in a Vietnamese brand, “made by Vietnamese” that can cover its influence globally. For Astra, this is the first time a social networking platform is operated in harmony with the blockchain system, which helps create values back to users by rewarding users who contribute content. With a team of nearly 70 technical engineers working hard to build a sustainable ecosystem that provides excellent user experience, Astra is expected to be a potential name that will prove itself in the domestic and international travel market.

oh well u can have discount voucher in Circle K   lol

I suggest launching also a personal mobile wallet from which it was possible to pay for all services on the service. To make transactions convenient and fast.

At least they need to add some bonuses in their application to attract users,
And to find more profit they also have to add some ads in it
That's what I see from a number of applications today

once they established their platform as trustworthy to be used by travelers, potential customers will flock on their app! but until then, they need to seriously implement those features and gain credibility from the users.
the competition in this age is very tight as there are numerous social media apps that are sprouting everywhere. they basically need to get a good number of users to have their app usable!!!

Still need to communicate with your customers constantly, so that all information is known

By hard work and useful updates in the project.

Partnerships can be found on the first page. Maybe the team plans to add  still  partners for mega service development...?

Perhaps you are right, but these are just guesses, in the future we will all see the finished result together

It is true that the team should not hide anything from its users, because ultimately there will be no trust, and this can be gained in the market for years

What kind of partners do you have? Are there airlines on the list?

Information should always be objective, relevant and accessible to each user.

I would add that everything is developing in the right direction and at the right pace.

What are the first exchanges you plan to enter?

I agree that everything depends on the team, they need to be dispelled by a lot of doubts from ordinary users

that is if you can afford and have the time to go to vietnam where they have physical address as mentioned by the team.


proof of trust is one of the vital features in this industry as you can always read fake reviews from dummy accounts. if this project will eliminate those false information within their platform, then in time they will gain travelers to trust their services.  

As far as I know, it will be an informative resource.

I can’t disagree with you, how much the service is in demand on the market and the pace of its development depends on how the team will be able to present the idea and what benefits it brings to society.

Sometimes work on a project can take a year. It all depends on the investment. If you quickly collect the required amount, then the development will be faster.

I personally know projects that have been raising funds for the development of the platform for more than a year. But here it all depends on the idea of the project itself and how the developers advertise it.
