Obviously as an advisor for the project I'm going to be biased, however I wanted to post the reason why I joined this group.
As a cryptocurrency Youtuber I've reviewed and worked with many ICOs in 2017, for most of them I just got a reward in terms of token payments (whether that was BTC/ETH/VIBE/IDH/Spectre/etc.). What other ICO gives you complimentary stuff on top of your tokens? If there are any others, they are far and few. You get a free week of vacation for your 5 ether.
Now that sounds cool and all, but the thing that makes TravelBlock stand out from the rest is that it's going towards a niche that nobody has really done before yet. Travel? Tourism? That's an annual contribution of $2.3 TRILLION! Crazy. Expedia alone spent over $218.3M on US Television advertisements in 2015! Since that year they've shifted a lot more attention towards the internet, and now everybody's expressed interest in blockchain technology yet so few companies have actually done ANYTHING about it.
Most ICOs out there want to raise money to build the platform and the connections and the team. TravelBlock's got that. Boom. So what's the capital needed for? To expand the platform, bulk purchase more destinations, better secure the current alpha-version of our working platform and get it into beta for the public, marketing and to set ourselves up to become the replacement for OTA's. As far as I know, there's nobody else out there right now with all the working pieces together. Maybe parts.. but we're already a few steps ahead. I'm glad to be a part of the team and will definitely help answering any questions.
I love your points about expanding their platform, I would like to believe that Travelblock will do to the travel industry that cell phones did to phone booths...make old fashioned commission based entities like Expedia, Travelocity, etc etc...extinct! It's amazing how much money we throw away on fees just to enjoy the right to take a vacation, not make it more stressful. I know saving more money and spending crypto versus cashing out into fiat will make me feel much more relaxed!
