Are there any Bitcoin tourists out there? People have long since been talking about the benefits of Bitcoin for tourism, but somebody in British Columbia seems to have made some actual headway. The idea was, we want people from other countries to be able to visit us without having to interact with overpriced currency exchanges or banking institutions. The plan is to start by hitting resorts, where tourists are plentiful per capita, and the expenses more justified.
So far, the guy in Whistler is doing this by having set up a company called ClickJett, which lets you book travel and accommodations (among other things) using Bitcoin. Once you get there, he has another company called Logicoins that operates an ATM specialized for crypto selling, so that you can convert to local currency for use at places not accepting crypto, yet. We did just convince their first restaurant, though, and are having a celebratory event: https://www.facebook.com/events/233487353510614/
