Big problem

If you ever had to change a plane ticket you will probably agree that it is a painful experience. Travelers cannot transfer their tickets. It is ridiculously expensive to make changes or cancellations and the pricing policy is unclear. On top of that, Covid-19 has heavily impacted the travel industry and all its players, making it apparent that it is time to improve the current system and the user experience.

Bold solution

TravelX was created to solve this huge problem. They are building a blockchain-based distribution protocol for a secure, frictionless, efficient, and profitable Travel Industry.TravelX technology allows airlines to tokenize their inventory in NFTs (non-fungible tokens) generating a more efficient distribution system by reducing costs, improving profitability, and allowing new distribution channels and use cases. “NFTickets” can be exchanged, transferred, or sold without cost or limitation. Reimbursements and changes are immediate and ruled by Smart Contracts.

Exceptional team

They have deep experience, validation, and network in the Travel and Tech Industry.
