SXSW 2022

Travel, Blockchain, and the Sharing Economy

Description:

As the travel industry comes roaring back after the pandemic, blockchain technology and decentralization offer a unique opportunity to transform the travel industry from the bottom up. Rental properties, lodging, transportation, experiences, ticketing, everything that touches the travel economy can be improved through distributed ledger technology.

This panel will explore the viable blockchain use cases for the global travel industry. Distributed ledger technology and decentralized economic models and structures can realistically transform the economic model of this sector into one that sees more power and choice in the hands of consumers, and transform the relationship between hosts and guests, tourists and the communities they visit, and the participants of the sharing economy.
