Technological Advancements In Blockchain : <\/strong>\u201cImagine a world where your luggage never gets lost. You never have to wait for your hotel loyalty rewards to materialise. All your passports and visa documents are digitised. That\u2019s the kind of world blockchain aims for<\/em>\u201d, Mayank Singhal, member of the Blockchain Research Institute at Toronto.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Technological Advancements In Blockchain<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s the ugly truth: <\/strong>Initially, the blockchain technology was curated to only run Bitcoin. However, considering its advantages, scalability, and potential uses, researchers anticipated that it would significantly impact the travel industry. And guess what, they weren\u2019t wrong!<\/p>\n

Blockchain technology has taken the tourism and travel industry by storm. So, let\u2019s understand the what, why, and how of blockchain in the travel industry.<\/p>\n
