Tourbit Deep Dive Session – Blockchain

In this webinar we will demystifying blockchain technology for you. Blockchain is quite unknown yet and sparcely applied in the tourism sector, but it offers secure opportunities for tourism SMEs when doing business digitally. Blockchain is based on the so-called decentralised ledger technology (DLT), which is a digital system where details on e.g. transactions of assents are recorded in multiple places at the same time making it unvulnerable against cyber attacks. Nowadays, it is most commonly known for cryptocurrency transaction, but is has multiple other applications, which some of them are yet to be explored.

In this webinar we will give you an introduction to Blockchain applications for tourism SMEs and present you two practical use cases for your inspiration.
