Vietnam is a poor country, 75% of people in Vietnam still work in agriculture. They have to work more than 10 hours a day, but they only earn $ 200 a month. That's a small amount of money compared to their hard work. In 1975, the war of Vietnam and the US was over, Vietnam suffered from all material and spiritual harms, many people with disabilities as a result of US aircraft released toxic Dioxin.. Up to now, there are still many families in childbirth, their children with congenital deformities. The toxins have soaked into the water and into the food we eat every day.

Agricultural development is slow, and our country's industry can not grow with capitalist countries.That is why we need to develop tourism, and tourism must be top priority. Our country has the advantage of nature. We have many historical sites and cultural heritage world recognized by UNESCO ( Ha Long Bay, Phong Nha – Ke Bang National Park, Hoi An Ancient Town,.Trang An Landscape Complex, ... ) that is really lucky for us.
I want our tourism industry to grow, to promote our tourism and culture to international friends.

In order to meet the target of receiving 77 million domestic and international visitors in 2017, Vietnam's tourism industry has to integrate into the trend of moving to Digital Transformation to increase competition.
If "Cool Cousin" is used in Vietnam, tourism in Vietnam will develop very well. All overseas visitors will be able to choose where they travel. They will come to my country to relax and have fun. And I believe that if they have free time, they will come back to VietNam again. "Cool Cousin" will help them know the culture and famous tourist attractions in my country. And they will not get lost when they come to Vietnam. Cool Cousin considers his "cousins" to be an exquisite version of a travel agent, which is optimized for younger youth clients and Gen Z visitors. When "cousins" answer multiple questions and close Contribute more to the platform, they can expand their service to become "Pro Cousins". Pro Cousins and other Cool Cousin members can send or receive payments using CUZ cards.

How can this impact the way we travel?

Young people today tend to prefer bloggers to travel with real experiences, rather than promotional ones. For travelers, we first have to find address, seach on the net, find hotel, find the travel and most reasonable price. Followed by plane tickets and directions.Of course, the experiences and posts of bloggers will be on Cool Cousin. Tourists will immediately want to visit a country as soon as they see a good article reviews it.

How can travelers as well as locals benefit from Cool Cousin ?

Electronic agreements made in the process of using the product are ensured by smart contracts, which allows the project to build a system of transparent, understandable and unchangeable rules of how the application functions. This system best implements the technology for self-management of the user community and provides financial transactions between unfamiliar agents. The use of smart contracts realizes the principle of independence (and impartiality) between the company itself and the community. This will allow the ecosystem to realize the commercial interests of all users using these operating standards. Read more here

Users are simply users of the Cool Cousin app. You get lots of free travel information, but you can also buy premium services.

• As an active user, you have the opportunity to become contributors and earn Token CUZ. To do that, you need to do things that improve the app experience: bad image updates, new user support, reviews of proposals, etc. After you've completed a significant contribution , you become the editor. With this, you earn additional CUZ by approving / refusing to edit the content of the contributors.
• Travelers can earn money by :
  Uploading pictures of locations and reviewing the quality of cousin recommendations from a user's point of view.
  Point out the inaccuracy of the application.
  Share the application to your friends, the more users you introduce, the more money you have.Cool Cousin is a community-backed tour application by VC, which will soon add Blockchain technology to its platform. The app has a few impressive growth figures.
  
  The following illustration shows an example of interaction with the Council

As a travel agency that uses blockchain technology,Cool Cousin promises to be a cost-effective solution (because this decentralized platform operates without the need for a third party intervention), and this cost will obviously be lower than the market rate. The fees will be open and transparent for each type of service with the help of the Blockchain smart deal.

In addition, Cool Cousin helps people earn money through their experiences ^^ This is extremely good for generating passive income for homemakers in Vietnam.

How will Cool Cousin(CUZ) tokens encourage engagement?

CUZ tokens would be used for all transactions within the app. Whether you are a tourist or a locals, you can still make money.
All the benefits that visitors and locals have benefited, I wrote at the top. hahaha you will probably find a friend or lover after this trip :D

I downloaded the Cool Cousin on my phone. And now I will publish the articles, my travel experience on this platform.
