Tourism is one of the major contributors to the world’s total GDP (Gross Domestic Product) and 10% of the world’s total GDP belonged to the tourism sector in 2016. Not only for the world economy, tourism plays a vital role in improving the economy of a country because in many countries it is the major source of revenue. But a recent study by UN revealed that in many countries like Thailand, India etc more than 60% of the tourism revenue goes outside the country leaving only less source of income for the development of the local economy.

Can you guess where all this money goes? To find the answer, you need to think a bit about how the travel industry worked before the invention of internet and technology. In the past, travelers need to depend solely on the local as well as international travel agents for booking flight tickets, making reservations in hotels etc. Thanks to the world of internet, these days you can do everything online as there are hundreds of travel blogs to provide you complete guidance for your travel.

Irrespective of whether you are traveling from Africa, UK or USA to visit India, you can use the same source (TripAdvisor, Yelp) to read the reviews of the hotels, sightseeing places etc. There is no doubt that these kinds of travel websites have made the travel easier with its enormous database containing reviews about the top tourist destinations all over the world. But, do you think this kind of reviews is unbiased? Can you trust these reviews fully? Is it possible to communicate directly with the people who created the reviews? The answer is a big ‘No’. Because all these reviews are created either by travelers or some marketing professionals associated with the businesses who lack the real knowledge about the tourist destination.

For helping the travelers to get unbiased reviews and provide complete support throughout their travel, an innovative startup company named Cool Cousin (CC) was started in the year 2016. CC is available as an iOS app and can be downloaded from the app store. Using the app, the travelers can select their desired destination to get the complete local guidance and map about the place. Then, they can browse the list of local people called “cousins” for that destination and select the best one based on their needs. CC provides the option for filtering the cousins by age, bio, tags etc. Once the cousins are selected, the travelers can directly communicate with them to get whatever support they need. Sounds interesting? Kindly visit https://www.coolcousin.com/ico/coolcousin-whitepaper.pdf to read more information about the interesting platform.

Since its launch in 2016, CC has attained a huge popularity as more than half million travelers have used the platform so far. Currently, there are more than 1000 cousins in CC who are providing full guidance to travelers for exploring more than 100+ cities around the world. For offering travelers more personalized services and to provide a good source of income for the locals, CC will be issuing the new type of utility tokens called CUZ tokens. These tokens are based on Ethereum standard ERC20 and will be used as the payment mode for getting any type of service on the CC platform. For example, travelers can pay CUZ tokens to the cousins to get the information they need. For knowing more information about the procedure to buy CUZ tokens, please visit https://www.coolcousin.com/ico/
