Cool Cousin

  Cool Cousin is a cryptocurrency revolutionizing the travel industry with a sharing economy powered by the blockchain technology. In 2016, Travel & Tourism contributed $7.6 trillion to the global economy, or 10.6% of the world’s total GDP—that's one in every 10 jobs around the world. Cool cousin reduces the gaps between the locals and foreigners, it has created a platform where honest and nonbiased reviews are posted which benefit travelers to visit and experience places without the hassle of getting information about it.  The roadmap is really detailed about the ambition that the platform has and its potential growth in the future.

Problems faced by travelers

  What is the biggest problem for travelers around the world, to quickly find places where they are interested in and not get scammed by fake reviews on the internet. The shortage of time and tough schedule makes it a headache to actually find resources and honest information about a tourist place. The biggest disappointment is to visit a place and realize it is not even near the expectation that you were hoping for. This is a big problem that I have personally faced traveling. I read great reviews about Ferrari world in Sharjah and was excited to ride the world’s fastest roller coaster but that was it, other than that ride there was nothing else exceptional like the Six flags or Disney world in the USA. IMG world in Dubai was exceptional as compared, with lots of great rides that was money well spent.     

The solution

  To overcome this issue Cool Cousin has created a platform where travelers and locals can personally interact with one another. The locals are called cousins, they need to put up a profile on the website or IOS app and give details about their interests and habits. After that just post their recommendations and reviews about places around the city. This will help any traveler, they have to just pick a profile who seems to have the same taste and trust the person’s recommendation. The uniqueness in this is that the review isn’t just random but the cousin has to put thought into it and make a useful informative profile, otherwise it wouldn’t benefit him. This is the catch is order to earn from the app you should have a useful profile which travelers are intrigued with. This benefits the traveler instantly with them not worrying about scams. The website is really easy and user friendly to use. Just type the name of the city and profiles pop up with individuals and their interests, pick a profile and see their advice for visiting places, a map screen is loaded with directions to the place. This will make travel quite convenient and time saving. You can also direct message the cousin asking for the price range or special events or places to visit as in a proposal.      The platform will also provide financial benefit for both locals and travelers. The agent will earn through a useful and honest profile which travelers like. The more these cousins participate on the platform they will be ranked higher and receive the status of pro cousin which will earn more. The travelers can also earn through the platform by uploading pictures of the place they visit or telling the cousin of how they can improve their profile in order to help other travelers. The token distribution is detailed on the website and the website is really boldly made giving particular information related to the platform which is always appreciated.

Better travel experience

  This will also strengthen bonds between communities with directly talking to the local a traveler will have knowledge about the culture of the place. This is a major part of traveling learning about different cultures and it can be easily done with a meeting with a cousin. I live in Pakistan most people have negative remarks for my country for traveling, they have no idea what they are missing. The natural wonders of Pakistan are one of a kind. I can easily guide a tourist about the culture and places to visit in the northern areas of Pakistan when traveling to see these wonders.   It would be my pride in promoting tourism of my country and encouraging foreigners to travel here and witness themselves the true colours of Pakistan. Whether it be snorkeling in Charna Island or visiting the street food of Karachi. The cultural palaces of Punjab and Lahore or the natural scenery of North Pakistan and Baluchistan. I will help travelers in getting to know my country better and visiting places which they will remember for the rest of their lives.      

The real Pakistan

Earning for both

The more these cousins participate on the platform they will be ranked higher and receive the status of pro cousin which will earn more. The travelers can also earn through the platform by uploading pictures of the place they visit or telling the cousin of how they can improve their profile in order to help other travelers. The token distribution an team is detailed on the website and the website is really boldly made giving particular information related to the platform which is always appreciated.
