Blockchain-based turnaround checklist

Vueling

Automated supplier payments and real-time fuel settlement

The system should provide fraud-resistant handling of bookings, cancellations, and importantly, modifications (as additional blockchain transactions). The dApp must ensure traceable, tamper-proof reporting, minimizing manual reconciliation efforts. Facilitate transparent reconciliation with guaranteed audit trails accessible to all stakeholders.

Since bookings on chain are immutable, handle modifications as additional transactions that update the booking state. Use "stacked NFTs" or linked tokens to represent modifications and the current state of the booking. Propose a Camino Messenger Format for Modification.

Upon receiving a confirmed booking with a known end-consumer's digital wallet address, the system should intelligently propose personalized upsell offers that match the guest's preferences and profile, avoiding irrelevant or annoying push offers.

Use the blockchain wallet address associated with the guest to securely create/link to their historical CRM or loyalty profile data (preferences, past stays, spend patterns). Use AI to analyse (mocked) CRM data, past booking context, and guest behaviour to generate upsell offers (room upgrades, dining, spa, experiences) with high relevance and likelihood of acceptance.

Create logic to analyse booking requests and intelligently match them with suitable travel suppliers based on destination, service type, price range, and quality metrics. Implement a supplier discovery mechanism that maintains an updated catalogue of available services and their capabilities.

Enable instant payments using on-chain currency USDC or Monerium's EURe currency through blockchain infrastructure. The system should optimize for both speed and cost-effectiveness while maintaining transparency in supplier selection and pricing.

Your goal is to design a solution that combines blockchain, digital identity, and data intelligence to:

  • Encourage travelers to discover lesser-visited places and experiences.
  • Offer rewards for visiting hotspots during off-peak hours or days to ease congestion and enhance traveler experience.
  • Reward responsible, low-impact travel behaviors across all travel areas.
  • Provide real-time insight into how busy an attraction is using Bluetooth or NFC-based tags for live crowd data.
  • Enable fair and transparent value sharing across the local travel ecosystem.

Possible Tracks:

  • AI Agents for Travel Flow: Build a digital assistant that helps travelers plan smarter. Suggest trips to hidden gems or recommend visiting hotspots during off-peak times based on crowd patterns, weather, and local events.
  • Tokenized Sustainability and Timing Rewards: Create a system that issues rewards for sustainable travel or verified visits during quieter hours or days. Proof-of-visit could use Bluetooth or NFC tags that also feed real-time crowd insights back into the network.
  • Dynamic Travel Insights via Camino Messenger: Use Camino's decentralized messaging network to exchange real-time availability, congestion, and sustainability data between travel areas and local operators.

Why It Matters:

Overtourism isn't just an environmental issue — it's a visibility and data imbalance. With transparent, decentralized tools, we can make travel more evenly distributed, more rewarding, and better for everyone involved.
