Travel Un’chained 2023 Defines New Horizons for the International Travel Sector

Thursday, October 12, 2023

The Travel Un’chained conference, the second edition of the Web3 event dedicated to the travel industry, was held in Palma from October 9 to 11, 2023. It was organized by Chain4Travel and provided a forum for a wide range of specialists, trailblazers, and top tourism decision-makers to discuss the most recent trends and advancements surrounding the Camino Network, Web3 technologies, and their effects on the travel industry. This year’s Travel Un’chained conference in Mallorca attracted more than 250 travel and technology managers from 160 top travel and technology businesses.

The conference discussed about recent advancements in the Camino blockchain, a decentralized network guided by the travel industry, which became operational in April 2023. Over 150 businesses are currently a part of the Camino Network.

Ralf Usbeck, CEO of Chain4Travel, introduced the decentralized Camino Messenger, a cutting-edge new feature of the Camino blockchain. This new feature enables travel companies to seamlessly connect to the network and conduct instant transactions across the entire platform. It reduces the costs related to establishing and maintaining numerous APIs for travel companies. It operates by employing bots connected to each partner’s wallets. These bots send encrypted search requests to the wallets of partners within the Camino Network. In response, partners make proposals that are also encrypted. Basic information about reservations is saved on the blockchain, but additional reservation data is kept private and decentralized. The Messenger connects the Web2 and Web3 worlds.

 As diverse as the Camino project itself, the event showcased a wide range of fascinating sessions and topics.

• Industry pioneer Jens Bischof, CEO of Eurowings, discussed his goals for the travel sector as well as the cutting-edge strategies used by companies like Chain4Travel.
• CMO of BitMEX Benjamin Usinger demonstrated his knowledge of the cryptocurrency sector.
• Michael Hasler, CEO of Juice, proposed a novel strategy when he unveiled the new DeVest platform: fractional ownership of assets makes shares easier to trade, increasing capital inflows into the sector.
• A number of cutting-edge businesses were also present, including Sleap.io, the first Web3 OTA that recently debuted on the Camino Network and is led by CEO Michael Ros.
• Vicktoria Klich, co-founder of w3.fund and CEO of w3.vision, provided practical Web3 knowledge.

Ralf Usbeck, the CEO of Chain4Travel, summarized by highlighting that Camino represents a collaborative endeavor within the travel industry, brimming with immense potential, synergies, and innovative approaches.
