Tripadvisor and local tour guides decentralised - Cool Cousin

Tourism is old, let's travel Cool Cousin. Launched in 2016, Cool Cousin is a VC-backed travel company, used by over 500K travelers worldwide. Crowned as an up-and-coming travel service by New York Times, Guardian, USA Today, National Geographic and TechCrunch, Cool Cousin enjoys monthly double-digit growth and is well positioned to become a major player in the $2.3 trillion travel industry. Searching for great places to go can be difficult, you buy a travel guide and the places recommended are no longer there. You look at reviews but find the actual place lacking, and assume that the reviews were paid for. You search google, it gives a million results, you then go to a page with beautiful looking scantily clad women and waste a few hours forgetting what you were supposed to be searching for. Now the must see places to visit can be shown to you with local knowledge. Travelers can get on demand personalised city guidance, that matches their style and needs with like minded locals.

The Ethereum blockchain will be used to secure, handle payments, scale and decentralise the platform. Community contributors will earn CUZ tokens to help improve the ecosystem and quality of information. At first some elements of the community will be handled by the Cool Cousin company, with the view of relinquishing responsibilities and allowing the community to self-govern and become truly decentralised. Cousins earn tokens for creating a digital profile, up to date guides, answering questions, on boarding users. In the future they will also earn tokens for platform governance actions, like disputes, content validation, approval of new cousins. Pro-Cousins are Cousins who want to expand their services to become a travel agent. Users/Travellers can get free information from the Cool Cousin platform or pay for additional info and services. They can also earn by engagement and becoming contributors. Contributors can also earn by adding value to the platform in the following ways, thanking Cousins, signing into a spot, adding photos, on boarding new Cousins, changing bad photos, reviewing recommendations. You can become an editor if you contribute frequently enough, and validate contributors corrections in exchange for CUZ.
