Now, a new wave of travel-focused NFTs is emerging, integrating with real-world experiences and offering travelers new ways to explore the world. One such project is the Trippy Sailors Adventure Club, a Web3 travel community that uses NFTs to unlock real sailing trips, create travel groups with like-minded people, and provide access to exclusive events and travel discounts.
Trippy Sailors Adventure Club is changing how people experience travel, one NFT at a time. The Trippy Sailors Adventure Club (TSAC) is an innovative Web3 travel community and NFT collection with travel utility. Built on the Ethereum blockchain TSAC, utility NFTs give access to the community's offerings such as real-life experiences, exclusive travel discounts, events and creating travel groups with like-minded individuals in the Web3 space.
The Trippy Sailors Adventure Club pushes beyond the digital experience by organizing real-world sailing trips, allowing members to explore some of the world's most beautiful destinations at sea. By owning a Trippy Sailor NFT, community members are automatically entered into weekly Travel Drops, a random on-chain draw system that unlocks access to this high-end experience to hundreds of members. The company has partnered with industry experts Catamaran Guru, the number one go-to company for catamaran owners with a global sailing community. Thus ensuring that each sailing trip offers the best in class experience, crewed by professionals with long-term expertise.
In addition, NFT holders can use their tokens to unlock discounts on sailing trips, and vote on community decisions. For example, in phase two of the project, TSAC plans to create a decentralized autonomous organization (DAO) centered around the charter business of yachts, called SailBnB DAO. The original members of the TSAC community will get to participate in shaping up this organization through voting rights.
Trippy Sailors Adventure Club is just one example of how NFTs are being used in the travel industry. Other projects, such as Travala are using blockchain technology to create decentralized travel booking platforms that eliminate intermediaries and reduce costs for both travelers and service providers. Travala recently released a collection of 1,000 Travel Tiger NFTs that unlock benefits to their Smart Diamond Membership for enhanced travel-oriented benefits. Venetian luxury hotel Ca’ di Dio used NFTs to celebrate its opening and allow guests to bid on exclusive experiences on OpenSea.
As the travel industry continues to recover from the COVID-19 pandemic, these innovative new projects are providing a much-needed boost to the industry while also creating new opportunities for travelers to explore the world in new and exciting ways. NFTs are providing a new way for travelers to access unique travel experiences and rewards.
As the industry continues to evolve, it will be exciting to see what new opportunities and experiences these innovative projects will bring.
