Duniabooking – ICO Detailed Information

Duniabooking: a Hassle-Free Online Bookings

Duniabooking endeavors to put an end to the self-interested dominance of online booking agents by introducing what they call the “one-stop booking platform” which will help establish a direct connection between customers and providers of tourist services.

Problem statement

Virtually anyone who has ever gone on a vacation or a business trip used the online booking services. Oftentimes, finding the best offer requires assiduousness and a bit of luck since each of the numerous online travel agents imposes different commissions for their services. Consequently, hotels and other tourist facilities are forced to include these commissions in their price offers in order to be able to maintain the profit margin.

Data security is another problem that plagues the sphere of online booking. Basically, it is a classical intermediary issue which is being fought so vehemently by the adherents of the blockchain technology. The online booking agents gather the customers’ personal information, share it with the hotel managers and then use it at their own discretion. 

The technological aspects of the platform

Duniabooking is about to introduce a similarly-named online platform created on the basis of the Universa blockchain. In fact, it comes in the form of a hybrid system where the majority of data, especially the sensitive kind that includes personal and payment details, is to be stored securely on a decentralized ledger whilst the secondary information can be kept in trusted cloud storage.

The team explains its choice of the Universa blockchain by the fact that it has proven superiority over both Bitcoin and Ethereum networks in terms of scalability, transaction speed, and the availability of offline verification.

For instance, Universa is capable of handling up to 22 thousand transactions/second and imposes a fixed transaction fee of $0.01 per operation, which is infinitely lower than that of Bitcoin, particularly during the periods of network overload.

In addition, Universa allows users to create smart contracts which operate with a much larger set of metadata than the Ethereum ones.

The exploitation of such an advanced toolkit granted Duniabooking an opportunity to create an ecosystem that consists of online booking portal (duniabooking.com), unique widgets that are embeddable on providers’ websites, and a dApp to simplify the process of searching & booking. 

The use of Duniabooking token (DTN)

Due to the regulatory peculiarities in Indonesia, Duniabooking token will not be used as a mean of payment that customers will make to service providers. It will be up to these providers to establish the most relevant payment method, which could be either a traditional one (banking card, wire transfer, PayPal) or an alternative (Bitcoin or any other cryptocurrency). In turn, Duniabooking will not charge the providers with any processing fees, thus allowing them to boost their profits.

The sole purpose of DTN will be to fuel the platform and pay for the listing of new products, placing ads, and submitting reviews and feedback.
