Bringing the Power of Blockchain to the Travel Industry

The travel industry needs more efficiency in data, payments, and payment settlement time. Every booking made online requires multiple middlemen involved, resulting in delays in settlement, loss of records, miscommunication, and a lack of a single source of truth. Each counterparty uses its own centralized database and generates its own booking codes, leading to a nightmare in reconciliation.

If the hospitality industry can find ways to improve guest experiences through technology, why can’t the travel industry improve processes for those selling travel online? Maybe it can.

Xeni has broken through the technological, regulatory, and legal barriers that make it difficult for people to sell travel online by offering a service that provides access to wholesale rates across different kinds of travel, allowing closed user group communities, travel professionals, influencers, and events to launch their travel-selling sites instantly, integrating more than 800 airlines, two million hotels, more than 300,000 car locations, and 400,000 activities worldwide.
