Introduction

The global travel industry, valued at over $1.2 trillion in 2024, is plagued by inefficiencies:

High Intermediary Fees: Online travel agencies (OTAs) like Booking.com and Expedia charge commissions of 15-30%, squeezing property owners’ margins and increasing costs for travelers.
Lack of Transparency: Hidden fees, opaque pricing, and unreliable reviews erode trust.
Unredeemed Rewards: Traditional loyalty programs often have restrictive redemption policies, with billions of dollars in travel rewards going unused annually.
Centralized Control: Centralized platforms control data, bookings, and user experiences, limiting innovation and fairness.

Blockchain technology and Web3 principles offer a solution to these challenges:

Decentralization: Eliminates intermediaries, reducing costs and enhancing transparency.
Tokenization: Enables real-world assets like hotel rooms to be represented as digital tokens, ensuring trust and liquidity.
Incentivization: Smart contracts enable automated, fair reward systems for all stakeholders.
Global Accessibility: Cryptocurrencies like BStay coin facilitate seamless, borderless transactions.

BudgetStay seizes this opportunity to create a decentralized, rewarding, and asset-backed travel ecosystem.
