Over recent years, blockchain technology has generated significant excitement within many industries and fields. This is largely because it has the potential to dramatically change the way in which information or data is stored and used, enhancing transparency and security, while also improving transactions.
The traditional tourism industry is in urgent need of digital technologies for cost reduction and efficiency enhancement. Blockchain, as an emerging technology, is promising to reform the tourism industry because it provides a trustworthy platform to link the tourism company and tourists. However, the existing blockchain based smart tourism solutions are either conceptual or limited in solving the fundamental tourism challenges.
In this paper, we propose Gemiverse, a blockchain-based smart tourism platform with dedicated solution to address the challenges and real-world prototype deployment. In particular, we design the overall system architecture of Gemiverse to link the tourists and attractions in a trustworthy way. Moreover, an efficient consensus mechanism is designed with incentives for the tourists to explore more attractions. Finally, we implement Gemiverse and conduct extensive experiments for performance evaluation. The experimental results indicate that Gemiverse is a practical and high-performance smart tourism platform.
