2. The Problem: centralisation
•Few big players in the market (OTA)
•High entry barriers slow innovation
•Guests pay 15/20% in middle man fees
•Host’s margins are reduced. Most profits go to
the platforms
4. For Digital Nomads / Remote Workers
Digital Nomads, Remote Workers, and anyone wanting to
book a place online for a month or more.
For Travelers
A decentralized alternative to OTAs
with a small commission.
5. More Freedom, Money and
Fairness for All of Us
•More profits for Hosts
•Lower fees for Guests
•Better Damage Refunds Management
•Better Listings
•Better Guests
6. 1) Price: better deals
2) We meet the Guests in person (OTA’s don’t!)
3) Payments in Cryptocurrencies and Fiat
4) Tokenization
5) Priority on availability
6) Marketing
7) Work Platform (e.g. Panel)
8) Simplified disintermediation
9) Origin Protocol Network
Customer Acquisition

12. The Token: TRIPS
We have an ERC20 token up and running.
We have several initiatives using them in the Italian
community: cooperate and get Trips rewards, buy
and sell Trips, book apartments with Trips.
13. Pay Your Stay in Trips
These Apartments Can Be Booked Using Our Token.
There’s no platform yet, but we decided to go ahead
and inject value in the Trips tokens.
The apartments here are in Milan, Rome, Florence, Venice,
Genoa, Turin and so on and can be booked paying in Trips.
14. MEDIA
We are on Wired (*)
“Who is a little less young like me will recognize the founder Luca De Giglio, who with the stage
name of Tripluca shared the stories of his travels from the frequencies of Radio Deejay.
In fact Luca was one of the most popular travel bloggers on the web even before the term was
invented. After renting apartments all over the world, and after teaching apartment owners how to
make money on Airbnb, he is now organizing his Ico to create an Airbnb made in Italy based on the
blockchain.”
15. Community Donations
The community decided to set up a Patreon
account (*) for donations and has committed to
monthly payments to support the daily expenses.
16. THE IMO
We are planning an IMO (Initial Mining Offering),
90% of the tokens will be mined.
More decentralized then anyone else from the
beginning.
