Group of international
entrepreneurs launches the first cryptocurrency focuses on the
tourism sector
worldwide
Bestkoin, a cryptocurrency focused
on the tourism sector, has been officially launched in Brazil on
November 13th.
The United Arab Emirates based
company, co-founded by entrepreneurs Pedro Ribeiro and Pedro
Ferreira has attracted international investors and business
stakeholders from the sector.
“We have signed an agreement with
Agaxtur, one of the largest international tourism operators. The
company will be yet another which accepts Bestkoin for service
payments. Without a doubt this is a milestone for the industry,”
concludes Pedro Ferreira.
On board too is Brazilian fintech Uzzo
for cryptocurrency payments using Mastercard which will be
Bestkoin’s gateway to international
expansion.
The aim of the initiative is to
provide a transparent tool for travel agencies, tour operators and
tourists by ensuring cost savings, better fares and faster, more
practical and efficient transactions and
services.
Brazil was chosen as the country to
roll out the currency because it is considered one of the best
countries in the world for adventure tourism, according to Best
Countries international rankings.
And Brazil is also one of Latin
America’s top three destinations according to the United Tourism
Organization.
International tourism figures, which
represent 10% of the world’s Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and make
up the third largest export sector in the world, will continue to
grow, with an increase of between 3% and 4% of foreign tourist
arrivals in the world by the end of
2018.
“The tourism industry continues to
grow worldwide. It is an excellent niche market for companies that
offer innovative services making life easier for entrepreneurs and
travelers, without compromising online security,” adds Pedro
Ribeiro.
