Coming to the impact which Blockchain has created and how its application is 
changing the world, we will be focusing on the tourism industry. This might sound 
to be unconventional, but Blockchain is posed to bring revolutionary changes in 
this field.
Companies triggering the revolution of Blockchain in Tourism-
Well, it's not just the whitepaper that we are talking about. Blockchain has already 
started to make its impact felt. Many applications and companies are venturing 
into the domain. Some of the examples are :

ShareRing- Now this is the latest example that is garnering a lot of attention. The 
company has launched an e-passport app. This app comes with a contact tracing 
feature. It is expected to give a boost to the $9 trillion global tourism industry. This 
app is available to 2.6 million hotel and activity providers who are presently using 
ShareRing services.

The user will upload important documents like e-visa on arrival (eVOA), travel 
insurance, flight and accommodation bookings, passport information, and a 
negative COVID-19 test result. If the user subsequently tests positive, then the 
app will send the information to the government, and notification will go to others if 
they contact the user. This app will also have a travel insurance feature. This app 
will have all the data of a person like their photo, name, DOB, address, 
fingerprints, etc. All this data will be encrypted.

Blockchain- It is a direct marketplace for hotels. There are no middlemen, and 
they can list the property's availability, which the tourist can check and make the 
booking without relying on an intermediary. This platform also offers payment 
features, property management, and others. Thus, making it a suitable choice for 
both the hoteliers and the tourists.

BeeToken – This is yet another innovative platform that works on Blockchain 
technology. It allows the customer to directly get in touch with the host and make 
the payment or booking. Since there is no third-party, it is a cost-saving option.

These are just a few of the use cases of Blockchain technology; there have been 
many revolutionary changes that have evolved to combat the Covid-19 
pandemic.WHO had launched a Blockchain-based platform MiPasa to promote 
the sharing of information between individuals, state authorities, and health 
institutions. This is completely private and free from any hacking threats. The 
Netherlands is also using Tymlez, a Blockchain platform, to map and check the 
nation's medical supply chain. A similar app is being used in the US and Canada, 
along with IBM.

The future- While Blockchain cannot eradicate Covid-19 or any other issues, but it 
can provide a better alternative to make the system more proficient and free from 
error.
Since companies are going to rely on Blockchain excessively, there will be a 
demand for Blockchain developers who can work on the system and leverage this 
technology. If you also wish to make a career in Blockchain development, then this 
is the right time to enroll for the Blockchain development certification course by
