A news, named Travel tech entrepreneur launches block chain system for non-airline services, introduces a better payment system which can run without the fund management of the third-party. Travel Ledger, a travel website (non-airline travel services), is setting the payment and billing platform based on block chain, which is an easier and faster system compared current complicated settlement process. In this block chain system, all the billing and logging is saved by Travel Ledger and at the same time, the transactions and inventory can be accessed and tracked in time by travel agency, hotel, car rental company, and other suppliers. During all this process, an intelligent contract system will control the information between existing orders and background systems.

And for the service provider, it is also a reduction of costs and a return of power, which is significant to small economies. Secondly, it will regulate everyone’s behavior by providing an indestructible but traceability digital ‘identity’ for individuals. All service providers and talents will focus on service quality and at the same time, customers will give their honest comments.
