Enhancing Supply Chain Transparency and Efficiency in Tourism Through Blockchain Technology
摘要
The tourism industry operates within a diverse and complex linked supply chain, and connects to hotels, transport services and travel agencies with local businesses and regulatory bodies. While incompletes such as data fragmentation, scam risk and high transaction costs continue to challenge stakeholder confidence along with even business. The traditional tourism supply chain depends on centralized systems, which increases operating costs and data security risk during the delay. To solve these challenges, the blockchain technique provides a decentralized alternative, ensuring more openness, security and automation in tourism operations. Unlike traditional platforms, blockchain removes the need for middlemen using smart contracts and cryptographic verification to automatically act. This change reduces fraud risk, transaction costs and disabilities in economic processing and management of the supply chain. This chapter suggests how blockchain integration can revolutionize tourism supply chains, with special attention to simplify payments, pursue logistics, refine inventory management and raise customer experiences. With real-time tracking, automatic execution of contract and decentralized verification mechanisms installs blockchain a safer, efficient and transparent ecosystem, which lays the foundation for the tourism industry clearly for the future.
