Tourism
Who you’re targeting, how you’ll reach them, and why this matters for Cardano.
I will be reaching out to the ANVR (anvr.nl) as well as the SDR (sdr.nl) members to explore the feasibility paying for travel and vacations using ADA as well as the possibiltiy to develope novel insurance product ideas for Dutch and BENELUX vacationers.
Provide a list of key activities of your project?
What are your success metrics?
Please describe your proposed solution and how it addresses the problem
I will:
In order to establish what is needed to bring in more travel related transactions on-chain.
This may include reaserch on the type of multi-party or zero-knowledge layers required by the industry.
Please define the positive impact your project will have on the wider Cardano community
A slew of new transactions comming on chain, means activity and much needed transaction fees for the Cardano network.
Additionally, making the case for efficient public - private storage and confirmation of sensitive data through Multi-party-computation will open up similar use cases within other industries and might strenghten bridges to other blockchains like Midnight
What is your capability to deliver your project with high levels of trust and accountability? How do you intend to validate if your approach is feasible?
I have worked in the travel industry before and have several connections there, both on the business and development side of things.
I also run a stake pool, and the Fida Finance project on Cardano.
This will be an exploration of potential new business for the Cardano Community, Fida, and potential revenue streams for ADA wallets that may wish to build out the safe presentation of travel related documentation / products.

Please provide a cost breakdown of the proposed work and resources
I will be paying for the creation of a company, different organization memberships , as well as my time to educate bring in the executives from this industry into the possibility of having a portion of their operations on-chain.
How does the cost of the project represent value for the Cardano ecosystem?
A slew of new transactions comming on chain, means activity and much needed transaction fees for the Cardano network.
Additionally, making the case for efficient public - private storage and confirmation of sensitive data through Multi-party-computation will open up similar use cases within other industries and might strenghten bridges to other blockchains like Midnight.
This is overall, very low cost exploratory footwork to bring this in
