The End of the Points Silo
Loyalty programs are traditionally 'Locked Gardens'. You earn points at Hotel A that you can't use at Hotel B. In 2026, blockchain is breaking these walls, allowing for a **Unified Travel Token** that clients actually care about.
Liquidity
Tokens can be traded, sold, or gifted. This makes the reward feel like 'Money' rather than 'Coupons', increasing engagement by 300%.
Transparency
Every reward transaction is on a public ledger. No more "where did my points go?" complaints to your support team.
