Abstract

At present there are many intermediaries for the acquisition of tourist plans, which in some situations represent a risk, because they promise great offers and when the client is going to enjoy what they have acquired, they get unwanted surprises. For this reason, the platform described in this work for the reservation of tourist plans allows companies to offer different activities so that travelers can put together their vacation packages, considering that each of the parties will ensure compliance with the service, using smart contracts and blockchain technology.
