Addressable Market

THE MARKET

• The global hotel booking market is worth $528 billion and is expected to double by 2030

• Online bookings through Online Travel Agents (OTAs) account for 40% ($211 billion) of the market

• OTA annual commission is estimated at $32 billion

• The OTA market is highly concentrated

Priceline Group and Expedia will control 94% of all online hotel bookings by 2020 Many well known OTA brands are owned by these two companies

THE MARKET

OTA dominance is distorting the hotel booking market

• High Commissions Hotels pay up to 30% commission to OTAs; smaller hotel groups pay even higher levels of

commission

• Brand Hijacking

OTA brands are growing in dominance on the back of established hotel brands

• Rate Parity

OTAs commit hotels to consistent rates across all channels

• Indirect Relationships Intermediaries are now controlling the customer relationship

• Loyalty

Hotels struggle to develop customer loyalty due to the breakdown in the direct relationship

with the guest

THE CHALLENGES

Fixing the broken hotel reward system…

Loyalty programs are expensive to run

Terms & Conditions are confusing

Cumbersome redemption procedures

Inflexibility in redemption of rewards

Points are only redeemable at source

Focus is on rewards and do not create loyalty

How it Works

OUR APPROACH

In the Trippki model part of each booking payment is converted into Trip tokens, a portion of which are given to

the customer as a loyalty reward on completion of their stay. We call this model Proof of Stay.

Our USP

• Differentiated to existing OTAs on platform, price and approach

• Niche marketing strategy to establish foothold in the on-line booking space

Heavily focused on affiliations , referrals and content marketing

(e.g. not focusing on Google ad words/pay per click)

Build Trippki brand awareness

• Customer focus is the crypto-community

Large growing market base who travel

Personal referral marketing programs

• Target hotel and accommodation segments

Small independent hotel groups (significant commission price advantage)

Niche market sectors (e.g. safari and eco-tourism lodges)

High volume, on-line booking platforms that do not currently offer loyalty rewards (e.g. channel managers)

Identity and Reputation Layer

• Guest downloads the Trippki App and creates a unique identity on a public key

• Guest builds up reputation based on stays and spending behavior

• The Hotel uses the public key to verify the identity of the guest and to validate the guest reputation
