Who is @Romania ?
@Romania is an NGO based in Bucharest, Romania with a mission to accelerate the country’s tourism promotion and develop blockchain-powered tools which democratize how we plan, book and travel.
@Romania NGO
The main goals of @Romania are to promote and facilitate smart travel to Romania and become a self-sustained AI-driven tourism DAO, powered via the Elrond ecosystem. Right now, even though travelers own their time and money and business owners have property, someone else owns the relationship between the two. @Romania aims to change the status quo and empower people in tourism via DeFi.
Past
- @Romania NGO was established in March 2019, just a few months before the Elrond Technical Whitepaper V2 release. They have built a 1 million+ audience via social media and started working on a vision to change tourism in Romania using blockchain technology.
Present
- Today, @Romania is the most influential tourism brand in the country. The NGO is currently working on a decentralized platform that fuses blockchain technology and tourism into a viable democratic solution for smart travel. Using the funds raised by Stramosi, they are starting project development and reinforcing community growth.
Future
- @Romania will revolutionize the way we use tourism by bridging the gap between travelers, local people and businesses, with no need for third party involvement. Tourists and business owners will be able to interact and exchange time and value in a completely decentralized environment throughout the country, increasing Elrond adoption.
@Romania DAO
@Romania will create unique visitor experiences across the country and connect people in tourism using the Elrond blockchain. They are building an ecosystem that anyone can take part in and collaborate to boost the country’s tourism. With over 500k people involved in tourism in Romania and millions of annual visitors, @Romania will be a sure way to increase Elrond adoption.
Building on Elrond
- Tourism businesses from all over the country will be linked via a decentralized AI-driven platform that will manage everything from weekend trips to goal-oriented explorations. We will build at least 10 new tourist attractions and integrate an existing prominent destination to bring in the next 10 million+ annual visitors. Tickets will be Elrond NFTs that people can acquire or earn and sell on the marketplace, generating more transactions on the Elrond network.
Owning the Brand
- Like in a lot of other places, Romania’s tourism brand and tourism promotion are controlled by a centralized entity that doesn’t deliver results and lacks future-proof strategy. Having a decentralized organization will provide a much better solution for brand awareness, while democratizing individual promotion of tourism.
Decentralized Travel
- @Romania DAO is going to change the way we perceive travel destinations and manage tourism real estate. Using @Romania’s platform, people will have a decentralized environment where they will own and exchange travel experiences. They will be able to use holiday real estate for their personal enjoyment or to earn passive income.
