After this last “stealth” month I am very excited to showcase at ITB Berlin - the world’s leading travel trade show - what has been cooking at Peakwork AG and we are now introducing: our novel Web3 Travel Platform, powered by the next level of travel technology. If you want to know more about solutions for vouchers + trading + loyalty in complex cross-partner scenarios, yet featuring delightful and seamless UX for businesses and travelers, then come by the booth and have a chat with Manuel Saballus, Christian Liebig or myself: we will be delighted to talk about your next Web3 project. ...

Last week’s Forum Retail was impressive for the level of attendance and cases demoed / exposed, but also for the attention around cutting edge tech. It was great to share Alpitour’s vision for the #metaverse and experience with #nft, both Ca’ di Dio’s and the upcoming drops at VRetreats (keeping within our zero-spoiler policy 😊) The key lessons learned and thus the focus for next implementation will be on 👉 The intersection of techs to address advert targeting challenges, in the upcoming privacy-first world without third-party cookies, and how #blockchain can play a role there (hint: world-wide anonymized CRM!) 👉 Merging an NFT purchase back into the travel shopping funnel to make the best of both worlds in terms of customer journey: here no magic wands provided by Web3 in its actual state, it is all to be explored. ...

On Oct 25th I will speak at Forum Retail in Milan, about #NFT and new travel shopping experiences in the metaverse and IRL, as we envisage and implement them at Alpitour. Join me! And if this is not enough 😊 get a glimpse of a full day’s programme with all other speakers at the biggest Networking Hub for the Italian retail community, here: forumretail.com/agenda (original) #ForumRetail #IKNItaly #networking Originally posted on LinkedIn

Vanity Fair just published its first NFT cover featuring Italian singer Elodie, and while they were at it :) they’ve also interviewed me about first-ever #NFT #roomnight at VRetreats Ca’ di Dio.

And now for some groundbreaking innovation in #traveltech: Ca’ di Dio Venice is auctioning the first night in the hotel in a worldwide exclusive. Our 5 stars luxury hotel, by Vretreats, will open its doors at the end of August 2021. 🎉 To celebrate the event THE FIRST NIGHT EVER, August 19, is on sale on OpenSea as an #NFT. The winner of the auction will have the opportunity to spend the first night in the hotel in total exclusivity. You understood correctly! There will be no other guests, just you! ...

One specific night, say the 15th of August for a specific apartment, is a digital item on sale in the markets, right now, in a website and OTAs. It can also be an NFT, be sold and transfered between people, until someone buys it last and comes to stay. Luca De Giglio is on to something here, besides the buzzword :) #nft as a mean to track and trade unrepeatable instances of experiences such as a night’s stay? Food for thoughts #traveltech ...
