A collaboration between Freedom, a Web3 engagement project and the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT) has been announced. Through the usage of Fuse Network’s blockchain infrastructure, the partnership seeks to improve travel technology experiences using Freedom World, the innovative Web3 community platform.
Thailand will be positioned as a top travel destination that skillfully combines technology and tourism thanks to the collaboration between Freedom and TAT. As a result, it presents another useful use for Fuse Network and is the first government-endoresed initiative of its kind to employ non-custodial technology. Travelers may interact with other travelers, earn rewards, and keep up to date on the latest news by joining the Discover Thailand community via the Freedom World app.
The Freedom World app, a community engagement platform by Freedom, will be used to improve the travel experience by giving tourists access to improved features and services in Thailand. The Freedom World app has gamified activities, incentives, social ratings, interactive maps, metaverse profiles, direct push alerts, and community-building features. Fuse’s scalable blockchain, which is tailored for use cases like loyalty programs and e-commerce, records transactions.
Two notable breakthroughs among these elements are the Scape Game, a metaverse adventure that uses geolocation-based exploration to bring the real and digital worlds together. Players will explore the environment, battle mystical monsters, complete tasks, and collect Freedom Shards—metaverse currency that can be redeemed for both online and offline rewards—as they progress through the game. Users may utilize the map function on the app’s “Me” tab or visit the Scape Community inside the app. The Scape Game’s recently published Alpha Version, which was made available on November 9, is intended to develop with input from a community of committed testers. In an effort to improve Thailand’s tourist scene, the function is dedicated to increasing user engagement and demonstrating effective navigation.
In addition, the Social Rating feature encourages participation and incentive by openly recognizing user efforts within communities. A lively and involved community is eventually created by establishing clear recognition criteria that encourage active involvement and retain top contributors.
Fuse CEO Mark Smargon said:
“It’s great to see governmental organizations utilizing blockchain to obtain practical solutions to specific challenges. Freedom’s partnership with Thailand’s tourism authority will boost local businesses, who will be able to generate additional revenue, while demonstrating the advantages of web3 systems for providing transparency and deep insights into consumer behaviors. It also showcases one of the primary use cases for Fuse, in allowing organizations to operate loyalty programs that incentivize and reward specific actions.”
Kevin Heng, Chief Strategy Officer and Co-founder of the Freedom Ecosystem, commented:
“Freedom is about expanding our collaborative ecosystem where it’s mutually beneficial, as seen with the Fuse chain and Freedom World App. This partnership underscores our commitment to offering web3 solutions where they are most needed, creating sustainable and long-lasting impacts in the micro economy. Freedom is an ideal real-world use case of the Fuse chain, demonstrating how blockchain technology can be seamlessly integrated to enhance travel experiences and support local communities.”
In order to boost tourism, Freedom and TAT’s partnership will first highlight the various attractions of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan, and Koh Tao. It will begin during the more sedate Green Season and eventually expand to other locations throughout Thailand. The project will highlight TAT’s dedication to leveraging digital innovation and showcase the usefulness of the Freedom World app, establishing Thailand as a progressive travel destination for tech-savvy tourists and digital nomads.
Tourists may use the QR code produced by the Freedom World app to pay for products and services at participating businesses. They will get Freedom Shards, which indicate mission advancement, in exchange. These may be exchanged for discounts on travel and food and beverages at local establishments.
With Fuse Network providing the framework for the Freedom loyalty and rewards program, the collaboration between Freedom and TAT demonstrates yet another practical use of blockchain technology. This gives the Freedom World app a web2-like user experience and makes it simple to monitor engagement and campaign performance.
Freedom hopes to demonstrate how blockchain technology can revolutionize the travel industry and help both local communities and tourists by working with TAT.
