NFTrip: A Web3 Application for Enhancing Tourism Experience

Abstract

Lack of historical and cultural knowledge often leads to reduced tourist satisfaction, a gap that existing tourism services have yet to bridge. In response, we developed NFTrip, a Web3 application that integrates NFTs and gamification to enhance tourism learning and satisfaction. Users earn destination-specific NFTs by completing history and culture quizzes, fostering deeper engagement with tourist sites. Additionally, NFTrip lowers barriers to Web3 adoption by providing an intuitive, beginner-friendly interface with clear technical explanations, helping users not only acquire NFTs but also understand their value and security. Initial evaluations suggest that NFTrip effectively promotes learning about tourist destinations, improves tourist satisfaction, and highlights a novel value proposition for NFTs in the tourism industry by making their utility and importance more comprehensible to users.
