In this episode, we dive into the world of TravelFi - the convergence of travel rewards and decentralized finance. My guest is Simon Talling-Smith, Executive Chairman of Voy Travel, a pioneering Web3 startup that aims to reimagine loyalty programs which made it to the Tectris accelerator finals in Zug, at the CV Summit.
Simon shares Voy's mission to solve the problem of billions of unredeemed travel rewards points by leveraging blockchain technology.
We discuss their universal loyalty point system that consolidates rewards into a tokenized currency, allowing users to aggregate points across major travel brands.
A key highlight is Voy's innovative "Stake to Escape" program, enabling travelers to supercharge their rewards by staking crypto assets like Voy Coins and liquidity provider tokens. Simon explains how this novel concept bridges DeFi and travel to help users reach dream destinations faster.
We also explore Voy's vision for tokenized travel experiences through real-world asset tokenization, creating a liquid marketplace to buy, sell and trade future trips.
Simon provides insights into the flexibility and potential this brings to travel planning.
Tune in to learn about this exciting TravelFi venture from the Executive Chairman himself.
