Pablo Castillo attended this year's A World for Travel event in Seville as a speaker. It is the 1st international event dedicated to the sustainable transformation and development of travel and tourism activities. Tune in to see his interview with Julia, Editor-in-Chief of TOM.travel, to understand how blockchain can play a role in the sustainable transition of tourism.

What an amazing time we had in Lisbon, forging new connections with Airlines and tech providers. 3 takeaways from Anke's presentation "Future-Proof Direct Distribution": (1) Today's direct distribution is on the verge of transformation towards tomorrow's web3 network distribution. (2) Minimized costs and reduced time-to-market through connecting to the network. (3) Camino Network bridges web2 to web3 and fosters the approach: "Connect once, connect to all."

At the FVW Congress in Valencia, Anke reflected on the convergence of AI and blockchain. She used the Camino Network builder Sleap.io as a perfect example of the new possibilities that web3 technologies bring to travel.

We heard lots of interesting talks about the opportunities of blockchain and gained insights on: MiCA regulation, navigating crypto asset regulation in the EU, the importance of improved user experience for mass adoption, the opportunities for NFTs to reimagine loyalty systems. The highlight, however, was Ralf Usbeck on stage with Sophia Rödiger & Harry Behrens from bloXmove and Jonathan K. from peaq discussing decentralized mobility.

Daniel shared his insights on blockchain technology and the Camino Network at the Knowledge Days of the German National Tourist Board. He talked about dispelling crypto myths that are no longer true, and also presented a concept of a local ecosystem managed by a local tourism council and powered by blockchain technology. Great opportunities for destinations to engage with blockchain.

One of our highlights at Phocuswright Europe was hosting the Travel Tech Night in partnership with Phocuswright. The setting was perfect for networking and discussing the promising new business models web3 & Camino Network are bringing to the travel industry.
