OpenWhat is Please
Please is a new generation travel platform with a unique approach that fundamentally changes the way people book their travel, saving them time and money, and giving them more control and a more customised experience, while opening the travel industry to the sharing and decentralized economies.
Our approach Includes:
An entire trip, with all its accommodation, transportation, activities and meals can be planned, booked and paid for ahead of time, without the hours of agonizing research and scouring multiple websites. This allows the traveller to relax and enjoy their trip, because all the decisions are already made, and everything is already planned.
Please takes the time, research and pain out of booking an amazing, memorable trip by using local knowledge to integrate the disconnected elements of booking travel.
Please is a hybrid platform that supports both centralised and decentralised computing, allowing us to prosper in today’s centralised environment, and to transition seamlessly as the world moves to a fully decentralised model.
While there are several trip booking sites that appear to be similar to Please, they are all variations of the old do-it-yourself model. That is, the user still has to spend time looking at options, making choices, and then individually booking the different elements of his trip.
These sites offer itineraries in varying degrees of completeness - none are 100% - but these itineraries are created by the platforms, not by knowledgeable locals. All the trip elements are pulled from the booking sites and tour services that are the partners of the platforms. So the traveler is getting an itinerary designed to make the most money for the site, not to give the traveler the best experience.
In contrast, Please gives travelers complete itineraries based on local users or avid travelers’ direct knowledge that can be booked under three minutes or easily customised.
Please offers a comprehensive travel service, that is not available on any other travel booking site.
It is possible that a major travel booking site could pivot into user-created trips, but it’s not likely since they already have about 60% of online booking traffic, and so have little to gain. The possible exception is Airbnb which is trying to expand from just offering rooms to offering other services, like restaurant reservations and local experiences. But Airbnb has a number of issues that make adding complete trips very difficult for them, from their reputation to the limited types of accommodation they offer.

Please Roadmap
Initial idea
The perfect melting pot: The travel industry is too fragmented, blockchain applications are rising, people are looking for more authentic travel experiences.
PoT Development starts
The objective was to find and test different technical solutions (Proof of Technology).
Hybrid platform pivot
Following the cryptokitties impact on Ethereum, we decided not to rely completely on the Blockchain and steer development towards an even more hybrid architecture.
MVP development starts
After the PoT was complete, we started developing our MVP with a much nicer UI, the objective was to demonstrate searching trips and services through voice and deploying services as smart contracts.
MVP Release Production development starts
The beta version was working as expected and we started migrating towards a more robust and scalable architecture. We decided to focus on the centralized part of our xApp and push the decentralized part to after our ICO.
Partners Outreach
We have reached a development stage that allows us to start reaching out to partners. We already got some good feedback and are undergoing partnership discussions.
Trip Creators feedback loop
We have reached out to several trip creators (influencers, guide books, etc.) and have already incorporated a lot of their feedback in our product.
Production launch: Please.com & Please.bot
Our first production-ready products are our marketplace and our chatbot. We are now able to start gathering people to create many trips on our platform.
PreICO
The aim of the PreICO is to give us a head start to work on the decentralized parts of our platform, namely our Blockchain protocol.
Online Advertising Campaigns
We will have enough trips to start the online advertising campaigns to bring travelers on our platform just in time for the 1st summer booking rush happening just after christmas.
ICO
Our ICO acts as our first funding round to accomplish our vision to build and promote the first user-friendly travel platform to bridge the gap between centralized and decentralized services.
Exchanges listing
Following the end of our token sale, PLS will be listed on exchanges.
Production launch: "Trips mobile app"
We will launch our mobile app with an innovative UI to find and book trips quickly and easily on the go.
Production launch: "Decentralized services on Ethereum"
After optimising and auditing our smart contracts, we'll be ready to launch our first decentralized features in a production environment. Auditor will be selected by a Please Assembly vote.
Production launch: "Decentralized services on 2nd blockchain"
After optimising our infrastructure and developing our second set of smart contracts, we'll be ready to bring our second selected blockchain in our production environment.
Marketing Campaign: "Expansion in key cities"
One year after our initial launch, we will know a lot about our users. Our infrastructure and features will be optimized to attract a new massive influx of travelers, trip creators, and service providers.
