What 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:

  • A range of comprehensive, pre-designed, customisable trips created by our users with local knowledge of the intended destination. Trips are suggested based on the traveler’s interests or occasion for traveling.
  • A range of services including both sides of the travel industry such as hotels & home rentals, restaurants & amateur chefs, professional tour organisers & local hobbyists, taxis & local drivers. Services can be organised into trips or booked separately.
  • A chatbot with a voice feature to allow travelers to find trips with a voice command or a single instant message.
  • A token-based model to incentivize usage and promotion of the platform.
  • A set of smart contracts to allow service providers to publish their service on the Blockchain with no booking fee.
  • A set of oracles to access the right data on the Blockchain
  • A set of proxies to access smart contracts by non-blockchain apps
  • A hybrid portal to access both the centralized and decentralized services in an easy and seamless way
  • 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.

    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.

    March 2018

    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.

    Jun 2018

    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.
