Over the years technology got improved and we saw the advanced way people started doing things. One major technology which affected the world so much was the use of internet. Internet gave the world an opportunity to search for things and do so much online connecting to people all across the globe with ease. All sectors of the economy were affected as with internet gave the opportunity to reach out to a wide range of people no matter where they are. One benefit of the internet use was hotel booking as people now have the ability to search online for a good hotel with good rooms and services and they get to book ahead from wherever they are instead of combing the streets for hours in search of a good hotel. With this the hospitality industry has witnessed a tremendous growth over the years but a close look at it shows there are still some shortcomings which need to be addressed as soon as possible.
A team of experts in an attempt to make hotel booking and experience a lot easier, cheaper, better took out time to fish out some of the challenges which needs quick attention and they discovered the hospitality industry is faced with the various issues listed below;
· Double booking as this happens from time to time and most times to proactively prevent this type of administrative errors, hotels usually invest in a robust Property Management System (PMS).
· Incorrect data like when a customer gets assigned to a non-smoking room after asking for a smoking room.
· Expensive booking portals where charges are between 15% to 25% fees on the booking cost and a part o this is paid by the guest and another paid by the host.
· Platform maintenance as companies spend resources on infrastructure so as to maintain an Over-The-Air service up and running.
· A fee charged for the financial institutions between a customer and a hotel for transactions processing.
· A 3% fee charge for booking an international hotel discreetly from the guest for transaction processing.
· A higher currency conversion fees as when someone pays with foreign currency for room booking, the rates of conversion is usually higher than the normal rate as at the time of booking.
After taking time to analyze all the above listed issues, this team putting their years of experience together, came up with an exciting solution called EMPIRE HOTELS. With this all issues which the hospitality industry has faced for so long will be resolved. Empire hotel is offering a platform which eliminates third parties and leverages the blockchain technology for the facilitation of better data management and transactions system which all hotels will enjoy. A currency which the hospitality industry will use is being offered by Empire Hotels and with it an easy-to-use platform for the general public will be offered and also facilitation of an API for integration with other systems will be done. Empire Hotels offers a platform which makes it possible for hotel bookings to be executed as crypto transactions and all transactions will be executed and stored in a decentralized P2P network giving the platform an opportunity to provide improved data management and reduced costs of transactions when compared to other platforms which can be found in the market.

HOW IT WORKS
Empire Hotels has a platform with which booking transactions and inventory management data are stored in the blockchain network for effective data management. Hoteliers can list their hotels for free on the platform and guests can get to browse through the hotels listed. Payments using cryptocurrency (EMPC tokens) can be done on the platform by guests who will then get converted to fiat and the platform pays to hoteliers. Added services are also rewarded to guest when they use the Empire Hotel’s platform more frequently. Hoteliers will be charged for every booking which will be made through the Empire Hotels platform. Transaction cost will be 2.99% if other cryptocurrencies are used for the booking and 7.99% if fiat currency is used for the booking transaction. There will be no fee charge if EMPC tokens are used for the transaction.
Empire Hotels platform has been specially designed to have three major modules which will give users topclass experience and these modules includes;
· Payment module will allows transactions booked to be completed with both cryptocurrency and fiat currency. Cryptocurrencies like Ethereum and also EMPC tokens can be used by guest to book for rooms and extra benefits like discounts, incentives and value added services will be given to users who use EMPC tokens to pay for services.
· Ratings module as Empire Hotels platform records all user rating in the blockchain network making it transparent and impossible to get altered. This will make guest find the right hotels and also hotels to be aware of what guests needs. Users who register will do identity check (via accredited third-party company) in other to ensure frauds and banned users don’t get to make transactions. The protocol checks user ratings and status each time transaction is initiated to ascertain if the user is eligible and genuine.
· Decentralized Arbitration Module which presents a decentralized and democratic support from Empire Hotels community in case of disputes or claims by counting on random and impartial arbitrations and this adds considerable credibility to the process.
