I read small part of this post and I can't understand how the blockchain helps tourism? Maybe not blockchain but bitcoin helps tourism, that would be correct but I can't understand why do they used blockchain, than we can to say that html/css helps tourism but that will be wrong like this thread's subject.
It will be good if they integrate bitcoin payment in their shops (not blockchain

) and they will attract not many but small number of people and tourists and people's knowledge about bitcoin will grow. It will be good for country and tourists.
as far as i get from the news,those two countries will going to attract tourists to visit a "new" unpopular places where it's not so often discovered by tourists who most of them are only visiting the landmark of the countries,they will more likely to build an application which is blockchain based to help tourists
