🧳 ‘OneTAC’ your way to immersive tourism, art and culture
Last week at the Bengaluru Tech Summit 2024, we introduced the world to OneTAC—an open network for Tourism, Arts, and Culture—launched in collaboration with Culkey Foundation.
Powered by Beckn, OneTAC enables a tourism model that hands back control to local communities. Its decentralized foundational grid allows for sustainable travel that promotes and preserves local heritage and livelihoods.
The open network offers a creative digital playground for everyone–travellers, businesses, artists, performers, tech builders and thinkers alike. With cutting-edge digital infrastructure, better discovery tools and trusted transactions, it helps shine light on lesser-known destinations and hidden gems.
Bypassing middlemen, travellers curate unique, unforgettable experiences that not only celebrates diverse cultures, but also empowers local businesses, contributing to a more equitable and collaborative tourism ecosystem.
