A Tourist Digital Identity with Blockchain technology acts as a Digital Identity dual factor authentication- based technology that sits on top of a BlockChain. The concept of a TouristID was launched in Malta at the SunX Malta First Annual Climate Friendly Travel Think Tank.

The system is totally decentralized and can be operated at national or local level using a distributed identity ledger run by trusted parties spread across the BlockChain.

WISeKey, a pioneer of Digital Identification and BlockChain, is already implementing digital identity blockchain projects in many countries.

This new #TouristID BlockChain platform integrates state-of-the-art technologies related to Digital Identity and BlockChain which are in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals aiming on providing every person on the planet with a solid and tamper-proof digital identity based on common, interoperable standards by 2030 and launched during the ID2020 Summit Harnessing Digital Identity for the Global Community’ held at the United Nations.

This morning in Qawra, Malta, Hon. Julia Farrugia Portelli addressed members of the SunX Malta Climate Friendly Travel Think Tank on the Government of Malta’s commitment to establishing itself as a center for Climate Friendly Travel.

The key takeaway from the meeting was that the eXistential Climate Crisis requires even more urgent action by the entire global Travel & Tourism sector than has been generally recognized to date.

The Government of Malta, in its role as ally and partner, has committed to become a global Centre of Climate Friendly Travel. Malta’s Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection, Hon. Julia Farrugia Portelli, was on hand to conclude the meeting and discuss the findings of the Think Tank.
