Companies New Frontier and Enjin signed an agreement this week with the goal of transforming the tourism industry through Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs), a press release reported.
Through QR codes and blockchain products, New Frontier aims to change the tourism industry, as 1/4 of Web 3.0 visitors want digital experiences when visiting places in the real world.
Proudly official partners of @enjin , let’s bring new layers of interaction and revenue for the tourism industry! 💪 https://t.co/6GFzd6XSEF

In that sense, New Frontier will enhance the experience of web surfers around the world by enabling them to earn rewards through the Enjin ecosystem in the following ways:
- Loyalty and rewards programs.
- Crypto-gaming.
- Treasure hunts.
- Registrations.
- Booking incentives.
- Access to events.
Using Enjin’s blockchain product stack and Beam’s QR codes, New Frontier is enabling tourism agencies around the world to digitally enhance and gamify the visitor experience, with NFTs that provide utility through loyalty and rewards programs, games, scavenger hunts, registration and booking incentives, storytelling, event access and more.
Enhancing visitor experience with Blockchain
“We intend to be an adoption conduit for the rest of the Enjin ecosystem. Tourism has the potential to unlock the problems seen in the gaming industry by showing the positive and engaging side of NFTs.” – Graeme Stevens, Co-Founder, New Frontier
New Frontier believes that NFTs enhance and complement the physical visitor experience, creating a digital layer of interactive fun and engaging visitors before and after their visit.
