This year, global brands like Starbucks, Alo Yoga, Amazon and more are expanding the utility of NFTs beyond digital art to areas such as ownership verification, memberships, ticketing and metaverse implementations. Although the initial hype around NFTs has decreased in recent months, it is estimated that the global non-fungible token market size will reach $211.72 billion by 2030, and according to Euronews Travel Trend report they are bound to break into the global travel industry this year.
Catamaran Guru has multiple crewed yachts operating successfully in charter business programs in locations around the world. The company has built its reputation and industry connections over 30 years in the business, helping hundreds of successful yachting businesses and individuals create and operate their vessels while building a strong community amongst sailors.
“We recognize that there is a generational change happening in travel and we want to remain engaged and in tune with modern trends and innovation. This collaboration puts our industry front and center of a huge new audience. It is a tremendous opportunity to cultivate a new generation of sailors and adventure seekers and it opens up a completely new market for the yachting industry”, said Estelle Cockcroft, founder of Catamaran Guru.
