Decentralized Tourism Destinations Rating System Using 6AsTD Framework and Blockchain

A rating assessment of supporting elements in tourism destinations used to provide information for tourists before making a tour. Along with the development of communication technology, each traveler shares data about the ranking of travel destinations through their mobile devices. The commonly used data sharing architecture is the centralized model. However, this architecture still has some weaknesses, so it needs to be improved, for example, through decentralized architecture as developed in this research in a Tourism Destination Rating System (TDRS). This system is a combination of 6AsTD as a framework for assessing the success level of tourism destinations and blockchain as the data-sharing architecture between tourists. The 6AsTD frameworks use six variables as a reference for assessing tourism destinations. The rating results distributed to each traveler's mobile device connected to the blockchain network. Furthermore, the system built-in this study was tested on several tourists in Batu Tourism City. The TDRS can generate assessments that can be quickly submitted to other users using applications connected to the Blockchain network.
