Example: Expanding the Scope of Hafh's Travel X Project

At Kabuk Style, while working on the Travel X project for the Hafh platform, we
initially focused on a narrow scope—integrating Hotelbeds API to expand our
accommodation offerings. This was expected to enhance our property portfolio by
around 50%, which was already considered a significant win.

However, during the early stages of market research and user feedback analysis,
I identified a much larger opportunity. By exploring blockchain technology, we
could revolutionize the traditional subscription model, offering a unique,
secure, and scalable travel subscription service. This would not only increase
our property offerings but also position Hafh as an industry leader in
innovative travel solutions.

I presented this broader vision to the leadership team, backed by data and
potential ROI, showing how this approach could expand our customer base beyond
traditional travelers to tech-savvy, privacy-conscious users. Initially, there
was some resistance due to the perceived complexity and risks of implementing
blockchain. However, I convinced key stakeholders by demonstrating the long-term
benefits and market differentiation this could offer.

As a result, the project was expanded to include the blockchain-powered
subscription service. This led to a 90% increase in our property portfolio, a
30% boost in bookings, and positioned Hafh as a pioneering platform in the
travel industry, far exceeding the original expectations.
