17 million Chinese tourists are using blockchain. The point is that the Chinese non-profit consortium FISCO BCOS reports that blockchain-based health records allow Chinese citizens to operate freely as tourists. China: tourism made real by blockchain Since May, the blockchain-based health data system in Macau (it is one of the two special administrative regions of the People's Republic of China, located on the country's east coast) has been recognizing health system identification codes, allowing mainland Chinese tourists to verify their health via a DLT-based system. This is necessary at a time when citizens want to travel to Macau. To date, more than 17 million tourists have cleared customs between Macau and mainland China using just such a health code. The process reportedly takes only about 100 seconds. "The establishment of Macau's blockchain health registry and health system code mechanism greatly improve the efficiency and accuracy of [health] information verification at the border. This is proving to be an effective solution to restore normal travel between mainland China and Macau," - wrote the report on the system. The system encrypts a citizen's medical data and stores it on the FISCO BCOS consortium blockchain. In turn, WeChat's solution, "WeIdentity," is used in the process to transfer data between stakeholders. Everything is done in accordance with Macau's data protection regulations. A tool to combat COVID-19 The health code system was introduced in response to the coronavirus pandemic, which resulted in Macau closing to mainland Chinese tourists as early as the beginning of the year. "Digital health passport" based on blockchain technology was developed by Singaporean government investment firm SGInnovate and local startup Accredify. The companies began work on the system in May. In late September, it was announced that the system had already been used to verify coronavirus records more than 1.5 million times. Last week, local media also revealed that China's Hainan province is also trying out a blockchain-based reward program. All this to boost tourism when China's economy fully reopens.
