For the first time, a boutique resort in the South East Asian country of Indonesia, is selling Non Fungible Tokens or NFTs on auction in order to provide hotel perks to customers. The auction is supposed to take place on the NFT marketplace known as Refinable, which is a Binance chain-based NFT marketplace.

A blockchain property investment group known as the LABS Group had raised a staggering amount of $3,650,000 with the help of Non-Fungible Tokens for Kunang Kunang Resort. The first of its kind, Kunang Kunang Glamping Resort is the first project in the entire world to have community ownership. The project was fractionalized into NFTs termed as Rewarding Timeshare or RTS. 

The NFTs have completely transformed the way in which the investors gradually build their portfolio in a diverse manner. They do this while providing unlimited access to a diverse set of assets, the ability to continue trading 24/7 and by providing much lower transaction costs. 

The aforementioned auction was able to gather an estimated 1095 RTS NFTs with entry barriers much lower than others and of course, with an ocean of benefits along with it. Through this initiative of fractionalizing the Kunang Kunang Resort, investing in a resort or a hotel is easier and widely available, thanks to the LABS Group who made the whole thing possible. 

Yuen Wong, who is the Chief Executive Officer of the LABS Group, mentioned that LABS is a digitised investment ecosystem operating in the domain of real estate. And is completely powered by blockchain technology. With the help of this innovative concept and this digitised platform, they make investing in real estate a real possibility for common individuals who are willing to invest. 

The use of blockchain technology has enabled them to bring the opportunities directly to the investors, which otherwise would have to be done with a middleman acting as a mediator. The blockchain-based application has rendered the middlemen completely useless and hence they can now deal with the investors directly and as a result, the company is making more time and money, thereby adding more value to the company. In addition to that, he stated that the LABS Group has made it much easier for cross-border transactions to take place and has also taken care of all kinds of diligence on behalf of the investors.
