BLS Schifffahrt AG launches Switzerland’s first “Proof-Of Visit” NFT collection for visitors
BLS Schifffahrt, a Swiss company offering boat trips on Lake Brienz and Thun, announced the launch of its Proof-Of-Visit NFT collection, specially designed for visitors to the famous pier in Iseltwald on Lake Brienz, Switzerland. The innovative new collection allows guests to capture their memories in a unique way in the form of a Non-Fungible Token (NFT).
BLS Schifffahrt sets a new standard in the tourism industry by integrating modern digital technologies into the traditional travel experience. The Proof-Of-Visit NFT collection particularly appeals to visitors with a strong affinity for digital technologies, especially in the Asian market. The dock in Iseltwald became famous throughout Southeast Asia because of the Korean Netflix series “Crash Landing on You”.
The collection includes 500 unique images in comic style of the pier in Iseltwald with various accessories, clothes and other typical elements. Each NFT is a unique collectible randomly issued in three rarity levels: “rare”, “very rare” and “ultra rare”. The purchase price is CHF 30 and each NFT is issued as a postcard-sized card containing a scratch-off field with an associated wallet access code.
“We are thrilled to be leading the travel industry by integrating NFTs into the travel experience,” says BLS Schifffahrt. “Our Proof-Of-Visit NFT collection offers visitors a new way to capture the memories of Iseltwald at Lake Brienz.”
BLS Schifffahrt’s NFT collection is exclusively available on Lake Brienz ships. By introducing this innovative collection, Schifffahrt also hopes to encourage more guests and tour operators to travel by boat instead of bus or coach.

What is an NFT?
An NFT (Non-fungible Token) is a type of digital certificate based on blockchain technology that can represent unique works of art and other assets from the digital and real world. Unlike cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and comparable blockchain tokens, which are “fungible” (ie exchangeable 1:1 with each other), NFTs are – as the name suggests – “non-fungible” as each token is unique. NFT’s allow owners to digitally sell or trade unique assets / collectibles as blockchain technology guarantees their uniqueness and authenticity.
