Since ancient times, many people have gone on trips to discover the world and discover new territories, with trade, diplomatic, military, religious and other missions. All these travelers needed certain services from the local population in terms of accommodation, food, etc. Historically, the first enterprises of the tourism industry were taverns that used the dubious reputation of houses of tolerance.
In ancient times, the main motives for travel were a trade, education, pilgrimage, treatment. In ancient Greece, sports trips (the Olympic Games) also began. The development of trade led to the massive construction of roads, inns, taverns. Some inns for luxury did not differ from the houses of wealthy people. The Roman aristocracy actively participated in recreational trips - to their villas, to the sea, to the mountains.
In the Middle Ages, the religious factor intensified among the travels - huge masses of people rushed to Christian and Muslim shrines. And only the Renaissance era weakened religious motives and strengthened the individual character and educational orientation of travel. Young people often went on a tour of Europe before taking up a profession. The European Society rested on the resorts of Switzerland, Germany, Austria, Greece and Italy.
The tourist product has finally turned into an economic category only in conditions of mass tourism. The intensity of tourism is an indicator that gives an idea of which part of the country's population annually makes at least one trip. When the intensity of tourism is above 50%, we can say that in this country - tourism is massive. The country's tourist balance is the ratio between the value of goods and services sold to foreigners in a given country and the cost of goods and services sold to citizens of that country abroad. If the balance of the tourist balance is positive, then say that for the economy of this country tourism is active (Thailand, Switzerland), if negative - passive (Germany, Russia).
Tourism, in addition to huge economic importance, plays a big role in expanding the boundaries of mutual understanding and trust between people of different religions and cultures. Tourism activities are not limited only to trade in goods and services and the search for new trading partners. It is also aimed at establishing relationships between citizens of different countries for the preservation and prosperity of the world.
The task of tourism development requires solving many related tasks, for example, the development of the transport system, the development of the catering system, the improvement of the image, the development of the information infrastructure.

My consolidated valuation is consisted of:
v1 - weighted average, except for the highest and lowest estimates “Expert and analytical evaluation”:
4.2+4.07+4.35+3.9+3.9+4.8+4.6+4.6=34.42/8 = 4.3
v2 - my weighted average evaluation: 1) WEBSITE-3.5; 2) WHITE PAPER-4; 3) TEAM-4; 4) ADVISORS-4; 5) VISION-4.5; 6) PRODUCT-3.5; 7) CROWDSALE-3.5; 8) MEDIA-3.5; 9) PARTNERS-4; 10) The current position of the global crypto-currency market-3;
3.5+4+4+4+4.5+3.5+3.5+3.5+4+3=37.5/10 = 3.75
Final “Ramon’s rating” for Cool Cousin ICO = (v1 + v2) / 2; 4.3+3.75=8.05/2 = 4.025
4.025 of 5.0 points - very good score, obtained on strict criteria and impartiality and also taking into account the current state of the global crypto-currency market.
Of course, COOL COUSINE deserves special attention, as the rapidly growing tourism industry is an economically promising area for both the private and institutional investors. Undoubtedly, it is worth paying close attention to this project and ICO. After all, there are simply no such offers for today in the market for primary placement of tokens.
