Travelers often struggle to plan and book real-life local experiences during their trips, leading to missed opportunities for immersive travel. Our idea is to create a mobile application that connects travelers with local experience providers for a more authentic and personalized travel experience. The app will display various experiences available at the destination, including tours, activities, and events, and travelers can easily book an experience that suits their schedule and preferences.
Overall, our app aims to improve the accessibility of local experiences, enhance the travel experience for tourists, and support local guides in showcasing their services to a wider audience.
Technology: To make the app user-friendly and accessible, we will be using React Native for cross-platform development. We will also incorporate geolocation technology to suggest experiences based on the user's location.
Revenue model:
1. Booking fees: We will charge a small booking fee in addition to the cost of the experience itself when a user makes a booking through the app.
2. Featured ads: That will allow the local guides to make their ad appear at the top or within a prominent section of the app.
Scalability: Our app has the potential to scale as we plan to expand to different cities and countries, adding more experiences and partnering with more local guides to offer a variety of tours and events.
Competitive advantage:
• User interface and experience.
• Ratings and reviews
• Real-time chat
• Personalization.
• offer exclusive experiences.
Potential target users:
• Tourists who want to immerse themselves in local experiences and culture without breaking the bank. They may be interested in activities such as food tours, historical walks, or cultural events.
• Adventurous visitors who want to explore the destination beyond the usual tourist spots. They may be interested in outdoor activities, such as hiking or kayaking, or in unique experiences like learning a new skill or participating in a local festival.
• Our app is designed to cater to a diverse range of interests and budgets, making it a valuable tool for anyone looking to explore and discover new experiences.
Additional technology: (to be validated)
Augmented reality: live streaming of events or tours, or using 360-degree video to give users a more immersive experience.
it could be beneficial for individuals who are physically unable to travel or participate in certain experiences due to health or mobility limitations. It could also be useful for individuals who are unable to afford travel or the cost of certain experiences but still want to experience something new and exciting. Additionally, individuals who are hesitant to travel due to safety concerns or other reasons could benefit from this.
Overall, the ability to experience real-life experiences from home can make these experiences more accessible to a wider range of individuals, allowing them to explore and learn about different cultures and traditions from the comfort of their own homes.
1- Self-managing tour schedule: Tourists often struggle to plan and organize their tour schedule effectively, leading to missed experiences and wasted time. 2- Difficulties finding real-life experiences: Experience providers often promote their services through individual social media accounts or websites, making it challenging for tourists to find and access authentic and affordable experiences easily. 3- Limited awareness of available experiences: Tourists may not always know what experiences are available at their destination, leading to missed opportunities to immerse themselves in local culture and activities.
With our app, tourists can easily search for, and book experiences offered by local guides. The app will also suggest experiences based on the user's location, making it easier for tourists to discover new experiences. Our solution enables tourists to have a more immersive travel experience, making their trip memorable and enjoyable.
