Project Summary

Problem Identified

Lockdown fatigue led people to overcrowd at tourist places, which is a matter of serious concern for the rise of the third wave, which may lead to higher stress on our healthcare system and a higher mortality rate. As we all know, one of the main contributors to the second wave was overcrowding at different places.

Design Innovation

We identified the need for people to go out, and the need for regulation around tourism as a practice to make it safe and sustainable for everyone. Our proposed solution is a service plan with operational guidelines for both tourists and hospitality providers to make the travel experience safe and fun like crowd-based recommendations, reservation based on a permit system for a hassle-free experience, and instant itinerary based on crowding + interests. Based on the above solutions we can see the impact on the society where lesser-known places are being explored by the customer, hence exchanging cultural values.

Impact On The Society

Due to unbearable quarantine fatigue, many people have become frustrated and anti-social, thus giving them a chance to travel safely we are providing them with a chance to socialize again, Since our platform offers safe alternative ways to travel, many businesses can open back and recover from the losses incurred due to the pandemic. Every day there is a breakthrough in the tech world and in the coming years, our platform can provide an immersive AR/VR experience to the users. Future prospects could include VR immersive experiences of lesser-known tourist places which can motivate them to travel these unexplored spots. Due to the increase in domestic travel and increase in travels to isolated places, we are supporting the local businesses which are badly affected by lockdown.
