In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

My idea is to come up with a platform where tourists can post their stories and pictures about how they were able to sustain eco-tourism around them and utilised resources around them to the fullest without any wastage or actually exploiting resources eg. they preferred walking over booking taxis, no food wastage, choosing only eco-friendly options over plastic and single used materials, disposing garbage in the right bins etc.. They can upload such activities in form of either pictures or proofs and get credits upon doing so. After reaching a certain level with their credit score they can avail coupons. Coupons can be availed at certain cafe's or restaurants or local shops. this way tourists get a promised reward towards their service and also marketing the local shops and restaurants.

BONUS QUESTION: What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

It's a win win for everyone; tourist gets free vouchers by helping the province reduce waste, local vendors gets new tourist coming to their shops for a small discount and nature gets helped as well.

What makes your idea innovative? Why has no one ever done it before?

It is our sole duty to keep nature and our environment clean but we can already observe a steep fall in that support. Hence, in order to bring that on track again we can start by crediting something in order to get the work done and spreading awareness simultaneously
