At Sigmund, we are interested in ideas at the intersection of People, Planet, and Profit. How does your idea support these three categories?

My idea touches all the three intersections. The app will be used by the people who will be travelling. App will help reduce the carbon footprint by saving paper and even promoting hotels and restaurants which follow eco-tourism model. Profit will be an important part of the app as all the hotels and restaurants that will be listed will be required to take an annual membership so that their business are highlighted among the people using the app.
