In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

Our team has an idea to encourage travellers' experiences and sustainability practices during travelling by using a gamification self-guided tour app called GoGreen.

Finish this sentence: My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...

Partners working in the tourism industry with a commitment to sustainable development, travel bloggers willing to contribute to the project, and IT experts currently working on the platform/app/mobile phone gaming platform/social media platform development. The site may feature digital graphic components, corporate relationships with digital designers are favourable. After the launch of the GoGreen app, feedback from sustainability professionals will be highly considered with hopes to attract professionals onboard with the app.

In regards to finding the right collaborator, what is the most immediate or most pressing challenge you're facing right now?

The most appropriate collaborator network is comprised of individuals from a variety of fields that are experiencing difficulties. It is difficult to bring together all of the partners that are interested in the same idea, as well as the same goals and industry. (Source of images present the idea: Google Photos)

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

Our tourism industry team is concerned about climate change and the ignorance of travellers regarding it. The trouble is that individuals are devoting an inordinate amount of time to virtual life without regard for natural capital depreciation in recent years. It motivates the team who created the app to integrate the virtual platform into the market in order to foster human involvement.

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

The app is an integrated platform based on human trends to achieve goals of sustainability in the community. It encourages travellers to practice sustainability and educate themselves by enjoying the trip like playing a game. The GoGreen app is designed to be as convenient as possible to travellers given that most if not all, have mobiles phones whenever and wherever. A gamified self-guided tour app and social for independent travellers who want to travel to lesser-known places. The tours will feature many local attractions and businesses of each city/province. The idea is to make the itinerary on the app gamified. Travellers who will use the application will be asked to key in some information about their travel plans and interests. Then the app will recommend ideas, places, and activities to visit and do. The travellers can then create their itinerary or use or modify the suggested itinerary. Once they've set the itinerary and date, it will be saved and adapted into a scavenger hunt. During the trips, travellers will visit the sites and do mini-challenges such as posting photos, insights, reviews, etc. The partnered businesses and sites will award the travellers with points, achievements, or discounts when they return to visit. After they complete their itinerary, they will receive some prizes or points that can be stored for their next use. As independent travellers sometimes like to have no set plans for their trip, they also have the option just to visit the partnered businesses and sites. Each site has its own set of challenges that users can accomplish. As for social use, travellers can post their progress on the app itself, and their posts will automatically display to their social media accounts when they link them to the app.

How far does your idea reach?

Global

Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

In a year

Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Tourism Industry, local residents, travellers, app creators, humans in the next generations.

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

Obviously, People would gain from this concept, as they are the primary emphasis. With happy people and a sustainable environment, the Planet will become a more naturally beautiful and green place in the near future, free of the dangers of climate change. Profits would go to social media corporations, gaming design firms, app-web platform designers, and so on, based on the number of app users and advertising revenue generated when the app becomes popular. More tourists will be travelling to destinations that have a set of sustainable practices without compromising any business profit due to renovations.

Making the world a better place can seem daunting. At Sigmund, we have found this list of UN Goals to be a great compass. What UN goals would you say your idea relates to?

Climate Action

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Partnerships to achieve the Goal
