+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

Using open source data about noise pollution to craft "quiet travel" itineraries for highly sensitive people, those suffering from PTSD and others who are just looking for a peaceful holiday.

+ My ideal collaborative partner or partners would be...

My ideal collaborative partner would be someone familiar with analyzing big data and finding additional data sources on noise pollution beyond what I have found so far.

+ What is it about your idea that makes you feel good?

I like the idea of providing holidays to people who need a guaranteed quiet place in order to enjoy it.

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

I have only seen a few articles about "introvert travel" and that is not exactly what I'm interested in because it doesn't address highly sensitive people, those with mental illness, those with PTSD, and others who are triggered by loud noises and therefore avoid taking a holiday.

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Anyone who previously hasn't enjoyed travel because of loud noises/ noise pollution.

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

In a few months

+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Life on Land

Good Health and Well-being

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

It benefits travelers who need a quiet holiday, it encourages visitation to lesser known and touristed locations which helps the natural environment, and it will be structured like a typical tour company and will be profitable as such.
