STUART'S IDEA: Zeppelin cruise trips around Australia and beyond

Seeking a Tour Operator with vision who wants to invest in real eco tourism.

+ What is your name?

Stuart

+ Where are you located?

Australia

+ In one sentence, tell us about your idea.

Imagine sightseeing tourism with a 10 day Flying adventure of major Australian Eco sites Kakudu , Kimberley, Uluru etc with your bed and dining on board at low slow level.

+ Describe your ideal collaborative partner or partners.

This is an idea that has been around for years. It now needs support from a Tor Operator with vision who wants to invest in real eco tourism.

+ What is the most immediate or most pressing challenge you're facing right now?

I have a fully trained pilot and logistical support person who I have been talking to. Now we need collaboration with CASA, Tourism bodies and a a imaginative tour company.

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

Its green - low emission backed with solar power generation and being able to see places from the air with a new perspective without having to be strapped in -cruising - with all the attributes of sea cruising. Comfort, luxury with the ability to land almost anywhere sea or land.

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

This was first mooted by Dr Gabriel Khoury back in the 80's and I used this source to write a project for heavy lift Transport. It is all possible and there are a number of companies able to produce the product but no one has taken the last step of using this.

+ Who will benefit the most from your idea?

Tourism - Clients being able to reach normally rugged areas - including especially those with disabilities in a comfortable manor. The environment as this will be a very low carbon footprint once flying. It can also be easily converted to accessible humanitarian aid missions.

+ Ideally, when would you launch this idea?

Two years from now

+ Indicate which UN goals your idea relates to?

Affordable and Clean Energy Quality Education Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure Responsible Consumption and Production Partnerships to achieve the Goal Climate Action

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

People - To be able to visit places with a completely different perspective. Quiet, safe, comfortable Planet - Very Low consumption of fuels incl solar power generation and little to no infrastructure required Profit - So many potential options - Luxury tourism should be profitable within 5 years - Charter operations for Humanitarian aid and support etc for fire fighting, abilty to be converted to transport for direct pick up and delivery of large items of machinery to remote sites
