(Judge's Choice) Trinder #traveltinder | Promoting travel to interesting and overlooked locations through an easy to use app

What is the problem you found?

The problem we identified is that young people are still travelling but only to trendy popular places for these reasons:

• Rural places are unpopular and not visited
• People are not discovering the quiet, reserved places
• Prices increase with popularity
• Air pollution and litter increase due to additional visitors
• Information about rural landmarks

What is your opportunity?

How might we advertise less mainstream locations to travel to?
How might we draw attention to the lesser known tourist attractions?
How might we alleviate traveler's stress when it comes to decision making?

Who is your audience?

Young people who are wanting to easily plan travel to unique locations.

What Is Your Solution?

An app that people will use to easily plan interesting holidays to see a wider variety of places to visit which are not just the main overpopulated locations as we believe other places deserve attention too.
