Developing a Responsible Tourism App: Concept and Design

This project report details the concept and design of a responsible tourism application aimed at enhancing the travel experience while promoting responsible behavior among tourists. The application addresses key problems faced by travelers, such as lack of awareness regarding local customs, social norms, and fair pricing. The app provides crucial information on cultural significance, local transport, food costs, emergency services, and 'to-do' lists for each destination. It incorporates features like chat functionality for traveler interaction and a revenue generation model through advertisements, third-party booking, and partnerships with local businesses. The report also discusses demographic targeting, stakeholder benefits, functionality, design features, communication messages, and responsible tourism principles. The application's goal is to empower travelers with the knowledge to act responsibly, respect local cultures, and avoid scams, ultimately contributing to a more enriching and sustainable tourism experience.
