Videocalls to answer about travel questions, made by locals. If I want to go and visit Italy I can pay a time token (i.e. 19$ for 1 hour) and chat with an italian asking questions about Milan, Rome, daily habits, etc...
- MVP can start on Google Hangout with low tech involved
- You can connect with locals before your trip
- Makes people earn money thanks to their knowledge
- Can be used for more than travel tips: language lessons, etc...
- Can work live, but also "offline": I ask for a question and I receive a video answer later
- Verification of locals identity and knowledge
- Good insurance is needed. What if a tourist is tricked by a local to make something dangerous or at worse into a robbery?
- Hard to scale
- Once not an MVP anymore you need some tech for video conferencing
- A money back guarantee should be offered
