TRAVEL WITH ME
description
THE PROBLEM:
Have you bored with mass-produced, impersonal souvenirs?
Do you want to get to the city like Vancouverites do, with a smaller environmental footprint?
THE SOLUTION:
Our product, TRAVEL WITH ME, is a travel system where you customize and assemble your own travel diary, then use it as a travel guide. The diary experience starts with the production of your own unique diary.
The production booth allows you to select information that is most relevant to your trip, including suggestions for local events and activities. The diary provides information about different aspects of Vancouver, guiding you to truly experience the city – just like the locals do. By the end of your trip, you will have a unique souvenir.
THE INNOVATION:
This seemingly ordinary travel diary is actually designed to influence systems of travel. The innovation is the system itself with its focus on the local (the content can be changed to suit any city) to enhance the travel experience, as well as its focus on tailoring and self-assembly so the product is unique and a true souvenir. Through its unique memories generation system, TRAVEL WITH ME leads visitors to make environmentally sustainable choices, both during their trip and once they return home.
