Abstract

The tourism industry has been severely impacted by a series of challenges in recent years, including the COVID-19 pandemic, the Russia-Ukraine War, and supply chain disruptions. These adversities have led to economic downturns and high inflation rates, making it difficult for the industry to recover and thrive. The existing situation is characterized by decreased travel demand, reduced revenue for tourism businesses, and limited opportunities for travelers to explore new destinations. One of the major problems faced by the current problem domain is the need to revitalize the tourism industry and stimulate travel activity. Traditional approaches to revive the industry have proved insufficient, and financial constraints have made it difficult for individuals to afford travel expenses. To address these problems, a comprehensive mobile application is proposed, integrating the move-to-earn concept. This concept incentivizes travelers to engage in physical activities while exploring destinations, earning rewards like digital tokens or discounts on travel-related services based on their activity level. By encouraging physical activity and exploration, the app revitalizes the tourism industry, boosting footfall and generating revenue for local businesses. Additionally, the rewards earned through the app provide financial relief and make travel more affordable, thereby overcoming the economic challenges faced by both travelers and the industry. Overall, this solution addresses the existing situation by incentivizing travel and physical activity, promoting local businesses, and mitigating the financial burden on travelers. It offers a comprehensive and innovative approach to revitalize the tourism industry and create a win-win situation for all stakeholders involved.
