MVP Concept (Innovation Labs Finalist)
The Opportunity
Local tourism still runs on fragmented discovery. Guests queue at hotel front desks for recommendations, hotel staff repeat the same answers, and local attractions lose demand because they remain invisible at decision time.
The Navi MVP is designed for the moment when tourists actually decide what to do next. Research from the pitch shows that 76% of activities are booked day-of or day-before, making real-time relevance more important than static travel content.
Instead of treating hotels, attractions, and tourists as separate flows, Navi integrates them into one operating layer: better recommendations for users, better conversion for partners, and less repetitive operational load for hotel teams.
Navi is currently an MVP validation project focused on research and interface testing.
