About the Project:
Tribal:
Traveling to Middle Eastern countries, particularly Iran, often presents unexpected challenges due to limited access to reliable local resources. This lack of accessible information can make decision-making difficult, potentially leading to considerable time and financial losses.
Understanding local customs is as essential as knowing regional laws. Access to current information on tourist sites, cultural norms, national regulations, contact details for verified local tour guides, exchange rates, critical locations, and emergency contacts helps travelers plan more effectively. This application provides these essential resources and establishes a trusted connection between travelers and locals before arrival.
The app’s core objective is to empower the local workforce, particularly in small towns and villages, by facilitating international connections and creating local job opportunities.
It promotes eco-tourism, encouraging sustainable tourism practices that respect local ecosystems and heritage while fostering economic growth and social integration. This approach aims to support local economies, preserve cultural heritage, and facilitate reverse migration by offering reliable income opportunities within these communities.
