This document discusses an approach to connecting local guides and travelers through an online platform to provide more authentic local experiences. It notes current problems with tours leaving travelers disconnected from locals and limited local information. The proposed solution is a platform where travelers can search, review listings, and book activities and tours directly with locals. This allows locals to make money by hosting travelers and travelers to save money while having a more local connection. The business model involves PlayPlanet taking a 20% commission on transactions. The strategy involves launching with 50 local partners, focusing on both online and offline community aspects, and using a travel and technology team to have social impact.
