The Idea
We have the crazy idea to transform end-users digital choice as a financial instrument to help nature protection and conservation efforts where tourism occurs and develops.
The Vision
We envision ICT as a way to promote the idea of a "well-being economy". Our vision is disruptive in the OTA market as we take an “environmental design approach” i.e. we take conscious how the design and tools we develop affects/benefits human and non-human stake holders. It also means to imagine the digital-with-the reality in a harmonious symbiosis.
When the Eco conscious booking platform is operational, it will harness the end-user "digital choice" and re-invest part of the collected commissions to finance our Eco-partners projects. With have estimated that with 2 000 booking we can re-invest/donate about €50 000.
The IT Project
The data base consist of pre-confirmed “one week accommodation deals” (7 consecutive night stay) on the basis of “first comes, first serves”. We will connect to our suppliers assets via API. These assets are divided between static and dynamic.
Static: includes the resorts information such as; address, unit size, sleeping capacity, resort amenities & facilities, pictures, check-in/out times, directions, maps etc…
Dynamic: The actual availability in the suppliers DB. For this we need to development web-services to call the suppliers DB. Web-service functions will serve to display the availability in the UI and to confirm availability in the suppliers DB at the moment of payment.
Payment gateway: at the moment of payment, the gateway will direct the net price to our supplier and the remaining/commissions to our account.
The Backend admin panel: a) member’s management including reward system. B) price management for accommodation offers.
Other things to consider: language, currency rates, responsive.
