Inspiration

As a traveller, one of the primary things that is taken into consideration is the safety and security of the destination. With the growth of the tourism sector, there have been constant safety and security challenges that need to be addressed. Problems related to eve-teasing, overcharging, duping, stealing etc. have been noted at several important tourist destinations. Several efforts have been made in the past, but the challenges persist. The inspiration to pursue the problem statement came with the experience of travelling to multiple places and understanding what was missing to make each travel experience the best. Everything isn the world revolves around knowledge and the fact of having the smallest information can make a visitors or daily commuters travel more safe and satisfactory.
