While travel can be an exciting or relaxing way to escape the grind of your daily life, most of us have experienced firsthand the annoyances, difficulties, and frustrations that can come with it.  We want to hear what your biggest challenge is when traveling or planning a trip, and your idea for how to solve it!

Deliverables

We are interested in new products and services that will solve YOUR travel-related problems (think of your biggest inconveniences, obstacles, etc.). Your travel problems and solutions can relate to the planning phase of a trip, or the actual travel or return portions.  Specifically, answer the following: 

  1. What is your biggest frustration / hassle when it comes to travel?  Is there something that always seems like it is "harder than it should be?"  Tell us about your frustration and why it is a frustration for you.
  2. What NEW product or service would you create to solve this issue?  (think about something you wish existed that would improve or eradicate your issue from part 1.  For example, "It would be great if....")
  3. What would you be willing to pay for this new product or service?

Considerations:   We aren't in the transportation industry, so please think outside of delayed flights and traffic headaches.  Instead, please focus on the research and planning of a trip, or the trip itself from the point when you arrive in your destination.
