Georgia4travel: Tourist Portal for the Georgian Market
Tourism website development for a platform that connects users with top tours in Georgia. Tour guides can showcase their offerings, while partners earn through widgets and affiliate links.
Customer
Georgia For Travel LLC.
Background
Our customer faced a problem of the lack of a tool that would help spread awareness about tourists’ attractions in Georgia. The goal of the project was to create a space to help professional and verified tour guides get extra income and provide a safe environment for travelers to refer to and get the full information about the tour they are going to book. They wanted to include a partnership system where widgets are installed in their blogs on personal pages to generate additional traffic for the site while providing extra income for the partners.
Solution
The platform we developed has become a handy tool for Georgian tour guides who can now benefit from the online presence and feedback/rating they receive from the satisfied customers. This increases competition and service standards thus creating demand and loyalty to the platform.
Business Task We Have Solved

Internet presence has improved the demand for tourism due to more transparency and online booking features.
