Built a travel startup- would love honest feedback on the idea
We have been building a startup called Tourizzy for the last months and we’d genuinely love to hear what people think about the concept.
The idea is pretty simple:
locals and creators can create video walking tours for tourists and earn money when people buy them.
Instead of classic travel guides with lots of text, the tours are made from short videos connected to map locations. So when someone visits a city, they can walk around while following videos from someone local showing hidden places, food spots, stories, viewpoints, bars, etc.
We started this because we noticed that most travel content today feels either too generic, overly commercial, or disconnected from the actual local experience. We wanted something that feels more personal and creator-driven.
Right now the app is still in beta, but we already have our first creators uploading tours in different cities.
The business model is:
- creators set prices for their tours
- tourists buy access
- creators earn commission from purchases
We’re still figuring out a lot as we go, especially around scaling, creator acquisition, and whether tourists would actually prefer this over traditional guides or free TikTok content.
Would genuinely appreciate honest opinions:
- Would you use something like this while traveling?
- Does the idea sound scalable?
- What would be the biggest weakness/problem you see?
Thanks!
