ARE YOU READY TO HOST THE MINIONS?
A TRAVEL-PARTNER MOBILE APP
THE BIG IDEA
Rocket Internet as “One stop solution for all travel needs”
Create an app interface that connects all sub-brands of RI, Brazil* Whether the tourists are looking for accommodation, food or transport, it would direct them to the relevant application
Advertise this at all airports, subway stations & bus stops* Place QR codes that direct the users to this master-app

OPPORTUNITIES
Categorize cuisines “Country-Wise” on home-page
Promise to deliver – anywhere, anytime (even if the customer is at the corner of a street)Use Geo-Tagging to trace the exact location of the customer (integrate that feature in the mobile app)
Recommend restaurants nearby, for dine-in, using location-based push notifications
• Rio Metro has two underground lines and plans are in place to extend one of these by 14km, adding six more subway stations
• The system will be able to carry 230,000 passengers per day and is expected to be completed by December 2015
• Extensive bus and train improvements are also under way
OPPORTUNITIES
Use Geo-Tagging to List users by location
Give the tourists a platform to “share a cab” (to the stadium, to the museum or for city tour)
Listing of Rent-a-cycle service, in collaboration with BikeRio
OPPORTUNITIES
List users by nationalities
Mention where people of the user’s nationality are residing
List live-screening locations such as: Rio’s Copacabana Beach
Introduce a section of “free accommodation” listings – like the concept of Couchsurfing
OPPORTUNITIES
Even during FIFA world cup, the website does not list Football Jerseys
Make “official football kits” of all participating countries available on Kanui
List “local souvenirs” on Dafiti which the tourists may want to take-back-home
CRM Solution – Track the customer’s sales pattern (using a single user profile, on both e-retail websites) and offer Loyalty Program based offers & discounts
They no longer have to own and maintain the additional servers to support peak loads at FIFA & RIO periods. Instead, through cloud technologies, they can simply sign up for more capacity on an as-needed basis.
