Reach the next generation of tourists
Be local
Make sustainable tourism more accessible
Nudge towards more sustainable options.
Sustainability is fast becoming one of the top issues that people care about when travelling, but it’s difficult for most tourists to understand the impact of their travel activities and trips. Most information on sustainability is buried in academic articles and reports that an average tourist will never see. You might wonder “who even reads this”. We do. And we don’t just read them, we convert them into machine-readable datasets.
We gather insights from sustainability reports, and also aggregate data from national and local governments, public APIs and any other impact data in the public domain.
But that’s not where our work ends. We believe sustainability should be an integral part of the decision-making process for tourists and companies in the travel and tourism industry. So we developed ‘Marvin’, the world’s first data engine, designed to generate insights into the local dynamics of tourism systems.
So whether you’re interested in how a trip with whale watching affects jobs in towns in Iceland, or how your water-savings investments in a hotel have helped access to water in local villages in Jordan, we can get those insights with Marvin.
