I need a feedback for my unique travel start up

[AnastasiaC7]

Hi everyone! 2 years ago I had the idea to create a new travel format:
I use Artificial Intelligence to match travellers and local people based on their personality and interests. Each traveller is matched to 7 locals and then chooses a travel activity one of them offers.
The idea is kind of simple: like-minded people are certain to have memorable experiences together (sometimes even turning into a friendship). Meeting your like-minded people abroad and sharing experiences together has always been random and a matter of luck. I just want this to happen every single time people travel.
It is named "Citizen Seven"
and to this day we are testing different hypotheses of attracting travelers, trying different concepts, this is a very long and difficult path. But I believe that we are on the right track!

I will be glad to receive any feedback!

How are you vetting these 7 locals? How do I know they aren't going to steal my money? Why do I need 7 locals? Why can't I just discover things on my own?

Im struggling to understand the concept. Can you please give an example of what the process would be from a customers point of view?

I can see how this might appeal to certain groups /audiences

Who are you looking to target initially?

What research have you done on them?

How will you monetise it?

Some travel companies have already started using AI suggestive profiling to match packages to customers when looking for holidays. Like Fisicx I would be wondering about vetting and the role these 7 Locals have.

Are these 7 locals just regular people with similar interests or are they the activity suppliers?

Think you need to explain this a bit clearer

Hi fisicx,
the main idea of this platform is the selection of local people based on your character and interests. You only need to take a personality type test consisting of several questions. And based on the results, the platform will give you 7 locals with similar interests. You can choose any person from 7.

@AnastasiaC7 What is the purpose of the hosts? To arrange activities? To be a tour guide? Be a holiday friend?

Don't think its a bad idea, however think it needs to be developed/evolved and who you are trying to attract with concept.

What is your SafeGuard system for hosts? How are you vetting guests? How do hosts get paid ? And if you think this is new I don't think you can have done your research. Heard of couch surfing? Hosts advertised themselves on the site and travellers could match with them based on common interests/locations.
