Hut Town
Living the culture while the whole town hosts you
Hut Town is a new hosting concept. A hut is built in different points of the city town, making the host everywhere. With this distribution, the users can choose a hut wherever they want on town. Through Hut Town APP, users can see in the town map the hut distribution, book it and see what is happening near them.
The challenge
Fulfill the new generation of travelers needs and help the community around the host.

Needs addressed
Tourists are no more just someone who wants to see how a city looks like, they are becoming explorers, they are hungry to have an approach with the local people and culture. So how do hospitality services fulfill those needs? Now at days it is very popular to book an Airbnb, which is actually giving the chance to meet people of the city visited. Why do people prefer to stay in shared spaces rather than a hotel?The answere is simple sometimes, it is even cheaper than a budget hotel, the home environment is very cozy and it is pretty easy to book it online.
