nitrousoxide Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Hi guys. I'd like to ask for much needed help, it's regarding my essay which is kind of similar to those 'case studies', I think. I need to come up with an idea for how to solve a certain problem regarding tourism and tourists. The problem is I cant come up with anything unique (and it has to be unique or fairly unique) or something that's not solved already. For example - Many people drive around bigger cities because they cant find a free parking spot. Thats the initial problem. The idea/problem solver would be something like a mobile app which would detect a free parking space within lets say a 110 yards (rougly 100 meters) and direct you to it and it would also disappear when the spot gets occupied. Thats an idea, but its already used and I cant use it. I would like you guys to come up with a unique idea to solve any of the problems regarding tourism. The idea/problem solver doesn't need to be a mobile app in a particular, but if you come up with something good, please write it here. I've been bugging with this for few days now and I cant come up with anything unique. Please help. Every help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Mr. House Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) No, do it yourself, stop being lazy. Or do what I did and don't do it at all, then you can sit on a grand theft auto forum for the majority of your free time in your early 20s.

I already said I've been trying for a couple of days and I can't think of anything. I'm not asking anyone to write the essay, I just want someone to give me an idea to solve a problem and I'll work on that idea into an essay. Just an idea.

Problem solved Actually, I've come to that idea just the other night out of frustration of not coming up with anything lol. However, its not something I can actually work on. Good try though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
na89340qv0n34b09q340 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Look at some tourist stuff that's already out there for some inspiration. Maybe sell the teacher something that's already been made. http://www.timeout.com/travel/features/1169/the-worlds-50-best-travel-apps nitrousoxide 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Writing an essay isn't hard when someone's told you what to write. Thus lazy. I'm only asking for a skeleton, sort of speak. I will still need to make an essay which needs to be a couple of pages long because of word span, I need to re-work the idea into it and explain everything. I'm not asking any of that. I'm just asking that someone gives me an idea in one sentence like I did with parking spaces, that's all. Sure, you can call me lazy if you like, but I'm not. At this point of that assignment, I'm more of getting into desperate stage rather than being lazy. If I could think of something, I would've already done it within these couple of days.

GTA_stu Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 So you have to come up with an idea to combat the disadvantages that having a lot of tourists in one area brings? And you can't think of a single one? Not one? That's pretty weak man. You're gonna fail, and you deserve to. Davo the Assassin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, but only if you write my report on the origins of terrorism in Northern Ireland during the 1970s. Deal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitrousoxide Posted March 13, 2014 Author Share Posted March 13, 2014 So you have to come up with an idea to combat the disadvantages that having a lot of tourists in one area brings? And you can't think of a single one? Not one? That's pretty weak man. You're gonna fail, and you deserve to. Why so harsh? I thought of many things to solve different problems, but it's no use since it's all been heard before and we've been instructed to come up with something unique, otherwise the teacher said it's something he doesn't wish to read if it's already been used. I would've gone with the parking space thing, but I found out it's already been covered. It's not a problem for me to come up with ideas to solve problems, it's the unique idea that's bugging me. I already had at least 3 ideas that have been blown away since I found out every single one was already been covered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shmoopy Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Here is a suggestion : We know that the coach/caravan are the only transportations for tourists to get from town to town , caravan drivers are the worst since they usually aren't familiar with the driving code of the visited country , therefore they may slow down the traffic or even cause some accidents , on the other hand buses are massive and they take a big part of the road , my idea is to provide the tourism agencies with helicopters and construct heli pads in each city especially for them, this will : - Reduce the traffic during holidays - Give tourists the chance to see the whole city ==> no need for towers and scopes - Better satisfaction ==> Increasing the number of tourists each year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stinky12 Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 (edited) Can't find a free parking spot, but if there is a meter parking spot, they're not willing to park there? Also if a person lives in a place where it's difficult to find parking spots, then sell their car, and use mass transit for their daily commute. If they need to go any place further where there is no mass transit, they can either call a cab or better off, rent a car. Problem solved There was a article once that helped tourist. Some places or building have a QR code, tourist can use their smartphone scan the QR code, and it brings them to a Wikipedia page that tells its history. http://www.cbsnews.com/news/worlds-first-wikipedia-town-to-launch-in-wales/ Edited March 13, 2014 by Stinky12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
t3h PeNgU1N oF d00m Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 I would construct a parking garage; it's size depending on how many tourists there are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A J Posted March 13, 2014 Share Posted March 13, 2014 Such assholes on this forum at times, the guy has just politely asked for some inspiration for an essay Perhaps you could look a crime, and how tourists are often easy targets, and solutions that could help alleviate this. For example, I think one problem beach goers / tourists have in some parts of the world is keeping their possessions safe whilst going in the water, you either take them with and obviously try not to drop them or you or risk leaving them unattended / try to keep an eye on them, it takes away from what you wish for a holiday to be, relaxing. Solution could be simply for sun loungers with, inbuilt security boxes! If I think of more, I'll edit this later. Good luck with your essay.
