Trave/Scrum is organizing its first global ideation hackathon to bring the Travel and Tourism community the platform it needs to come together and build solutions to the global crisis. With 10% of the world’s GDP, 330 million jobs at stake and one-third of the jobs lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic (according to WTTC), the Travel and Tourism industry is at a turning point and needs immediate action.
This global ideation hackathon will be held online from June 11th to June 14th. It is aimed at providing a platform for talented people to showcase their ideas to improve the world of travel of tomorrow and be recognized in the process.
Speaking about this initiative, Gene Quinn, co-founder of Trave/Scrum said: “We expect participants to deliver innovative, implementable and impactful projects for the industry, spread across three challenges: Health and Hygiene, Travel & Experiences and Sustainability & Relief. We have a list of accomplished industry experts who have signed up as mentors and judges”.
