Accepted Answer

Initially designed an app for museums. After first discussion I was asked to broaden my scope.

Picked key stakeholder as the Government of India. Challenge was the rise of international tourism by Indians. Goal was to increase domestic tourism and increase tax revenue through tourism expenditures.

Designed a content suggestions app allowing users to explore various destination and bookmark places. The app was also a social network with had gamification elements: Users received points for every destination they visited. Visiting certain type of destinations also unlocked Badges (E.g.: “Mughal history buff”, “Tea lover”, etc.). You could see the activity and badges of your friends. Also designed a travel card that gave people discounts on museum, tourist attraction tickets as well as discounts on select restaurants in tourist areas.
