Tour de Suisse Part II
Dear users, fans and supporters of GetYourGuide,
while our competition Tour de Suisse is still not even half finished, we have seen many new people coming to our site and sharing tours. Although this might sound not very spectacular to you, it is certainly special to us, as it means that the framework that we have been created during many hours of hard work withing the past couple of months is used in a creative manner. We believe that there is no better thing for creative people than to step aside the project you are working on for a brief second and see how others engage with it.
The hypothesis that underlies GetYourGuide is that there is a vast potential in tourism that is unrealised due to tideous constraints and fragmentations that have been dominating the business for many years. Seeing how you create interesting contributions to travel and international connectivity pushes me to think that we can turn around this single sided state of things. We believe that we can make a difference and help people travel in a richer way than they did before, seeing things on their travels from different perspectives.
Tour de Suisse is a competition that seeks people to design and submit creative tours in Switzerland. After the first couple of weeks, we have already seen several that I would immediatly judge to qualify for these criterions. However, let this be only a beginning of what we are able to accomplish. With your help, we all will be able to grow this website and achieve something very unique. But most importantly – to have fun doing so!
Best,
The GetYourGuide Team
