Problem

With the goal of attracting 30 million foreign tourists, regional tourist spots, accommodations, and restaurants want to boost marketing, but they cannot access real-time data on which nationalities are arriving when and where. Korea Tourism Organization statistics are delayed by 2-3 months, and Small Business Owners lack the capability to analyze data themselves, causing them to miss optimal marketing timing.

Solution

Aggregates flight booking trends (Skyscanner/Google Flights crawling), social media hashtag trends (Instagram/Xiaohongshu), and Naver/Google Maps tourist attraction search volumes to calculate a weekly 'Nationality × Region Inbound Demand Index.' Provides foreign visitor inflow predictions within a 5km radius of your business and marketing timing alerts.

Target: Accommodation, restaurant, and experience business owners in tourist zones and regional destinations (annual revenue $75K-$750K), local government tourism department officers
Revenue Model: SaaS Monthly Subscription: $29/mo (1 region, weekly Report), Pro $67/mo (nationwide + daily Report + alerts).
Ecosystem Role: Consumer
MVP Estimate: 2_weeks
