Project Summary

WALGO word consists of two sections "WAL" and "GO." "WAL" is an abbreviation created by me as "WALK AND LEARN," indicating the relation of a tour guide and tourist. "GO" in the end is just for embracing the excitement of going to visit your dream destination and the excitement of getting an opportunity to teach and share what you love about your soil and culture. 

WALGO is a global platform for anyone in the world to join. At the time of writing this document, some personal portfolio websites of tour guides are the main source for hiring a guide for yourself. But there is not a single platform that provides this opportunity.

WALGO is a platform that provides the native/local people of any tourist-loving spot to teach the visitors about the values and norms of their culture and the historical significance of their land. This website is a platform where people with sound knowledge about their culture, society, and historical importance can earn a living by offering their time and knowledge to tourists.  

It provides an intermediate connecting layer between two persons. One is a person whose profile may contain memories of his previous tours in different countries and locations, and he is using his account to find a tour guide for his next dream destination around the world. At the same time, the other person may have a profile show-casing his memorable experiences with the visitors and wanted a hiring hand by displaying it. 

It can act as a social media for those who want to show off their achievements and adventures as a tourist in the world. In Contrast, this website also acts as a freelance platform for those offering their time and services. And earn money in return for their services as a guide to tourists. 

As a freelance guide, you can work in just about any field you feel comfortable with. You do not need a specific designation like a water guide, land guide, step-on guide, or sightseeing guide. If you have experience in a field and know how to do it, you can do it as a freelance guide. And it provides you with the opportunity to do that with great ease. 

Project Objectives

The WALGO will provide the following features to its aspirants:  

To create a profile as a tourist (to post and get reviews and suggestions about their travels and find the perfect local/native guide) 

To create a profile as a tour guide (to provide their time to travel foreigners around his hometown/city and advertise his experiences with foreigners) 

Tour Guides can advertise their local tourist attractions and famous foods by posting, and others can like, comment, and share their experiences about the location or food if they have visited the place or tried the food. 

Travelers can post their experiences at a certain location with a certain guide (if any). Others can also like, comment, and recommend tour guides available on the platform. 

There will be a basic communication system in the form of a personal chat box for every user to communicate privately
