Press Release: At the beginning of the holidays, after half a year of hard work, the Loxper platform was launched. It is a guide with fun routes to interesting places, which is connected by the fact that it tells a complete story of a historical figure or event, or connects interesting places. Our goal is to show locals and visitors unique places that usually remain hidden from their attention.
The whole experience is simplified by the fact that we have created apps for iOS or Android. In the app, you simply choose the route you are interested in and Loxper will show you where to go and tell you where the first point is. At each point you will learn some local interest and part of the story, each point also contains a task that should entertain you and make the walk more varied. After completing the task (or skipping it), the application will tell you the next point to continue to. And so on until the end of the route, which is usually around 5 km and you can spend 2 hours of pleasant entertainment on it. They are created by people (guides) who know the places and who will also recommend your favorite establishments – cafes, pubs or other interesting places.
At the beginning, there are 15 online routes in Prague and Brno in the application. At the same time, we are looking for content creators all over the Czech Republic who like the place where they live and would like to tell an interesting story about it through our platform. That's why we invite everyone who has the desire, ideas and interest to earn some extra money to contact us. The guide gets a share of the revenue of the individual routes. The main goal is to get people into the streets, to motivate them to move and also to think a little. And also to show that there are many interesting places outside the main and crowded tourist attractions.
3 goals for the future of Loxper
But this is only the beginning, in the next phase we would like to supplement the content in the form of audio, video and augmented reality. The goal is to reconstruct historical events and personalities as much as possible and bring them closer to all people, in short, to revive history with the help of technology.
Another big goal is to supplement the content of the application so that it offers entertainment and learning even outside the routes in the form of games and quizzes and to connect the game world with the real world.
And finally, the third big goal is to expand the Loxper platform to other European and world capitals and tourist destinations so that tourists get the same experience on all possible destinations of their trips and expeditions.
Business model
The routes are unlocked by purchasing a ticket worth one coffee. Each ticket is for one passage of an individual or group route and is incomparably cheaper than a live guide. To begin with, every new user gets one free ticket to try one entire route of their choice. In the next phase, we will also bring a convenient annual subscription to all routes around the world.
About us
Loxper is created in Brno, Prague and Děčín, it is made up of a group of friends who, thanks to their passion for trips, history and technology, work together to connect it all into a functional whole. The name Loxper was created by combining the words Local Experience, which is our goal that we want to offer to users. The whole project is created on a community basis, 13 people participated in it at the start, from programmers to route creators to language proofreaders. We also plan to add more language mutations in the future.
