Private Tour Grouping Workflow for Shared Booking Thresholds
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing tourism services lack the ability to efficiently organize private tours and activities for groups of people who do not know each other, resulting in high costs and limited personalization, with tour operators focusing on mass-market tours that do not cater to individual preferences.
Innovation Solution
A computer-implemented process that organizes groups of customers for private tours or activities by receiving requests, identifying entities to notify, determining participation thresholds, and automatically scheduling tours or activities, with refund processes if minimum participation is not met, using machine learning and communication networks to facilitate group formation and booking.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Adaptability or versatility
If private tours or activities are offered to groups of people who do not know each other, then market reach and profit potential increase, but organization efficiency and cost reduction are insufficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system enables self-service through automated entity identification, notification routing, and participation tracking. The computer-implemented process automatically identifies which entities to notify next, determines optimal timers, and manages the entire organization workflow without requiring manual intervention, thus improving productivity while maintaining market reach
Solution Approach 2:
The patent replaces manual mechanical organization processes with an automated computer-implemented system. The system uses algorithms to determine notification sequences, manage timers, and coordinate entities, substituting human-driven mechanical organization with automated computational processes that improve efficiency and reduce costs
2Productivity
If automated entity identification and notification systems are implemented, then organization efficiency improves, but system complexity increases
Solution Approach 1:
The system segments the organization process into distinct automated stages: entity identification, notification routing, timer management, and participation tracking. Each segment handles a specific function, reducing overall system complexity by breaking down the complex organization task into manageable, automated components that work together systematically
3Quantity of substance
If participation thresholds are enforced to ensure minimum group size, then cost per person decreases, but tour scheduling flexibility is reduced
Solution Approach 1:
The system dynamically adjusts notification sequences and timer durations based on real-time participation levels. As more entities join, the system adapts the organization workflow, extending or modifying notification rounds to maintain scheduling flexibility while ensuring participation thresholds are met for cost reduction

AI summary
The present application describes a Process for Auto Organizing Private Tourism Tours and Activities for two or more groups of people, that do not necessarily know themselves, but are willing to join together receiving benefits (either tangible and/or intangible) from it. It also makes part of this process the organization of resellers, resellers establishments, resellers staff and their customers (generically called Entities) in a way that they contribute for the successful Auto Organizing of the same Private Tours and Activities also receiving benefits from it.
