Introduction to SNPIT
Beginning in Autumn 2026, GALLUSYS, a subsidiary of Gig Works Co., will launch a new travel and photo project called "Tabi Share" in collaboration with the renowned travel agency, HIS. This initiative, rooted in the concept of "One more reason to travel," aims to create a new cycle of travel experiences through photo sharing.
What is "Tabi Share"?
The "Tabi Share" project invites users to engage actively by uncovering and sharing the unique attractions of more than 10,000 hotels and tourist destinations across Japan, based solely on the photos they capture during their travels. Users will navigate to various locations marked on a map, using a dedicated app camera to ensure that every photo is recorded in a tamper-proof manner. Through this, only pictures taken by individuals who actually visit these sites will be added to the map.
Additionally, users will participate in a "Location Battle," where those who succeed will become ambassadors for the visited locations. Points accumulated through these battles can be redeemed for travel coupons and digital items for future trips, transforming the user experience into a competitive yet enjoyable game.
The tagline for this initiative emphasizes connecting real experiences with expectations for future travelers through the lens of a single photo, crafting a collaboratively created "new map of Japan" through gamification.
Three Key Features of "Tabi Share"
1. Authentic Records from Visitor-Captured Images
Only photographs taken with the app’s camera around designated facilities can be posted, ensuring a true representation of visitors' experiences. Utilizing blockchain technology, the app guarantees that records of "who, where, and when" are irreproachable, ensuring the authenticity of the shared images. This means the map will feature genuine discoveries rather than stock images, highlighting real attractions identified by users.
2. Competitive Location Battles
Users can participate in location battles by taking unique photographs within a 500-meter radius of specific pins on the map. Winning these battles will elevate users to the status of ambassadors for those facilities, allowing their images to represent those locations on the map. At launch, all 10,000 facilities will present a blank canvas with no images, allowing keen travelers to become the first ambassadors for those untouched places. This early access enhances the allure of the project, as users race to capture and share their adventures.
3. The Advent of New Companion Characters: "MOB’z"
Introducing MOB’z, small creatures that accompany users on their journeys and help carry film or guard special locations. Each MOB’z will remain in a user's favorite spots, serving as guardians of those cherished experiences. For newcomers to "Tabi Share," one MOB’z will be distributed for free, enabling instant participation in the project without any fees. Details on these characters will be revealed as development progresses.
Four Values Generated by the Project
1.
Exploring New Destinations: The desire to capture unique photos or visit untouched places will motivate users to explore beyond popular tourist sites, discovering hidden gems along the way.
2.
Incentives through Photography: Actively participating in photo-taking and location battles will gamify the travel experience, allowing users to earn points redeemable for travel benefits. This encourages not just photo taking but also a cycle of future trips made more rewarding.
3.
Personalized Achievements: Success in location battles confers special recognition that influences the travel choices of others, making the user's accomplishment a valuable badge of honor in a competitive community.
4.
Revitalizing Local Attractions: By showcasing the natural ambiance and seasonal character of local destinations through user-generated photos, the initiative can effectively draw more tourists and awaken communities' latent potential.
Future Expansion
As the launch in Autumn 2026 approaches, GALLUSYS is committed to enhancing the functionality of the app. This will include basic features like photo posting and user voting, as well as regional tours and seasonal contests. Collaborations with local governments and accommodation facilities will foster a multi-faceted approach to community revitalization based on photography.
SNPIT plans to revolutionize how users experience travel by integrating a game-like framework with real-world exploration. This unique combination of technology and community engagement is set to redefine the landscape of travel and photography for users.
