Road Trip and Scenic Drive Planning Platform: Curating Classic American Routes

The American road trip is iconic. Travelers want to discover scenic routes, roadside attractions, and hidden gems, but planning requires piecing together information from many sources. There is an opportunity to build the definitive platform for American road trip planning with curated routes and community-driven stops.

The Problem: Road Trip Planning Is Scattered

Road trippers face challenges:

• No comprehensive database of scenic routes and drives

• Difficulty finding worthwhile roadside stops

• Itinerary planning across multiple tools

• Limited local knowledge and hidden gem discovery

General travel apps do not cater to the unique needs of road trip planning.

Why This Market Is Strong

• Road trips are a quintessential American travel style
