Travelers Can't Find Trusted Guides – So I Built a Solution 🚀

Hi everyone! 👋

I'm Israr, founder of VoyageX – a tourism marketplace that connects travelers with verified local guides and tour operators in Pakistan.

The Problem:

Travelers struggle to find authentic local experiences. They don't know which guides are genuine or trustworthy. Meanwhile, local guides have no platform to reach customers. Big travel sites ignore small operators, charge high fees, and offer generic tours.

Our Solution:

VoyageX is a simple, trusted platform where travelers can discover real local experiences – like hiking in Hunza, exploring Swat, or cultural tours in Lahore. Local guides can list their tours, get reviews, and earn income directly.

What we've built so far:

· Frontend in Next.js

· Backend in NestJS with PostgreSQL

· Using AI tools to speed up development

· Currently building MVP for beta launch

Why I'm posting here:

I'm looking for:

· Feedback on the idea and business model

· Mentors who can guide me

· Investors who believe in local tourism and youth-led startups

If you love travel, tech, or supporting young founders – I'd love to connect! Let's build something meaningful together. 🌍
