There are numerous researches regarding tourists’ behaviors and their preferences and Nfinite IT Solutions has based its very own HOHO project design and operations of service on these literatures with actual experiences from operators and tourists alike.

For years, the importance of tourism in promoting the country’s social and economic prosperity has been in the forefront of many administrations. With the pandemic greatly impacting the tourism industry, the Department of Tourism (DOT) is forecasting the recovery of the country’s domestic travel sector by 2022 at the earliest and by 2024 at the latest. The imposition of mobility restrictions also contributed to the drop in domestic tourism. In terms of share per tourism industry, transport services accounted for the bulk of the GVATI in 2020 at 39.1 percent (P359.3 billion), followed by entertainment and recreation services at 15.9 percent (P146.3 billion).

The creation of HoHo project powered by PowerCard offers reprieve to the slowly recovering economy. The technology integrated in HoHo buses help track mobility and ease travelers’ concerns with health and security amidst pandemic. The cashless system reduces human interaction and the telematics devices installed in the vehicles record data that can be converted into useful information such as destination management. In order to promote a safe, fun and competitive tourism, it is vital to have a good transportation system. With this proposed project, tourists have the option of enjoying the city in the comfort of the tour bus with scheduled activities or they can set their own itinerary and explore the place without worrying about transportation.

OUR VISION

Nfinite’s well-designed tour bus service would be able to encourage a modal shift from the private car which can also help in the increasing congestion on highways and main roads. This change will reduce the carbon emission generated by the transportation industry. And considering the HoHo Project will only utilize modern buses and jeepneys, this can motivate operators to upgrade their fleet for extra income which then aids in the government’s PUV modernization project. If the HoHo project is implemented properly, it will trigger a domino effect that will have tremendous influence not only in the growth of tourism but in the country’s economy itself.
