Research, ideas and thoughts about people traveling. The destinations, the tools, the reasons , the results. We already had the Ad!dict Inspiration Book on 'Voyage', but we'd like to elaborate more and come up with innovative concepts. The earlier project 'Business Travel Lab' will be incorporated here.

Officials in the French capital have announced the launch of a startup incubator focused on “urban tourism”, named Welcome City Lab.
The incubator will be located in a renovated area of 1,000 square metres near Saint Germain. The plan is to host 40 startups and open meeting space to organize conferences, demos and meetups.
This will be the tenth incubator in the City of Paris, which is busily refurbishing public buildings to create affordable office space and support networks to help entrepreneurs get started.
The first founding partners are Aéroport de Paris and Sodexo Prestige (Lido, Eiffel Tower restaurants). The founding partners will have access to startups in order to monitor and pilot innovations, while other funding members will be announced before its official opening.
French funding scheme Oseo helps startups with funds and loans from Euro 30,000 to Euro 100,000.
The model features low rental fees and free or subsidized access to general services (lawyers, accountants and sector experts), but the incubator will not take equity in the hosted startups.
Numerous technical services created outside of the industry can make great applications in the travel sector, but often the two worlds do not collide.
With millions of global visitors, hotels, airports and some of the world’s best attractions, Paris is arguably an ideal playground to pilot and measure results for any travel startup.
Meanwhile, as part of the programme, talks are also ongoing with the city of San Francisco in order to help US startups expanding to Europe, and vice versa.
NB: Applications will be open through the month of April on the City of Paris website.
@Phico: is that what you mean with sharing travel experiences with friends online, creating one big platform of ideas and inspiration: http://www.ajungo.com/?
When returning home from a travel, it's just the end of a physical journey. The inspiration, cultural influence, memories, and stories are an even more important part that stay with you long after the travel has ended. What tools can we offer where travelers can connect the things they experienced and learned in order to show how much inspiration they got from their travels? One mindmap with travel inspiration in words, pictures and videos. How does that inspiration help me in my daily life?
