What if you could transform your travel experiences while empowering local artisans? Join us for an engaging conversation with Rana Saad, the visionary founder and CEO of Tuzmo, recorded live at Forbes Travel Guide’s ‘The Summit’ in Las Vegas. Rana takes us through Tuzmo’s journey from its launch just before the pandemic to its current standing as a platform that connects travelers with local artisans for authentic cultural experiences. You'll gain insights into the massive $650 billion handicraft market, poised to grow to $1.3 trillion, and learn how Tuzmo is ensuring that more revenue reaches the artisans themselves. Rana's extensive background in travel and digital innovation at Accenture has helped fuel Tuzmo’s mission to create meaningful and fair travel experiences.
We also dive into Tuzmo’s innovative features, including upcoming VR and AI-driven smart matching, designed to enhance how users interact with local crafts. Hear about their strategic partnerships with luxury hotels to provide unique, localized experiences, that was highlighted during their participation in the "Emporium of the Future Discover”. Learn about the importance of avoiding tourist traps and instead foster genuine connections with local communities. Have a look at Tuzmo's active market hotspots in Turkey, Morocco, Egypt, Kenya, and South Africa for example. This episode underscores the universal need for increased visibility for artisans and how Tuzmo is pioneering economic and cultural benefits worldwide. We hope you enjoy this discussion.
