WAYFAR: A Light Weight, Compact and Mobile Travelling Pod

Abstract

The project Wayfar is designed to provide a light weight, compact and mobile travelling pod for craggy, inflexible areas. Pakistan's tourism industry is constantly evolving, and contributing greatly towards the country's GDP. The number of domestic as well as foreign tourists is increasing every year. The Pakistan Tourism and Development Corporation are working for the installation of travelling pods in the top tourist destinations, but those designs do not allow mobility. For backpackers and explorers, voyaging to explore every inch is the goal. Sometimes during their expeditions, they find themselves in places they want to settle for some time, but there is no provision of accommodation there. The designed solution would give that freedom to travelers to explore to the fullest, without having to worry about a place to stay. The proposed solution is light weight, carried in a backpack, can be set up anywhere, and packed up anytime. This solution saves the hassle of finding a nearby place for accommodation, and a tourist's expense to a great deal, still contributing to the circular economy. It is to be returned at the end of the trip to the tourism offices who will then give these to other travelers requiring them.
