Hackathon Problems

Problem Categories

Problem Statement 1

An increasing number of Pakistanis are traveling internationally for leisure and business with some major destinations being the UAE, KSA, and Turkey. The challenge is to build an experience that caters to problems that may include places to visit and halal food spots amongst a few problems that are being faced by Pakistanis in engaging in international travel to such destinations.

Problem Statement 2

Travel is a multilingual affair. OTAs around the world operate predominantly in english and major airlines mostly cater to their local language. People with low english proficiency often go to agents or other people to book for them similar to when people used to go to internet cafes and have their emails written and delivered through the cafe operators. Your challenge is to design and deploy solutions that can assist multilingual travelers in making travel booking easy.

Problem Statement 3

Jet lag is a major problem for transcontinental travelers. Figure out a way to measure jet lag and consequently address it.

Problem Statement 4

More than ever before Pakistanis are taking to the skies above to fulfill their travel needs. Figure out a solution that helps notify air travelers of delays and cancellations.

Problem Statement 5

Pakistanis have been traveling via bus since the inception of the country. However there is an extreme lack of information on their travel habits, infrastructure and more. Your challenge is to map the bus landscape of Pakistan and identify opportunities to solve problems for bus travelers.

Problem Statement 6

Pakistan is a land of sky high mountains and untouched beaches. However, tourists coming to the country have scant information about the weather, hotels, news, festivals etc. Your challenge is to design and deploy a solution that helps filter the relevant information for such tourists.

Problem Statement 7

Pakistanis are the 2nd largest nationality that engages in religious travel for umrah, hajj, and ziarat. Your challenge is to streamline Pakistanis in budgeting, planning and traveling to their selected religious travel destinations.

Problem Statement 8

Unfortunately, a limited number of visa-free destinations are available for Pakistanis. Pakistanis are also unaware of these and other destinations where they can get visa on arrivals (with their passport or existing valid visas on their passports). Your challenge is to help Pakistanis discover such destinations and help them to attain these visas in as frictionless a way as possible.
