1.
Employment opportunities & wealth creation for the local community:
For these electric tour bike, we are looking to onboard tour guides from the local Stone Town community through an agency (Wakala) model where the tour will earn up to 10% commission on every tour and will also earn extra income from being an independent Wakala for banks like CRDB, NMB, NBC, etc and mobile companies like Zantel, Tigo, Voda, Halotel & Voda. Our vision is to create and share wealth with local communities where we operate and to transfer skills as well as create employment & wealth opportunities for the local communities.
2.
Sustainable tourism
Our Pedicabs tour bikes are fully electric with zero emission thereby helping to reduce carbon footprint. They can operate a total of 20 hours each before needing to be recharged. In addition we do not use generators for back up power but a small portable solar power plant. Our aim is to promote sustainable tourism.
3.
Digitalization of our heritage
We work closely with relevant authorities to ensure that we provide the right heritage information digitally in any desired language to tourists through the use of innovation to complement our tour guides. We will also adopt the use of QR codes to disseminate information to tourists as all our pedicabs come with free WiFi.
4.
Safety & security measures
All our pedicabs are equipped with GPS & cameras and have geo-fencing to ensure that they can only operate within the approved routes which are visible to the operations team at HQ to ensure the safety of our customers, our tour agents as well as our assets. We also have comprehensive insurance for both customers, agents and assets.
