Opportunity
What if ghosts had the chance to host their haunted homes, creating a unique tourism experience?
-
The UK is home to some of the most famously haunted castles, cottages, forests, and streets in the world. There are a variety of landmarks with paranormal figures maintaining a permanent residence, however their homes are rudely infiltrated by unannounced tourists. During their delayed time of passing over, these ghouls deserve to be able to take control of their haunts through a platform they can properly host their homes in and finally take control of their eternal dwellings.
RESEARCH
Haunted hospitality is untapped tourism gold, with the power to preserve history and profit.
-
Those who dare to hunt ghosts as an economic development strategy find that tapping into this niche can pay off — haunted attractions, which include commercial haunted houses as well as ghost-themed tours, bring in about $300 million annually. In a 2020 study published in Cornell Hospitality Quarterly, a quartet of researchers found that haunted tourism has allowed attractions like historic house museums “to remain intact” or bring in the money for necessary improvements.
Experience the afterlife as a guest, not a ghost, in a world where the paranormal is your host.
RESULTS
-
This tourism and booking website will offer home stays in historical landmarks guided and hosted by the very ghouls that haunt them.
