Why would locals join? Most locals tend to prefer stable friendships over a constant rotation of tourists.
How will you avoid it being taken over by men looking for sex? This was a serious problem with Couchsurfing.
What will it offer over existing communities like local subreddits, Couchsurfing Hangouts, Bumble BFF and others?
- codingdave 3y agoI live in a tourist town. Many of the locals do avoid the tourists, but others love engaging with them and would be thrilled to be connected. In particular, the youth enjoy meeting new people to get more variety in their social life. Those who aren't interested won't sign up, and it might not work out... but I certainly wouldn't dismiss the idea outright. OP may as well give it a try and see where it goes.
- nicbou 3y agoI agree that OP should give it a go. After all Couchsurfing worked well until the owners torpedoed it during COVID. These are just the questions that I believe OP should ask before breaking ground on that project.
