Experience Mechanics

Interactive Destination Discovery: Large-scale Philippine archipelago map allows visitors to explore by touching islands of interest. Visual indicators show ferry routes, popular destinations, and transportation hubs. Zoom functionality reveals detailed island information, local attractions, and cultural highlights unique to each region.
Transportation Mode Comparison: After selecting origin and destination, visitors compare authentic transport options - from budget-friendly bangka boats to luxury ferries. Each option displays realistic travel times, and onboard experiences through video content and traveler testimonials.

Content Architecture

Geographic Organization: Content structured around major island groups (Luzon, Visayas, Mindanao) with detailed coverage of popular tourism routes like Manila-Bataan, Cebu-Bohol, and Davao-Samal. Each region features unique transportation traditions and cultural elements.
Vessel Type Categories:
Traditional Bangka: Cultural heritage, local island connections, authentic experiences
the “last mile travel” of the sea
Ferry Systems: Inter-island travel, comfort levels, schedules and reliability
Include Ro-Ro as a subset of the ferry system
Adventure Craft: Jetski tours (suggest removing jet ski from the brief, disturbs marine life also not a serious form of transport? It was in the Gallagher Inc doc), speedboats, specialized tourism operators
Local Experience: Testimonials from boat operators, island families, tourism guides

Interactive Interface Design

Exploration Phase: Google Maps-style interface showcasing the full Philippine archipelago with smooth zoom, pan, and island selection. Ferry routes animate to show connectivity, while popular destinations pulse to indicate tourism activity and cultural significance.

Video & Images of Destinations: High-quality video content featuring actual destinations, local culture, and transportation experiences. Interview-style testimonials provide authentic insights into island life, local traditions, and maritime travel adventures across different regions of the Philippines.

Technical Implementation

Single-Station Design: 43" touchscreen with integrated audio delivers complete experience for individual exploration. Intuitive interface accommodates visitors of all ages and technical comfort levels.
Language Integration: Seamless switching between English, Tagalog throughout entire experience. Text, audio, and video content culturally adapted for each language community rather than direct translation.

Content Development Priorities

Authentic Testimonials: Partner with Department of Tourism, local tourism boards, and maritime transport operators to capture genuine traveler experiences and cultural insights from across the archipelago.
Cultural Accuracy: Ensure representation of diverse Filipino maritime traditions, from Mindanao's colorful vintas to Luzon's traditional bancas, with proper cultural context and respectful presentation of island communities.
