Executive Overview
VIAT was developed as a digital tourism and membership ecosystem designed to connect regional travel destinations, hospitality providers, F&B merchants, and travelers through one unified digital platform.
Rather than remaining a conceptual prototype or UI exercise, VIAT was engineered into a functional digital platform, publicly launched, utilized by real community members, and formally connected with regional tourism stakeholders across Banyumas.
The Challenge & Core Proposition
Tourism is supported by numerous interdependent sectors—from recreational destinations and hotels to culinary spots, local merchants, events, and authentic cultural experiences. In regional markets, however, these services routinely operate in silos with fragmented discovery, disjointed promotion, and absent loyalty incentives.
VIAT explored how a single integrated platform could bridge these participants while providing users with an engaging way to explore regional gems and unlock localized membership perks.

Business Development
Initiated stakeholder communications and built operational bridges across tourism destinations, merchant networks, and regional bodies.
Launch & Public Execution

Building with the Regional Tourism Ecosystem
VIAT was conceived not merely as an isolated consumer app, but as an ecosystem layer connecting travelers directly with the operators and institutions anchoring regional tourism.
Public coverage and partnership explorations engaged key local destination authorities and tourism operators in Banyumas, including:
- BLUD UPT Lokawisata Baturraden: Exploration of digital ticketing and tourist information integration.
- PT Palawi Risorsis: Discussions on nature tourism connectivity and outdoor destination engagement.
- Hospitality & Culinary Merchants: Engaging local hotels, restaurants, and cafes to participate in early membership voucher trials.
