THE PROBLEM

Gaps in Personalized Travel Planning

Traveling to another country can be daunting, overwhelming, and stressful. Travel concierge services aren't a foreign concept, but more often than not, these services can feel detached and purely transactional.

Our client, an international student living and studying in Korea, experienced this firsthand. She and other student guides built a successful business on Xiaohongshu (RedNote), helping travelers plan personalized trips and navigate Korea locally. As demand grew, however, managing the end-to-end experience through XHS became increasingly difficult. She turned to FocusKPI to create a more localized platform that could streamline and automate the process while preserving the personal connection that made her service valuable.

Case study currently in the works! Contact me if you are curious about the details :)
