Zendayo Adventure Company will be an online platform connecting British Columbia tour providers with adventure seekers. Tour Operators, Adventure Providers, and Local Outfitters will be able to create as many listings as they want for free with Zendayo, and customers will be able to book these adventures online. But you don't necessarily have to be a professional tour company to create listings. The founders of Zendayo want to empower experienced locals to become independent entrepreneurs by sharing their local knowledge and experience in exchange for money.

"We want to answer the question 'What to do?' like Airbnb answers the question 'Where to stay?' This means that we invite everyone to share adventure through Zendayo, not just big tour companies" says co-founder, Amber. "There are so many people in BC doing amazing things that other people would be more than happy to experience."

Some examples of adventures that Zendayo will have on their website:

- Kayaking with killer whales
- A local's tour of Big White Ski Resort
- Stand up paddle boarding in the ocean
- Surf lessons in Tofino
- Hike to waterfalls with natural swimming pools
- Tour of Stanley Park
- Glacier sightseeing experience by float plane

Zendayo Adventure Company is an early stage startup and their first step is gauging interest from tour operators and experienced locals.

"We are building an email list of tour companies and locals who would be interested in listing on our website, so that we can be confident moving forward with developing such a complex system. We also want to get feedback from these people so that we can build the best possible platform for both them and their customers."

Zendayo's online platform will feature an easy-to-use online booking system, which will be a great solution for tour operators who don't want to pay for expensive web development on their own websites. They will also drive traffic to their listings through paid search, and plan on having a comprehensive blog focusing on adventure tourism in British Columbia to drive organic traffic to the website.

If you are a tour operator, experienced local, or an adventure seeker, be sure to sign up on their website to stay up to date and to show your support for this local startup.
