tourism is broken.
73% of visitors in major cities never leave the main tourist corridor. local neighborhoods that want visitors get none. overcrowded landmarks get worse every year.
cities are desperate for solutions — imposing entry fees, running "don't visit" campaigns, raising tourist taxes. we think there's a better way.
better experiences for everyone.
driftd uses AI to redistribute tourist foot traffic from overcrowded landmarks to undervisited neighborhoods.
tourists get a better experience. local businesses get customers. cities get relief. everyone wins.
built by someone who got lost on purpose.
built by dawid — a yale student studying cognitive science and economics, with experience in investment banking and public policy.
driftd combines a background in decision science with a belief that cities are best experienced without a plan.
infrastructure for the age of AI tourism.
we're starting with three cities. but driftd isn't just a travel app — it's infrastructure for how cities manage tourism in the age of AI.
we're building the demand-shaping layer between tourists and the places they visit. starting small. thinking big.
