4. AR Experiences – Enhance exploration with AR facts, interactions with characters, and unique selfie spots.

5. Referral & Sharing Mechanism – Reward-based sharing (e.g., free rides, souvenirs) to drive virality.

Prioritization (RICE Framework):

• #2 (Navigation): Table stakes; essential for usability.

• #4 (AR Integration): Differentiating and delighting feature; boosts virality.

• #5 (Referral): Drives organic growth.

• #1 (Itinerary): Deprioritized to V2 based on initial user data.
