TagTagCity is a Belgium-based web platform that aims to create a crowdsourced overview of practically any location one can visit for leisure, entertainment, arts and culture.

The platform is a comprehensive [map-based search engine](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/location-bookmarking) that can be accessed through smartphones and tablets. Once a location is tagged, a physical sticker containing an NFC or QR code gets installed so people can scan and learn more about the place upon visit.

Currently, the tool’s initial focus is Brussels and I am hoping that they grow enough and become a globally used entity and eventually change [the way people travel](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/audio-guide-it) and get around their local areas.

I especially like this idea due to the content it is set up to provide, which are reviews, promotional deals and discounts and historical backgrounds.

## Key Themes

### What Makes This Trend Stand Out

- **Crowdsourced Location Exploration:** Opportunities exist for businesses to create their own crowdsourced maps and explore local areas with greater accuracy.
- **QR and NFC Integration:** Innovation and disruption can be found in the integration of QR and NFC codes in physical locations to provide enhanced digital experiences for visitors.
- **Comprehensive Map Search Engines:** Development opportunities exist for creating comprehensive map-based search engines that can be accessed through smartphones and tablets for areas beyond just leisure, entertainment, arts, and culture.

### Sectors Adopting This

- **Tourism and Travel:** The tourism and travel industry could benefit from crowdsourced location tagging through increased visibility and promotional deals and discounts made possible through the platform.
- **Historical Attractions:** Historical attractions could integrate QR and NFC code stickers to provide visitors with quick and comprehensive contextual information enhancing their experience.
- **Advertising and Promotion:** Businesses could use the platform to advertise and promote their products and services, increasing their visibility and customer base.
