Technological advancements continually reshape how people live, work, and play, but now, Huvr wants to do more. This pioneering platform in virtual travel is leveraging the power of technology and the gig economy to tackle the pervasive issue of global poverty.
“Huvr’s personalized virtual tours are facilitated by gig workers from across the globe,” notes Herman DeBoard, Huvr’s CEO. “Our platform brings unique local experiences directly to screens everywhere, but we have a vision to do so much more. We believe that we can reduce global poverty and make a tangible impact on impoverished communities worldwide.”
