Marseille, a Phocaean Provençal city bordered by the Mediterranean, will host events of yachting and of soccer in its most emblematic places. With a population from all over the world, the Olympic Games 2024 represent a real opportunity for economic and tourist development, but also a risk concerning the coastal pollution. One of the big challenges is to reduce the impact of the mass tourism during this kind of unmissable event.
By engaging and connecting actors premises (producers, restaurant owners, inhabitants...) as well as the tourists In a circular economy and local in favor of the environment, Unipay is helping to reduce the negative impact of the Olympic Games in Marseille.
Unipay is an application, but above all it is a local currency service that is used across the city of marseilles. It is possible to win money, but also spend by means of eco-responsible actions.
From catering to local shops, including clean mobility (bike, scooter, tram...) Unipay presents itself as a true partner of “green” activities on the territory. This service advises and directs towards more environmentally friendly consumption, thus creating a ecosystem clean and balanced between the actors.
At the territorial level, the service Unipay brings together local partners committed to an eco-responsible approach in order to promote the territory and its key players. The main sectors concerned are mainly:
Unipay was created in order to offer an adapted service during the Olympic Games, allowing users to act responsibly while being rewarded.
But how can we be united through a method of paiement?
As a reward for the actions of users via the service, exclusive discounts are offered in the various partner sectors concerned. Thanks to Unipays acquired during the stay, participants can carry out their transactions without using the euro, directly from the application and enjoy the advantages of the service.
Unipay thus transforms each act of purchase into an opportunity to support the local economy and preserve the environment in the face of the impact of mass tourism.
Unipay offers its services and is therefore making itself known for bookings to go to Marseille during the Olympic period.
The more eco-responsible transport is, the more the gain of unipays evolves.
Although the service allows users to exchange euros for unipays; it is not possible to exchange unipays for euros.
But what to do with the money pot at the end of the stay?
Unipay offers users who wish to return 1 year later, to keep their pot so that it can activate certain advantages with the partners concerned or to donate their unipays to a local association of their choice.
If the user does not comment after a certain period of time, the money pot is donated directly to a selected association.
