Jabama: Where Travel Sparks Creativity

Born in the heart of Iran’s landscapes—from the misty forests of Gilan to the sun-scorched deserts of Yazd—Jabama isn’t just a booking platform. It’s a storyteller, a cultural bridge, and a proud player in the ecosystem of Iran’s Creative Industries.

Vision: Travel, Reimagined

Jabama envisions a world where travel is effortless, meaningful, and deeply connected to local culture. It’s not about booking a bed—it’s about unlocking a story.

 

“We don’t sell rooms. We offer memories.”

Innovation: When Code Meets Culture

  • Online booking for unique stays: From adobe eco-lodges to traditional village homes

  • Smart filters: Helping users find the perfect stay based on budget, vibe, and location

  • Mobile-first experience: A sleek app that feels like a digital backpack

  • Real reviews, real trust: Building bridges between hosts and guests

Jabama transforms traditional tourism into a digital experience—an example of Tech-Driven Creativity in Iran’s innovation landscape.

Cultural Impact: Stories That Travel

  • Empowering local hosts: Preserving architecture, cuisine, and lifestyle

  • Narrative-driven campaigns: Like “Travel Tales,” where guests share their journeys

  • Reviving hidden gems: Promoting lesser-known destinations like Alamut or Maranjab

  • Sustainable income: Each active listing supports multiple local families

Jabama is more than a platform—it’s a cultural movement. It connects urban explorers with rural storytellers, blending technology with tradition.

Revenue Model: Experience as Currency

    • Commission-based bookings

    • Promotional partnerships with hosts and brands

    • Add-on services: Travel insurance, local tours, seasonal discounts

    • Collaborative growth: Fair revenue sharing with hosts

     

    This model fuels not just Jabama’s growth, but the prosperity of thousands of local entrepreneurs—a shining example of Participatory Creative Economy.

Role in Iran’s Creative Industries

Jabama sits at the intersection of three creative domains:

  • Cultural Tourism

  • Digital Innovation

  • Storytelling & Media

It proves that creativity isn’t limited to art galleries or music studios—it thrives in UX design, business models, and the way we tell stories through travel.

“Jabama is where creativity checks in—and never wants to check out.”
