AI-Powered Smart Tourist Safety System with Geo-Fencing and Blockchain Identity

Tourist safety has become a pressing concern as incidents involving accidents, delayed emergency response, and identity verification challenges continue to rise. This paper proposes GuardianGo—a Smart Tourist Safety Monitoring and Incident Response System integrating Artificial Intelligence (AI), geo-fencing, and blockchain-based Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). The system provides multi-channel emergency alerts, AI-driven incident prioritization, and verifiable digital identity sharing through secure credentials. It also includes offline safety mechanisms, real-time geofencing alerts, and a multilingual assistance framework to ensure rapid response even in low-connectivity environments. Through feasibility assessment and architectural evaluation, this paper demonstrates how integrated safety technologies can enhance trust, transparency, and responsiveness in the tourism ecosystem.
