Hard Rock International, Stonecrest Investment Management, The Interfin Companies, and Misla Hospitality Group are investing $850 million in Puerto Rico's first Hard Rock Hotel & Casino — adjacent to Old San Juan. This technology platform connects that development with the community, merchants, and visitors of the historic district.
Corporation for the Business and Cultural Development of the Islet of San Juan. 40 years providing free transportation, tours, and community services. Operates the fleet of trolleys and transport vehicles.
Old San Juan Merchants Association. Brings together the commercial sectors of the historic district for economic and community well-being. Monetizes promotions within the platform.
Global hospitality and entertainment brand. Their $850M investment includes ~415 rooms, 186 branded residences, integrated casino, spa, restaurants, and event venues.
The platform consists of three interfaces connected in real time: a public-facing app (for tourists, residents, and visitors), a driver app, and an administrative web panel for the CODEVISA team. All data flows into an analytics and AI engine that optimizes routes, recommends businesses, and continuously improves the experience.
An Uber-style experience designed for Old San Juan's free transportation service. Users identify stops, see vehicles in real time, and plan their entire day with artificial intelligence.
A real-time tool for service drivers. They receive demand notifications per stop, optimize their routes, and automatically log every trip.
Command and control center for the administrative team. Complete fleet, driver, route, analytics, and operational reporting management in a single web panel.
The visitor completes a brief interest form — food, culture, history, shopping, adventure, beach — and the AI builds a complete itinerary for their day in Old San Juan.
The plan includes where to have breakfast, historical points of interest, stops for coffee or ice cream, restaurants for lunch and dinner — all connected through CODEVISA's trolley routes. The user sees exactly which trolley to take, which stop to board at, and how long it will take to arrive.
ACOVI member businesses that pay for their promotion appear highlighted and prioritized in these itineraries — driving real foot traffic to their businesses.
The visitor selects their preferences: gastronomy, history, art, shopping, beach, adventure, nightlife.
Artificial intelligence combines preferences, schedules, location, and ACOVI businesses to create an optimal plan.
Each point in the itinerary is connected to a trolley route. The plan shows which stop to use, which route to take, and the ETA.
Directly from the plan, users can book restaurants, purchase tours, or confirm activities.
Businesses that sponsor through ACOVI appear prioritized with badges, special promotions, and premium positioning.
Users rate each experience. The AI learns and continuously improves future recommendations.
Hard Rock funds the development. CODEVISA operates and expands the transportation service. ACOVI generates sustainable revenue through the featured business and promotions system within the platform.
