Virtual Tourist Information
A Touch Screen Digital Display is a very adaptable tool in the leisure field especially for Tourist Information. Not only does it give the fundamental points of interest for tourists, but it is engaging and can identify and highlight exact areas of interest and significance. This has advanced a long way since the days of a printed map.
These displays can be found integrated within the windows of the local Tourist Information office juxtaposition of the city, where visitors can find their own way around by just touching the screen or special film using their finger or a stylus supplied. The benefit of this can be to collect more information than by asking the operatives. It is also feasible to have the exact information transfered straight to a cell phone device, to enable the customer to enjoy the sightseeing tour with access to other points of interest along the route.
Marketing companies have also thought of this policy for advertising, for example, a bistro providing a discount during the lunch time service sends out an email or message via blue tooth, tempting the passing shopper to visit their establishment.
The dynamic monitors themselves can provide extra income by hosting a number of commercials in conjunction with the Tourist Information, like hotel vacant rooms, shopping promotions and additional tours (like river punting or a ghost tour).
This variety of communication for the city visitor is as thrilling as it is practical, technology knows no bounds and is certainly a gigantic leap forward, and the only issue is keeping up with the evolving technology!
