Digital Tourist Guide
Whatever visitors may need, they can find it in the Digital Tourist Guide. The software operates through an independent web-based platform with its own Content Management System (CMS), providing flexibility and full control so that the owner can easily manage and update the guide’s content. In addition to being available through an Info Kiosk, the application can also be accessed through the web browser of smartphones and tablets.
The Digital Tourist Guide includes categories such as general information about the city and its history, attractions, beaches, religious tourism, restaurants, transportation, shopping, ski resorts, entertainment, activities, exhibitions and events, rentals, useful telephone numbers, local products, weather, time zones, currency exchange rates and accommodation. The guide supports 33 available languages, from which you can select up to 10.
An additional category can be dedicated to the hotel itself, presenting its facilities and services while also allowing guests to evaluate their experience through a dynamic Digital Survey.
Search filters within each category allow users to find the information that interests them with just one click. Results can be sorted according to various criteria, such as distance from the user’s current location, direction and more. Results can also be displayed on a map, together with directions to each destination.

It offers three different ways to provide premium visibility to selected listings that you wish to promote more prominently, such as a partner business or one of your own services.
Interactive homepage banner: An interactive banner can be displayed on the homepage of the Digital Tourist Guide. With a single touch, users are taken directly to the profile of the advertised business.
Interactive category banner: A promotional banner can also appear within the relevant category. For example, a restaurant can be promoted directly within the Restaurants section. It works in the same way as the homepage banner, allowing users to access the promoted listing with a single touch.
Featured listing placement: Selected businesses can be positioned at the top of the standard results list for increased visibility.
