Travel information while you travel
Often we associate holidays with a period of relaxation, perhaps in some picturesque holiday resort and as comfortable and inexpensive as possible. In order to secure a both relaxing and comfortable vacation, tourist information is pertinent. Taking that into account, a Spanish company has developed a software information platform, for communication between tourists and local SME tourism related providers. Tourists who are on the road to some remote area or location can now receive local information of the region in question directly on their mobile phones. The present innovation also offers tourism related providers the opportunity to reach their potential customers, trade online and advertise their services. During the trip, tourists can browse information on their mobile as if using the Internet, thus avoiding faulty internet connections or time and place dependencies. This involves a personalised service where tourists can plan, schedule and match their tourist identity and travel profile. In addition, the technology provides users, namely providers, with useful auctioning mechanisms. Such mechanisms allow them to maintain control of their stock, avoid non-sold out situations and regulate supply and demand during high seasonal periods. One of the core advantages of the present e-tourist facility is that it is cost-efficient because it gives tourists the chance to be informed of their desired destinations and saves them time while travelling. The company is inviting interested persons to explore and make use of the new software's main applications/components i.e. session manager, community builder, trader, communicator, administrator. The aim is to transform tourism into a more profitable business and flexible solution for providers and tourists respectively, thus improving the quality of life for European citizens.
