Information Accessibility
Digital Applications provide a wealth of information at the user’s fingertips. Preloaded with everything a traveler may need, applications can include points of interest, local events, attractions, services, maps, and more. Information boxes and QR Codes can be featured, loaded with a plethora of information to simplify the user experience, including websites and addresses.
External links allow the user to dive deeper into their interests, access additional resources, and plan their itinerary with ease. Online booking and purchasing is made available with one click, leading to increased traffic and revenue for featured businesses, services, and locations.
Multilingual interfaces make information accessible to travelers from all points of origin, making destinations more attractive and fostering global relationships.
Traveler safety is encouraged by the option to feature emergency support. Details about local emergency services, hospitals, and important safety information can be preloaded, ensuring tourist experience is as safe and comfortable as possible.
User Engagement
Kiosks are strategically placed to capture attention. Set in high traffic locations including airports, travel terminals, government buildings, and other attractions, kiosks are almost guaranteed to be put to use. Graphics are designed with engagement in mind, and draw the user in to a fun, exciting experience with fast, dynamic 3D images, making content highly attractive and increase the chances of visitation.
Application interfaces can be curated to reflect tone, invoke emotion, and set the stage for the experience visitors can expect. Interacting with applications, tourists can visualize hotspots and destinations, creating excitement for upcoming excursions and making their experience unforgettable right from the moment they arrive.
Community Development
Digital Information is customizable and changeable with ease, offering the opportunity to raise awareness and create interest in the most relevant local initiatives. Fundraisers, local projects, and community initiatives can be easy promoted, allowing travelers the chance to support the community they’ve chosen to visit. Digital experiences support economic development and community infrastructure in the most sustainable way.
Kiosks can be strategically placed to draw traffic to areas in need of more exposure, opening local businesses and services to a whole new world of revenue.
Applications can highlight local events and attractions in need of support, creating a sense of community and fostering connection between locals and travelers. Kiosks can even be game-changing for permanent residents who are interested in becoming more active and involved in their community, or those who do not have access to social media, where most advertising is done these days. The accessibility and easy to use features of digital kiosks connect everyone, regardless of age, culture, status, or lifestyle.
The Travel Experience
Anyone who has experienced travel understands even the most carefully laid plans can go awry at moments notice. Travel can be so hectic, rushed, and just plain crazy. Interactive kiosks capture and retain attention with ease, encouraging users to slow down, and take time to explore and appreciate their destination. Interesting graphics and the wealth of information available make learning fun for all ages, and open travelers up to a world of options for experiences they may not have even known were possible!
