Learn how the Digital Tourist Kiosk™ complements traditional visitor services and helps communities showcase everything they have to offer.
Google and search engines are excellent search tools, but they were designed to help people find individual businesses and websites. The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ is designed to help visitors discover an entire community by bringing together local businesses, attractions, events, accommodations, dining, wineries, services, and visitor information in one convenient location.
Visitors often don't know what they don't know. They may search for a restaurant but miss local attractions, events, hidden gems, wineries, museums, shops, or community experiences. The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ helps visitors discover everything a community has to offer, not just what they happen to search for.
Visitor information is often fragmented across multiple websites, Facebook pages, tourism portals, event calendars, business directories, brochures, and social media accounts. Visitors must search multiple sources to find what they need. The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ consolidates that information into one convenient community resource.
A visitor looking for information about a community may need to visit the Visitor Centre website, Chamber of Commerce website, municipal website, tourism website, event calendars, Facebook pages, individual business websites, and Google searches. The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ provides a single starting point that helps visitors find local information faster and more easily.
No. It complements the Visitor Centre by extending its reach beyond its physical location and operating hours. The kiosk helps visitors access local information when the Visitor Centre is closed or when they are already exploring the community.
Traditional directories are simply lists of businesses. The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ is a community-focused visitor resource that can feature attractions, events, accommodations, wineries, dining, local experiences, maps, visitor information, and special offers alongside local businesses.
Businesses gain visibility to visitors who are actively exploring the community. Listings can include photos, descriptions, websites, directions, contact information, promotions, and special offers designed to encourage visits and purchases.
The Digital Tourist Kiosk™ helps visitors discover more local businesses and attractions, encourages longer stays, increases visitor spending, supports tourism development, and provides a centralized resource that promotes the entire community.
The kiosk extends the Visitor Centre's influence beyond its building, supports local businesses, improves visitor access to information, and helps position the Visitor Centre as the central hub for community tourism information.
The Visitor Center That Never Closes™.
By combining local business information, attractions, events, accommodations, and visitor resources into one digital destination, communities can provide visitors with convenient access to information anytime, anywhere.
