Vancouver Limo Industry Benefits From Tourism App

Our Vancouver limo company is quite keyed up about a new high-tech development just released for the Vancouver tourism industry. Tourists and residents alike are now able to download a free smart phone application, which puts a complete guide to Vancouver right in the palms of their hands.

What’s Tourism Vancouver’s “CitySmart” All About?

Inspired by Tourism Vancouver, and developed together with SatSports Ltd and HTC, the “CitySmart” application is the world’s first wholly interactive tourist and sporting event mobile application, providing real-time information at the tip of one’s fingers. Couple this with an advanced GPS system and you’ve got detailed street and business information with breaking news on traffic conditions.

Tourism Vancouver’s Walt Judas, vice president of Visitor Services & Communications, was quoted as saying “We are excited to partner with SatSports and HTC on such a ground-breaking mobile application. With live messaging and constant updates, CitySmart is a virtual tour guide in your pocket, assisting you at every step of your trip.”

With text messaging built right into the application, CitySmart also allows Tourism Vancouver to interact with visitors anywhere in the city, regardless of where they may be or what their activity. Users will receive live text message updates notifying them of nearby attractions, weather reports, traffic alerts (a very handy feature for the Vancouver transportation industry) and news flashes as well as providing easy access to transit planning and emergency service contacts.

How Vancouver Limousine Companies Benefit

The new application will likely become quite popular with Vancouver residents who are looking for reliable local information. Vancouver limousine service providers and cab drivers will find the up-to-the minute reports on road closures, traffic blockages and accidents as well as access points for major venues invaluable in organizing and coordinating their vehicle fleets.

On another note, we are looking forward to providing extended services to our Vancouver transportation clients such as on-the-spot detailed insight into local attractions during Vancouver limousine tours.
