Function

TOURIAS tips&deals offers tour operators, travel agents and online booking portals the chance to provide customers with a mobile phone travel guide for more than 100 of the most popular travel destinations. Once they have booked a holiday, the customer can upload useful country information, descriptions and pictures of places of interest, as well as tips for going out and recommended restaurants, directly onto their mobile phone. The guide also includes important information about the booking, such as departure and arrival dates, and addresses and descriptions of the accommodation. The mobile phone does not need to be connected to the internet for the information to be accessed, and it can be used free of charge by travellers when abroad.

Along with travel information provided by TOURIAS editorial staff and official tourism associations, TOURIAS tips&deals also includes the product GIATA tips&deals. This product provides 24,000 geocoded entries for restaurants, bars, pharmacists, doctors, airports, shops, museums and other important places of interest for tourists.

Optional extras

The screen layout for the TOURIAS tips&deals travel guides can be individually adapted for any corporate identity.

The extra “Activating Travellers” function allows tour operators, travel agents and online booking portals to reach their customers, even when they are at their holiday destination, by sending a text message. This enables them to increase sales of excursions, rental vehicles and other services required at the holiday destination. The TOURIAS tips&deals mobile phone travel guide, with the corresponding descriptions of the offers available, can then be accessed from this “Activiating Travellers” text message.

Area of Application

The TOURIAS tips&deals mobile phone travel guides can be integrated into tour operators', travel agents' and online booking portals' websites and booking systems. This integration can be achieved within or outside the booking process.
