Knowledge

City guide goes digital: what’s behind it

What is a digital city guide?

A digital city guide is a guide to a city as a web publication. It presents places, restaurants, sights and tips, often along a route or through the course of a day. Guests open it by QR code or link on their phone, without an app.

What makes a good city guide?

A clear idea, such as a day in the city or tips from locals, a personal tone, good pictures and practical information like address, opening hours and directions. On a phone, every stop should be quick to take in.

How do hotels use a city guide?

As a service for guests: by QR code in the room or a link in the confirmation email. The guide strengthens the bond with the hotel and can be tied to its own offers, such as the restaurant or spa.
