Mobile Apps for Tourism

For tourism businesses and destinations, mobile technology has never been more efficient or effective. Working alongside a web presence, mobile applications can enable the provision of information and communication with visitors while in the destination.

4TM Social Media has built its experience and capacity, enabling us to research your customers’ requirements for mobile access to information and services, and to develop compelling mobile websites and applications (apps). This is a huge market that works for the increasingly mobile and flexible tourist.

Mobile devices, such as the iPhone, Blackberry and Google Android, are becoming ever more sophisticated. CCS Insight predicts that by the end of 2009 some 44% of mobile users will access data via their handsets, rather than simply using them for text and phone.

This mobile growth is being largely driven by social networks as both become an integral part of our lives. 65 million people access Facebook through their mobile telephones.

From a business perspective, if you’re on mobile, you’re with your customers 24/7: at home, at work, at the shops, in the park, on a night out.

Working with our partner company, Open Brolly, we will develop a mobile experience which draws on information, databases and other resources already held by organisations.
