Audio guides - today's technology for future progress!

You are the owner of a tourist attraction and you have become aware that you have to offer something to your visitors better and otherwise How would you stand out in the sea of offers?

You have come to the right conclusion! Tourists are the future, as we have already written about it, those who are looking for technology in all aspects, including in tourism. They don't want outdated promotional flyers, classic sightseeing tours and everything that has been seen countless times before.

And that's why in this article we will introduce you to one more feature that you can use to attract visitors of the future: not quite classic audio guide for your museum, gallery, nature park or the entire city or municipality!

Why an audio guide?

Galleries and museums, boat rides, cultural sights - everyone who has walked around a popular tourist destination at least once knows the sight: groups of tourists walking around with headphones in their ears and listening to information about what they see. But have you ever thought about how convenient it actually is? How much do such "gadgets" make your job easier as a tourist attraction, and how much additional value do they bring to visitors?

Let's look at audio guides from several aspects.

There is no need for individual guidance

Tourist guides are always full of information and can conveniently convey all important information about a landmark to interested visitors. We are not disputing that here. However, it should be borne in mind that in noisy spaces this kind of listening to information is difficult, while audio guides guarantee visitors clear sound thanks to headphones. Also, classic guides don't have enough time to go back to some information they may not have heard well, while audio guides can always be rewound. 

On the other hand, we also have classic plates with descriptions of attractions, and we believe that we don't even have to explain the impracticality of their static in crowds, right?

It is financially and environmentally profitable

Institutions or destinations that introduce audio guides have minimal acquisition and maintenance costs such systems, and the value they get is long-lasting and profitable. Forget the financial cost of printing information leaflets, and also the translation into various languages, which is required every time. What's more, forget about audio guides that require you to have special devices to play them on - our AudioGUIDE comes as an app that anyone can run on their mobile phone (no download required). And once you secure it for your attraction, there's no maintenance!

So audio guides are here to save you money.

In addition to being profitable from a financial point of view, audio guides they also protect our environment. How? Precisely thanks to the fact that you will not create waste with the printing of flyers and other promotional materials! 

Adapted to modern tourists

Modern audio guides like our AudioGUIDE come in app form. 

Today, absolutely everyone uses mobile applications and knows how to install and use them, regardless of whether they are 20 or 50 years old. Then again, when you present them with a mobile app as a way to get information about a tourist attraction, visitors will see it as proof that your institution is going keeping up with the times! This kind of audio guidance is especially convenient when visiting attractions such as caves, where there is no internet connection. Yes, yes, no internet is required to use the mobile app!

But in case you have a classic ("overground") attraction, then you can make the visit even easier for your visitors: just show them the QR code that they have to scan and click on the link, then touch the device to the NFC tag and that's it. A web application will open to them without downloading, installing and logging in. In other words, it will use a classic web browser (Chrome, Safari or another). So simple, yet so effective, right? 

Have we convinced you of all the positive aspects of the audio guide? We are sure that we are and that you yourself are now thinking about how you could apply them. So let us tell you a little more about AudioGUIDE.

AudioGUIDE – familiar, yet different and interesting!

We can now tell you about our audio guide multilingual and that they will adapt to tourists regardless of where they come from - after all, more than half of the world's population speaks at least one foreign language. And the rest have no need for it because their mother tongue is extremely widespread, as is the case with the USA.

Then we could tell you that, given that we are constantly following the latest trends, our audio guide can be recorded with AI voice (and trust us, it will sound great)! 

And if you are worried about whether it can be integrated into your attraction, that is, in the special features of the space you have, we will also tell you that this audio guide adapts to your specifications and allows you to move around given points in the space or on a specially adapted map. And yes, this all applies regardless of whether it is an outdoor or indoor space!

But we know what they say: actions, not words!

So we will mention to you that our AudioGUIDE is already used in Archaeological Museum of Istria (that is, the Amphitheater in Pula), d Museum "Staro selo" in Kumrovac and on a cute little one the island of Košljun. Our partnership with these institutions and municipalities marks mutual satisfaction, and we are sure that ours will be the same!
