Use Case: Tour Guide – Enhancing Maps with Guided Experiences

Friday, August 1, 2025 - 05:41

City maps are a staple for tourists, but they often leave visitors wandering without context or direction. As a tour guide, you know the real magic of a city isn’t just where things are located — it’s the stories, history, and local tips that bring it to life. The challenge is getting that information into the hands of people who may not have booked a full tour with you yet.

By adding short links to printed or digital maps, you create a bridge between static paper and rich multimedia experiences. Visitors can type or scan the link on their phone and instantly access guided tour videos, narrated walks, or insider recommendations. It’s like offering a bite-sized tour on demand, letting travelers experience your expertise at their own pace.

This approach builds trust and brand recognition. Even if someone doesn’t book a full tour immediately, they’ve already connected with you through your content. Later, when they’re looking for a live guide or recommending activities to friends, your name is the one they remember.
