Farol City Guides Porto
Farol City Guides reinforces the promotion effort of the city of Porto to be a competitive touristic destination, on an innovative way for short-time visitors. The beta version of this intelligent guide is for now available for Android smartphones free of charge. The guide enables personalised tours in the city, adapting to the user’s available time and personal preferences. It is therefore the best travel tool for business travellers and low-cost visitors, lacking time to plan their trips.
“This is the first project complementing our new tourism web platform, answering to the expectations of the tourists visiting the city” said Mr. Feliz during the press conference. He added: “It is a first mobile application by the Municipality in collaboration with researchers incubated at the European Space Agency. This fact makes us prouder of having established this partnership”.
Farol Porto enables, among other features, to create individual routes according to the time available using a GPS based map and showing in real-time all relevant point of interest around the user, including detailed multimedia information about the touristic points. The artificial intelligence of the guide tailors Farol to the users’ profile. Also, the guide works totally offline, saving any potential roaming costs.
“I am personally proud of starting the commercialisation of our product in Porto, the city where I was born and grew”, stated to TV Porto Mr. Bruno Fernandes, founder and Managing Director of LatitudeN. “This new tool is definitively a value-added to Porto, supporting the city on the strategy to become a relevant and attractive region in Europe” added the company’s manager.
The beta version of FAROL Porto is available on www.farolworld.com and directly on the Android Market.
