WEST DORSET: New app to help visitors
By Trevor Bevins VISITING Dorset just became a little easier – for owners of Apple iPhones. Visit Dorset has just launched a free app which will help visitors and residents discover things to do and places to visit in Dorset.
The app also uses geo-locating technology and mapping for directions from the user’s current location to attractions, accommodation, restaurants and shops. The Visit Dorset iPhone app has been led by the tourism team at West Dorset District Council (WDDC) on behalf of all the rural Dorset local authorities together with the county council. Nick Thornley, WDDC’s leisure and tourism manager said: “This new app will provide an invaluable source of information for residents and visitors to Dorset. “They will be able to search accommodation, events and attractions, find essential information and even get suggested itineraries. “We believe it is vital for us to invest in this new technology for local businesses to ensure that the county maintains a competitive edge as a holiday destination and businesses can capitalise on people’s increasing reliance on mobile technology.” An android app is currently being developed and will be available to download shortly.
