Abstract

Using Leeuwarden as a starting point and focusing on the city’s existing infrastructure and distinctive characteristics, a smart phone application was developed to connect water tourists with city information. The application allows visitors to access interactive city tours using their mobile phone as a guide. The project goal was to create a connection with the user in order to share information, help bring water tourists into the city center and further to integrate sustainable aspects as well. Some of the main advantages of this project are the low implementation costs and the opportunity of reaching a larger target market—in addition to water tourists—all tourists in Leeuwarden could utilize the application, offering a greater chance of success.
