In today’s tourism industry, staying ahead means more than just providing exceptional service, it’s about using smart, tech-driven solutions that cater to the modern traveler’s needs.
Tourism businesses are now being asked to do more with less, and guests expect seamless, flexible experiences at every turn. LUGGit and SmartGuide are two cutting-edge services that help you meet these expectations, offering solutions that not only enhance the customer experience but also improve operational efficiency and unlock new revenue streams.
The Changing Face of Travel: Flexibility and Personalization
Today’s travelers have one thing in common: they want convenience and control. Whether they’re backpacking through Europe or visiting a new city for a weekend getaway, travelers increasingly expect flexible, tech-driven services that fit their schedules and needs.
For tourism businesses, this presents both a challenge and an opportunity. How do you meet these new demands while maintaining efficient operations and boosting revenue? This is where LUGGit and SmartGuide come into play.
How LUGGit Solves the Luggage Problem
One of the most frequent frustrations for travelers is managing luggage, especially during check-in and check-out times. Whether you run an accommodation or organize events or tours, you’ve likely encountered customers looking for a place to store their luggage before check-in or after check-out. This creates additional strain on your operations and often leaves customers feeling inconvenienced.
LUGGit offers a solution by providing an on-demand luggage collection, storage, and delivery service. Here’s how it works:
- Travelers can schedule a service via the LUGGit app or website. A Keeper collects the luggage, stores it, and delivers it to the guest’s chosen location whenever they want it back. It can be delivered to a hotel, short-term rental, airport, or anywhere else within LUGGit’s operational area.
- This service allows travelers to explore freely without the burden of dragging bags around, making the last or first day of their trip more enjoyable.
For tourism businesses, LUGGit offers significant advantages:
- Hotels and Short-Term Rentals: You no longer have to store guests' luggage or juggle requests for late check-outs or early arrivals. This reduces operational headaches and ensures your guests are happy from start to finish.
- Events and Conferences: If you’re organizing an event, LUGGit can handle luggage for attendees, allowing them to enjoy the event without worrying about their bags.
- Travel Agencies and Tour Operators: By recommending LUGGit, you provide a seamless experience for your customers, whether they’re in between destinations or exploring a new city.
The best part? LUGGit operates on a commission-based model, meaning you don’t have to pay for anything, and every time your guests use the service, your business earns a percentage of the booking, creating a new income stream.
SmartGuide: A Digital Revolution in Tours
Guided tours are a core offering for many tourism businesses, but today’s travelers are increasingly looking for self-guided, personalized experiences that allow them to explore at their own pace. That’s where SmartGuide comes in.
SmartGuide is a platform that enables tour operators, tourist boards, and destinations to create and offer or sell digital self-guided tours. With SmartGuide, travelers can access high-quality, immersive tours through their smartphones, allowing them to discover a destination on their own schedule.
What does this mean for your business?
- Tour Operators: You can scale your offerings by creating digital tours that guests can purchase anytime, anywhere. Once the tour is set up, you no longer need to worry about staffing live guides or limiting tours to specific times. This allows you to serve more customers with fewer operational demands.
- Tourist Boards and Destinations: Offering SmartGuide’s digital tours can enhance the visitor experience by providing them with interactive, content-rich guides to your city or attraction. Whether it’s a walking tour of historical landmarks or a cultural exploration of local cuisine, SmartGuide’s platform helps you showcase your destination in a modern, accessible way.
