Use digitalization as an opportunity: with the digital holiday companion, guests receive a high-quality information, service, sales and marketing tool including a mobile guest card, experience shop and online ticketing.
Tailored to the respective period of stay and individual interests, the PIA puts the destination offer in the display of guest computers, tablets and smartphones. No time-consuming searching on the net, but individual and relevant tips and suggestions available on demand at all times.
The PIA, Personal Interests’ Assistant, is an all-rounder: this multilingual app guides guests through the destination, is a direct communication channel between guest and host, knows all events, helps plan activities, enables online ticketing, increases regional added value and brings another significant advantage: more time for personal care of guests.
The digital holiday companion goes beyond the usual customer journey and strengthens the appearance of the destination and its service providers. From inspiration to planning to information to communication, the PIA is always present. As a brand ambassador, it connects guests to the respective destination and raises service to a new level.
With an upgrade, landlords convert the digital holiday companion into a full-fledged digital concierge and additionally push offers of their company or business operation (wellness, cuisine, sports, last minute promotions, guided hikes, etc.). Individually adjusted to the respective hotel or other accommodation facility, the PIA becomes a reliable digital employee.
With the employee edition you can strengthen your employer brand. As an information, service, discount and loyalty instrument, PIA can also offer employees a variety of advantages. For example, exclusive discounts at the region's top attractions as well as discounts at various shops and leisure facilities. This also increases the attractiveness of the region for employees.
PIA emphasizes employers' commitment to an attractive working environment. And PIA also brings advantages for the participating companies and service partners. PIA makes it possible to increase marketing presence, increase the reach of the offer and strengthen customer loyalty. Employers can also use the card as an additional incentive for future job advertisements.

The PIA is technically a Progressive Web App (PWA): no download from the App Store is necessary; it works independently of the device (Smartphone, tablet, desktop etc.) and updates itself automatically.
Guests open an automatically generated link, which they receive with the booking confirmation or as part of the guest notification or via a web form. Guests register – you thus receive the right to use the guest data – and quickly and easily add the link for mobile use to their home screen on their smartphone and your destination is already there.
There is no additional cost – landlords create a pre-registration as part of their guest registration via a hotel program or MeldeClient; guests then receive an automatically generated link to their personal digital holiday companion and can browse and plan immediately. Alternatively, the digital holiday companion can be provided manually or by guests themselves via the Web form (widget for destination and accommodation websites).
The destination or host names the digital holiday companion and uses it as a customer loyalty tool. This could be Lara, Harry or Paul, or your own icon or the destination logo.
Information that is individually tailored to the period of stay and interests. Thanks to the integration of content from the destination management system from feratel and various interfaces, for example to tour operators, an optimum of information services focused on the guest is also guaranteed. The digital guest card or experience shop can also be easily integrated.
According to the motto “stay in contact”, the tourism organization can also provide interesting offers from the destination at any time on the smartphone after the guest’s departure, in addition to conventional customer relation management campaigns (e.g., via newsletter marketing), and – ideally – inspire another trip.
The digital holiday companion is a real data broker. With the permission of guests, movement and usage data are collected and can subsequently be evaluated, analyzed and used for improvements in marketing – naturally the app is GDPR-compliant.
We look forward to new tasks and challenges!
