Tourism Trail App

The Visit Angus Pocket Tour Guide app aims to encourage visitors to explore more of Angus and hopefully encourage people to stay longer, and was created in collaboration with the Angus Tourism Framework marketing group and 7 community groups representing each town.

There are 80 different stops identified on the app as places of interest for visitors. Each stop has a description, picture gallery, and links to any relevant films. Each town trail will link back to the Visit Angus website which will showcase places to eat, stay and visit per town area. The app also contains interactive content including augmented reality, 360 images, and fun games.

The app maps out the electric vehicle charging points throughout Angus, and with the use of Google Maps, visitors can easily find locations.
