Augmenting Local Businesses with Digital Tourism Kiosks
Tourism and welcome centers play a crucial role in shaping a visitor’s first impression of a city. But beyond providing basic wayfinding and information, modern digital kiosks have evolved into powerful economic drivers. Eflyn’s EasyFind Pro CivicConnect is setting a new benchmark in tourism technology, equipping cities with interactive kiosks that not only amplify visitor experiences but also boost local businesses.
Advancing Visitor Engagement into Economic Impact
Traditional tourism brochures and static maps are a thing of the past. Today’s visitors expect dynamic, real-time, and interactive solutions that provide a seamless experience. Eflyn’s EasyFind Pro CivicConnect is a comprehensive software solution that transforms tourism engagement through features like Themed Interactive Trails, Augmented Reality (AR) Navigation, and SocialBooth Pro all working together to connect visitors with local businesses and attractions.
Themed Interactive Trails: Personalized Exploration
One of the most innovative features of EasyFind Pro CivicConnect is Themed Interactive Trails, which allow cities to create curated experiences for different types of travelers. Whether a visitor is interested in a “Kid-Friendly Journey” that highlights family-friendly attractions, or a “Historic Landmarks Tour” exploring the city’s cultural gems, these interactive trails make exploration more engaging while strategically guiding foot traffic to local businesses along the route.
For local businesses, this means increased exposure to tourists actively looking for experiences that match their interests. Restaurants, gift shops, galleries, and entertainment venues can all benefit from being featured on these curated trails, ensuring they capture the attention of visitors in real time.
Augmented Reality Navigation: The Future of Wayfinding
Eflyn takes digital wayfinding to the next level with Augmented Reality (AR) Navigation. Instead of relying solely on static maps, visitors can use their mobile devices to view real-world directions overlaid on physical spaces, leading them to specific destinations.
Imagine a tourist holding up their phone and seeing a digital arrow guiding them to a nearby coffee shop or an interactive pop-up showcasing historical facts about a landmark. This futuristic approach not only amplifies user engagement but also increases foot traffic for local businesses by making it easier for tourists to reveal them.
SocialBooth Pro: Making Tourism Shareable
Social media plays a huge role in modern tourism, and Eflyn’s SocialBooth Pro turns visitors into brand ambassadors. By allowing tourists to take photos with fun background frames featuring local legends, landmarks, or event promotions, businesses can tap into free word-of-mouth marketing as visitors share their experiences online.
Cities can use this feature to promote seasonal festivals, restaurant weeks, or new store openings, creating buzz and driving more people to local establishments. With real-time analytics, businesses and tourism boards can also track engagement, measuring the impact of digital signage in attracting new customers.
Facilitating Cities with Data-Driven Insights
One of the most valuable aspects of Eflyn’s EasyFind Pro CivicConnect kiosks is their ability to collect data on visitor behavior. Cities and local businesses can gain insights into:
- Which attractions receive the most interest
- How visitors navigate through different areas
- Peak tourism times and foot traffic trends
- Popular businesses and locations based on search data
This intelligence enables tourism boards and businesses to refine marketing strategies, optimize signage placement, and improve overall visitor experiences leading to increased economic benefits.
The Competitive Edge: Why Eflyn Leads the Market
Unlike conventional digital signage providers, Eflyn seamlessly integrates hardware, software, and AI-powered analytics into a single solution. While competitors may offer basic wayfinding solutions, Eflyn’s approach is fully interactive, data-driven, and future-proof.

For municipalities, tourism organizations, and investors, Eflyn’s digital tourism kiosks offer more than just information; they offer a revenue-generating opportunity. Local businesses can subscribe to be featured on interactive trails, purchase ad space, and integrate loyalty programs, creating a sustainable digital ecosystem that benefits both visitors and local economies.
