Kincardine partners with Driftscape for new lens on tourism
The Municipality of Kincardine has partnered with Driftscape, a Canadian travel app, to put a new lens on tourism.

More and more Canadians are choosing to travel locally due to the ongoing COVID-19 (Coronavirus) pandemic, states the Kincardine tourism department, in a press release issued Monday. “An increase in travel brings a new demand for tools that will empower and enhance exploration.”

Beginning tomorrow (March 2), visitors and locals of Kincardine, Ontario’s Scottish destination, will be able to tour, explore and discover the municipality conveniently in the palm of their hand.

“We are thrilled to be able to provide real-time updates and information to those living in, and/or visiting, our area,” states Kincardine tourism. “This new platform will provide us the opportunity to update attractions, dining establishments and event listings to accommodate changes in provincial protocols and regulations, as required, to best inform visitors and residents, alike.”

With the help of the Driftscape app, the municipality will be able to:
 
  • Create self-guided tours across the local area: Using audio, video and images, Kincardine will soon be able to give visitors a completely-guided experience without the need for a personal guide or guidebook, while also helping create a COVID-19 safe experience.
  • Deliver valuable and real-time information: This can be done in a way that appeals to visitors and locals the most, while helping them safely and conveniently plan their trip - even if on the go.
  • Notify visitors about unique local businesses and tourism highlights that surround them, as they explore the region.
  • Locals can now also “couch-surf” and discover various places, within and outside the region, with the Driftscape app.

More than 45 Kincardine-area highlights currently mapped in the app - ranging from gastronomic experiences that make for enchanting evenings, and must-see landmarks and sites - can now be found easily on the app.

What’s more, with the help of Driftscape app’s Augmented Reality mode (available only to iOS users), Quests, Off-line mode and other unique features, the municipality has successfully added an extra edge to the visitor experience.

This innovative step toward creating virtual access to Kincardine for its locals and visitors, is set to break COVID-19 tourism barriers and transform the way visitors explore the area.

Addressing the concern of COVID-19 safety practices, area businesses and sites of interest (where able) have all been extremely diligent in implementing all the prescribed COVID-19 protective measures to ensure the safety of the visitors and locals, alike, states Kincardine tourism.
