-
the ‘Cork.ie’ touchscreen tourism kiosks are a network of 16 touch screens in locations around the city which provide visitors with detailed information and maps on Cork’s tourist attractions, festivals, music venues, restaurants, pubs, traditional music, events, theatres and accommodation, in 8 different languages. The information is updated by the service provider on a daily basis to ensure that the service users get accurate information. Content searches are monitored, and statistics are gathered to improve the kiosk service and review what visitors are most interested in. There were approximately 71,000 page requests in 2023 via these kiosks. The online Cork City & East Cork Digital Brochure and West Cork Digital Brochures not only provide basic information about visiting the city and county but are also packed full of ideas and sample itineraries, designed for different demographics, all of which encourage the visitor to get out and connect with nature, art and culture in the city and region. ‘No Car No Stress’, ‘Family Fun Little Legs’ and ‘Foot Loose & Fancy Free’ are just some of the itineraries proposed by the site, which is integrated into the Discover Ireland website, the official tourism source for domestic holidays in Ireland. The Explore Cork App for the whole of the county was also launched by Cork County Council, providing a unique, one-stop-shop tourism app, featuring over 850 places to see and things to do in Cork (available in four languages).
