Social responsibility starts right in front of your doorstep

Corporate Social Responsibility is an important part of Outdooractive’s company culture. To live up to that responsibility, we do not merely support the global initiative 1% for the Planet, but also make an important contribution to the protection of our environment by closely cooperating with Digitize the Planet ensuring all protected areas and their rules become digitally available.

Furthermore Outdooractive is ready to take over responsibility on a local level. Our company car fleet consists of EV models only and we incentivize all employees to commute to work by bike. Last but not least, Outdooractive regularly supports disadvantaged families from our home region, the Allgäu. Thus we want to make a difference for our local community and for these families in particular, for example ensuring they can celebrate a happy Christmas. Donating money and gifts was again an important task to be taken care of in 2022 and we hope to have a big impact with this little gesture even if it is not for a great number of people.

Successful trail management for an optimal guest experience

The quality of the trail network determines whether a guest experience turns out well or poorly. Adequate signage, clear wayfinding and marking, are just a few of the key points that describe successful trail management.

The outdoor experience must be consistent with marketing communications to achieve good ratings and reviews.

Consistent quality can only be achieved with a hybrid model: Communicated promises and reality on the ground are based on the same database.

The quality of hiking and biking trails with their signage and markings are an essential part of the tourism infrastructure.

Tourist infrastructure projects were the real origin of Outdooractive and the knowledge from 20 years of planning flows into our system. We make the bundling of our know-how available to our partners in the form of our platform, which supports the management of trail networks and visitors. Only with fully integrated trail management in the tourism system can the guest be offered the best experience.

Why should you use digital trail management?

By being able to identify defects faster and more accurately, you save yourself not only time but also money. Repairs take less time and at the same time you increase your efficiency.

Take advantage of real-time data and make the job easier for yourself, trail managers and coordinators. Information can be shared more easily, tasks created directly as soon as hazards are identified.

Guide your guests through your destination in a structured way and provide accurate distances. This not only improves the quality of service for your guests, but also ultimately their experience in your destination.

With Destination Pro+, trail management is already fully possible. In addition to a perfectly maintained infrastructure, benefit from live tracking of customers, your state-of-the-art website and much more.
