May we introduce: Our innovative pilot customer Bad Peterstal-Griesbach – national park community in the heart of the Black Forest. Together with us, they go through the complete program of digitization of a destination: from the map to individual guest profiles.

“Besides Oberstaufen, we are the first and only premium hiking destination in Germany. Therefore it is crucial for us to work with a strong partner, who understands us exactly and equips us with the best technology,” says Axel Singer, Managing Director of Kur- und Tourismus GmbH Bad-Peterstal Griesbach.

They are now the first customer to use Outdooractive’s entire range of solutions to digitize their destination and design it for the benefit of their guests.

They rely on our tried-and-tested database, into whose optimal structure all content can be easily imported.

Based on this, Bad Peterstal-Griesbach creates the foundations with its own digital travel guide to benefit from the automatic, generic reach provided by Outdooractive.

And of course, the overall package, as used by Bad Peterstal-Griesbach, provides the right answers to questions about digital visitor guidance right along with it.

Look forward to further insights into the collaboration in the future and follow our joint milestones on the way to digital Bad Peterstal Griesbach.
