For the first time, Outdooractive is offering destinations, hotels and events a free service that provides guests and participants with an incentive and added value to explore the region. At the same time, digital guest profiles can be generated, which can be used to guide visitors even more effectively.
One of the biggest levers in digital visitor management is the issue of parking spaces. Especially on days with “overtourism”, the hunt is on for the last free parking spaces. When the parking lots are full, there is either unnecessary parking lot search traffic with clogged streets, or cars are parked somewhere without regard for local property owners.
Now there is a way for guests to find out online and live where there is still available parking. We’ve developed a live heatmap that uses a traffic light system to show parking lot capacity at that moment. The data comes directly from digital payment systems for parking spaces. We cooperate with the largest digital systems for parking services Easypark and ParkNow for this.
Outdooractive brings you the first live view of guests, combining data from hardware tracking with GPS-positioning, to support destinations manage their guests. Here we give you a first look at some of the effective features of the first version, which is available for order now.

The new design of the Map Layer emphasizes the functionality of the different elements. As a result, users see more options than ever before, regardless of the screen size of their mobile device.
