The Virginia Tourism Corporation has launched its first, state-wide mobile travel guide - the Virginia is for Lovers iPhone App.
The mobile guide is available for free at the iTunes app store for iPhones and iPads users.
Some of the highlights are as follows:
• More than 12,000 listings including restaurants, hotels, wineries, museums and historical sites across the state.
• A “Near Me” feature which allows users to find all attractions in a 15 mile radius
• Directions and mapping feature for every listing
• Direct access to call for reservations via phone or website
• Customer reviews for restaurants and lodging properties
“Technology plays an important role in tourism marketing and new developments like these are key to keeping visitors traveling throughout our state,” said Lieutenant Governor Bill Bolling. “Virginia’ s new iPhone app will help Virginia stay top of mind and connect with travelers who increasingly use technology while planning and taking vacations.”
Tourism generates $19.2 billion in revenue for Virginia, supports 210,000 jobs and provides $1.28 billion in state and local taxes for communities.
