JERUSALEM - WishTrip, a leading tourism experience management platform, announced the release of their new Trek Pilot, which reimagines navigating outdoor attractions. The WishTrip app acts as a guide for travellers on treks and trails generated by visitor attractions and previous users with popular points of interest along the way. The software includes a system of color-coated, directional arrows that help direct users through the journey for which WishTrip received a patent from the US Patent Office, a distinction rarely obtained for software today.
“Traditional GPS was designed to take users from point ‘A’ to point ‘B’ with speed and efficiency. While this is the best way to commute to a given destination, it doesn't account for the experience of the journey itself,” WishTrip CEO Bezalel Lenzizky says. “We built Trek Pilot focused directly on this journey, giving travellers the confidence to explore and engage with the location they are visiting, without getting lost. It also allows travel destinations and attractions to have a larger role in shaping the experience of their visitors and provide additional resources.,” Lenzizky explains.
Created via user and destination-generated routes, the newly announced navigation will allow travellers to effortlessly guide themselves, giving them information about the trail and location throughout the journey. Other helpful details include up-to-date ETAs that will notify users if their trek will finish after dark, a weather notification system, and the ability to preconfigure a trail from any start and end point.
WishTrip is a tourism experience management platform that delivers attraction owners and operators solutions to improve visitor engagement, and help visitor attractions run more effectively, and profitably. The new navigation system, which has been integrated into the WishTrip platform, will allow users and destinations to create and share treks around the world.
“The Trek Pilot software we created over the last two and a half years is the engine that drives WishTrip,” Lenzizky adds. “The user interface was specifically tailored to allow visitors to freely explore a trek, without interrupting the experience of the journey as many GPS apps do.”
