Spartanburg, SC— Visiting Spartanburg just got easier with the launch of an iPhone app that acts as a destination concierge, and just may be the first mobile phone app in the Upstate.
“With the rising number of mobile phone users, we knew that this would be a great way to help visitors to the Spartanburg area find the exact information they need as they explore our area,” said Amy Phillips, Marketing Communications Manager at the SCVB.
The Spartanburg Convention and Visitors Bureau (SCVB) partnered with Visual Republique of Lawrence, MA, to create a dynamic, customer-focused iPhone application for visitors to use. The app can be purchased in the Apple iPhone store at a cost of just $0.99.
This new turnkey application acts as a personal concierge to Spartanburg County. It features a step-by-step user guide to help visitors find places to shop, dine, stay or visit; even call or map businesses and events with one touch. Users can also view and share pictures of Spartanburg and rate their experiences when they visit.
The iPhone and other smartphones are quickly growing in popularity, and increasingly being used as travel mates for people on the go.
“We partnered with Visual Repulique because they came to us with a great idea, and provided cutting edge technology at no cost to the CVB,” said Director Chris Jennings. The app can be downloaded through the iPhone app store, or by clicking the icon on the www.visitspartanburg.com web site.
