About

The Dutch tourism industry is booming and Kinderdijk has never been more popular. This is great news of course, but how do you manage the influx of crowds, whilst ensuring an exciting, enriching and safe experience for all visitors - in the wide variety of languages they speak? These were the questions we grappled with whilst designing the ultimate customer experience for World Heritage Kinderdijk.

Result

A personal tour guide app that enriches the experience of every Kinderdijk visitor, and that offers insights and analytics for the organisation. Through designing the experience and using data to steer people away from peak moments and places, we ensure that the windmills and the unique history of Kinderdijk are ready for the future. Protecting what we love, by giving people what they love.

To manage this massive visitor influx we developed a personalised travel planner. Allowing the visitors to choose their preferred transport, whilst alleviating the pressure put on public resources.

Every use of the app gives real time insights in visitor behaviour and location, pinpointing where any problems might arise. Based on anonymous data the algorithm uses predictive analytics to react to potential overcrowding. This visitor management system is automated and can be monitored in a dashboard that gives live insight into the data streams.
