Commentary: New York City touchscreen tourism kiosks get thumbs up
February 18, 2009
Condé Nast Traveler:NYC & Company, the official marketing and tourism organization for New York City, has redesigned its visitor information center, replacing brochure racks with digital touchscreen kiosks. Visitors can move a "puck" across a map displayed on the touchscreen and be presented with a list of nearby attractions. The self-service tech is a significant improvement over the racks of less eco-friendly print brochures, according to Liz Granger of Condé Nast Traveler.
