Diatouch supplies survey kiosks to the Caribbean

December 29, 2005

PHOENIX, Ariz. - Aruba Cruise Tourism (ACT), a non-profit organization of the government of Aruba, selected Diatouch to provide the region's first survey and information kiosks in its cruise terminals, according to a news release.

Since the 1950s, Aruba has aspired to be the preferred destination for all respected cruise itineraries. In its new "Welcome Back" campaign, ACT is striving to convert cruise passengers into land-based vacationers.

As part of that effort, ACT chose Diatouch, a Phoenix-based company specializing in software for touchscreen self-service kiosks and kiosk integration, to supply four survey and information kiosks and their application software throughout Aruba's cruise terminals.

The survey and information kiosks, the first ever in the entire Caribbean region, were installed in December 2005. Diatouch worked closely with its Aruban distributor, Vision Marketing Services, to custom-design and implement the self-service survey and information kiosks. The kiosks made in Arizona are equipped with 17-inch SAW touch screen monitors, IBM small form factor PC's with 2.6 GHz Intel Celeron processors and feature specially treated aluminum enclosures to withstand the demanding seawater environment in Aruba.
