September 26, 2013

India's Maharashtra Tourism Development Corporation earlier this month launched its first touchscreen information kiosk for tourists at its Aurangabad office, according to the Times of India.

MTDC plans to set up 11 of the kiosks at various historical sites across Marathwada to give area visitors access to information about monuments and other destinations.

"The kiosks will provide handy information to tourists round the clock, including links to the MTDC website, tourist spots across the state, distance of a particular site from a visitor's current location, accommodation facilities at various MTDC resorts and their tariffs and instructions on how to reach a particular tourist spot through routes, map, photographs and videos," Shekhar Jaiswal, MTDC Aurangabad senior regional manager, said in the article.
