Tourist destinations are supposed to feel like a dream. They are supposed to take you\u00a0into a different world, where\u00a0you’ll\u00a0forget all of the things waiting for you\u00a0back home. The problem is that even though places like Disneyland, New York City, and Las Vegas are fun, they can also be very stressful.
\nFiguring out where to go and how to get there is tiring enough. But then having to worry about lost property\u00a0in the hotel room, check-ins, and more is just added stress. Which is why you’ll be happy to hear\u00a0vacationing is\u00a0about to get a lot more enjoyable. And it’s all thanks to an app you’ve already got on your phone.
\nHere\u2019s 5 Ways Tourist Destinations Can Use Passbook to make your vacation easier.<\/p>\n

1. Never forget an event ticket again by storing them in Passbook<\/h3>\n

Your stomach drops. The sweats set in. You sink to the\u00a0floor. It’s the worst feeling in the\u00a0world,\u00a0realizing you left\u00a0your ticket in your hotel room. Or worse, at home. But by\u00a0offering a mobile ticket, stored in your native mobile wallet<\/a>, you would no longer need to worry\u00a0about things like this. All you need to remember is your phone, which you aren\u2019t likely\u00a0to forget.
\nBy\u00a0placing the event ticket in Apple’s Passbook, you can receive up to date information, notifications,\u00a0relevant offers for discounts on concessions, and\u00a0even suggestions for other events that you may be interested in. The pass can even remind you that the event is starting, so that you can be sure to show up on time – with the pass. Plus, it\u2019s great for the companies holding the event. Mobile wallet passes<\/a> reduce the amount of counterfeit tickets, printing costs, paper waste, and have been shown<\/a> to stimulate\u00a0a higher redemption rate.<\/p>\n

2. Cities could\u00a0make transportation easier and more convenient with Passbook<\/h3>\n

From airline tickets to train tickets, transportation could be much simpler, mobile friendly, and a lot more interesting. You may have already seen how Apple Pay UK and Passbook can achieve this with\u00a0Transport For London<\/a>, and how Mobile Wallets can enhance travel experiences <\/a>as a whole. But there’s more.
\nPassbook allows for any type of ticket to be made into a ‘pass’ and stored on a mobile phone via a mobile wallet. This means no more digging through your purse or wallet trying to find your train ticket. Passbook passes can also be updated in real-time, plus anyone with the pass in their phone can receive a lock-screen push notifications. This way, ticket holders can be made aware if their flight is delayed or their train won’t make it on time.
\nOverall, tickets in Passbook allow for your mind to be at ease as you travel. Knowing that you will always have your ticket, that you’ll be notified instantly of any delays, and that you can directly access websites or customer service information on the\u00a0back.<\/p>\n

3. Everybody wins with a chain pass in Passbook<\/h3>\n

Sometimes on vacation you simply don\u2019t know where to go. Whether it is for lunch, dinner, dessert, or just a place to take a break, it can be difficult to figure out what\u00a0to do.\u00a0With a Passbook “Chain Pass”, however, both businesses and consumers win. A Chain Pass allows for businesses to create a seamless mobile O2O\u00a0experience, connecting you from interaction to interaction.
\nFor example, let\u2019s say you grabbed your morning coffee from a place near your hotel. That coffee shop could offer you a discount on your coffee through a coupon in Passbook. After you redeem that coupon at the counter, it could automatically change\u00a0in Passbook and gives you a new discount on a\u00a0lunch set from a restaurant somewhere else in town. Now you not only know where to\u00a0go for lunch, but you will also get a new experience when you arrive. That\u2019s a win-win.
\nWhich is\u00a0a win-win-win-win-keep-on-winning,\u00a0if you added even more links to the Passbook Chain Pass.
