 Holland
introduces the Amsterdam Mobile Guide
Free guide is available as an Apple iPhone app
NEW YORK, NY April, 2009 -- For the first time, travelers to Holland will be
able to use an iPhone or a mobile web browser to explore the city of Amsterdam
from the palm of their hand. The Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions announces
the launch of the Amsterdam Mobile Guide -- a free iPhone application
available now in the Apple App Store. Anyone with a mobile web browser can also
view the Amsterdam Mobile Guide at http://us.holland.com/mobile.
The Amsterdam Mobile Guide provides mobile-phone users with striking images and
regularly updated information on Amsterdam's most popular attractions, including
museums, restaurants and bars, hotels, shopping and much more. Whether a visitor
is planning a trip or already in Holland, the Amsterdam Mobile Guide points
travelers to "must-sees" in Amsterdam while providing easy ways to contact any
of the nearly 200 venues of interest by phone, email or the web, directly from
the application. Helpful features such as Google Maps and the GPS "Near Me"
function assist travelers in finding their way around Amsterdam in real-time,
making it easier than ever to navigate Amsterdam's historic canals and shopping
districts.
For new visitors, the Amsterdam Mobile Guide includes thoughtfully designed
itineraries specific to an 8-, 48-, or 72-hour trip to Amsterdam. Travelers can
create their own itineraries on-the-go by setting personal preferences and
choosing from categories like Entertainment, Attractions, Gay and Lesbian, Night
Life, Shopping, Restaurants and Architecture to create a unique Amsterdam
experience.
In conjunction with the release of the Amsterdam Mobile Guide, the
Netherlands Board of Tourism and Conventions invites visitors to ask questions
and tap into travel and lifestyle resources via a variety of social media
outlets. Follow @VisitHolland on
Twitter, become a fan of Holland on Facebook, view and add photos to the
SeeHolland Flickr account, listen to music on Visit Holland's Blip.fm page, and
join Holland on Tumblr to get the latest news on Holland travel tips, events,
culture, design, fashion and much more.
In addition to the Netherlands Board of Tourism and Convention's social media
pages, visitors to Holland can continue to find a wealth of information at
