New Method of Augmented-Reality Traveling Through Tourism Start-Up

Guidestock is a new way of interacting with a city and its sights through a cell phone application based on augmented reality. A combination of GPS navigation, guides recorded by real travelers and photos of city sights give you the experience of having visited a place. There is also an opportunity to record your own travel experiences using either web or app toolkit to create your own guide, which you can share with your friends by embedding it in your blog. Also, tours published inside the app can earn their creators money through a variety of royalty schemes.

Today Guidestock.com is launching a beta version of its online toolset for crafting audio tour guides, and invites travelers to take part. Check what the Guidestock CEO has to say about it.

“We are proud to help tourists note and share their amazing travel experiences in this wonderful new way. Our toolset gives you an opportunity mark your tour on a map from start to finish, highlighting city sights or specific places you would like to emphasize in your personal travel story, and the tool will automatically create a GPS-navigated guide for your tour. It is as easy as marking a route through a city on a printed map! Next you can add prerecorded narratives, and link them to corresponding tour segments.”

“The tool offers the ability to cut and mute your recordings, so they’ll readily fit a walk along the corresponding distance. If you have something else to say about a building, monument, or any other object, you can use ‘stand’ mode – the user will be notified that he should stop and listen, and the place you are talking about will be identified by its photo.”

This isn’t rocket science; record your travel experience on any audio recording device, take pictures of city sights, get to your laptop and visit http://www.guidestock.com. There, pinpoint your path on a city map, indicate interesting places along the way, add photos and your audio recordings, and press “Submit” The tool will automatically compose all your data in to your personal audio tour guide. Just name it, add a catchy description, and wait for your royalties to come in.

Different Types of Cruise Holidays

Every cruise operator and liner offers a different experience, whether it's the range of destinations you can visit, the onboard entertainment, the cuisine or the list of facilities. But the variety goes much further than that. Before you've even selected your perfect itinerary or chosen a ship, there are other considerations - such as do you prefer to fly or sail from the UK? How long do you want to travel for? Will you combine your cruise with a land-based stay? And so on.

Cruise holidays follow many different formats and even within the same operator, you'll find a fantastic range of choice.

So what are the main types of cruise holidays?

First off, fly cruise is one of the most popular formats. As the name suggests, you combine your cruise with return flights which means you save time on sailing from the UK, and it allows you to get to your first destination much more quickly. This in turn cuts down the amount of time you're at sea and means you can potentially visit more destinations within the time frame. And because of its popularity, you're likely to find plenty of fly cruise deals too, which helps to make your holiday a little easier on the pocket.

The other option is to sail from the UK. There are various reasons for this - partly it appeals to those who don't want to fly, which opens cruise holidays up to a wider audience. Also it helps to keeps the costs down which makes this style of cruising a little more competitive.

Then there arecruise and stay holidays. For those who want to make the most of their cruise and enjoy an extended holiday experience, this could be the perfect solution. With a cruise and stay, you'll combine your sea-based cruise itinerary with a stay in a land-based hotel. It can take a variety of different formats - for instance, you could have a straightforward week on a cruise followed by a further week in a hotel, staying in your final port of call. Or you could take a Caribbean cruise and, on the last day, fly to New York for a further few days in the city. It's your choice.

Which type of cruise holiday tickles your fancy?
