In the center of Porto, a post full of technology tourism – TSF Online

Best location is impossible.

It’s across the street due to the São Bento train station, it is five steps from a mouth of underground and behind is the square of Cardosas.

Listen to the report Rui Tukayana the presentation of the new Port Welcome Center

the location of the new Port Welcome Center is so enviable that Laura Giménez almost stumbled in the new store. It comes from Madrid and says he “never saw” anything.

They are even many screens. It has staff available to give all kinds of information, but who is ashamed to ask – or if like the Dutch Mareja Knievel, who says he is “too arrogant to ask” – can only use the options available to get the information demand.

This is an investment of EUR 2.1 million that obtained support from European funds. The location of the space explains part of the value, but the money spent on interactive screens also contributed.

Just to the store entrance, the director Isabel Castro points to a wall with a two meter monitors that give account agenda for the next day. But there are many more screens. Some interactive with suggested itineraries and others.

It is money well spent, believes the Dutch Mareja Knievel, even at a time when all the information is easily found in a mobile phone connected to the Internet.

Melchior Moreira, President of Tourism of Porto and North of Portugal agrees. He says the current and that perspetivam justify the investment.

The new Port Welcome Center is open from Friday. Only on Saturday 600 people were served directly and it is estimated that in 1200 used the interactive screens.
