Share Your Local or Regional History With Our Mobile App.

Share your local or regional history using our searchable map based app.

 

If you are a heritage society or other organization, and a member of the Travel-ING ON Tourism Cooperative, we are offering your the opportunity to share the stories of your community's past on the searchable, map-based Travel-ING On Mobile app. Your organization must be a Lifetime Member to participate. The one time fee for Lifteime Membership is $25.

Use the versatile site listings to tell your community's story!

Create Walking or Driving Tours

    • Add historical sites of significance with their stories.

    • Create (and verify) a unique identifying keyword.

    • Add the keyword to your promotional literature, and on the text of each site.

    • When app users search this keyword a map of your chosen sites is produced.

  • Create Self-Guided Cemetery Tours

    • Create biographies and stories of the people who made a significant historical contribution to your region to their.

    • Add the stories to their grave site, using specific GPS coordinates.

    • When the app user visit the cemetery they can simply touch the 'Near Me' option on the app and access the story, photos or links that you have added.

  • Identify Buildings and Places of Significance.

    • As a traveller I have noticed old barns, churches, brick buildings and other structures that intereset me. Using the mobile app to tell the story of a building - when was it built - why was it built - what businesses or people used the building and other information tells the story of your community, and engages people as they shop local businesses and services.  ​

These are a few suggestions. The versatility of site listings and keywords allows your organization to share your story in a variety of ways.
