Map-N-Tour Provides Custom Tour App for Michigan Cares for Tourism Event

MIDLAND, Mich. - June 8, 2015 - PRLog -- Map-N-Tour, a Michigan-based virtual tour and experience platform, was pleased to support the 2015 Michigan Cares for Tourism event with the development of a custom virtual tour app.

“Michigan Cares for Tourism is a bi-annual event, designed to bring together people and organizations in support of our state’s important tourism industry,” said Denny Henson, CEO of Map-N-Tour. “Over the course of two days, volunteers worked to clean up and restore Sturgeon Point Lighthouse, a historic state attraction.”

Over the course of two days, volunteers completed $30,000 in clean up and repair labor, and secured another $30,000 in materials and supplies. “During the bi-annual event, volunteers need to work and travel between sites. The Map-N-Tour app allowed them to experience and understand the communities they would be working in before arriving. Once on location, it provided them with key route and site details, via media rich content including photos, video, audio and embedded site links.”

The next Michigan Cares for Tourism event is scheduled for October 4 – 6, 2015. For more details, visit gvsu.edu/michigancaresfortourism (http://www.gvsu.edu/michigancaresfortourism). For more information about Map-N-Tour’s custom virtual tour platform, visit mapntour.com (http://www.mapntour.com/).
