West Country Welcomes MyLocalGuru Tourism Boost

ST IVES, U.K. - June 19, 2015 - PRLog -- MyLocalGuru, the husband and wife start-up business, created to promote local tourism and keep it local, has just released a new version for use across more than 30 West Country towns and cities.

Their ground-breaking approach means that all towns in the region can share one App, which rebrands to that of the location of the visitor, wherever they may be.

“If you are visiting St Ives for example, the App automatically rebrands itself as a St Ives App and searches the Internet for local information,” explained Director Ian Birchall speaking from his home in Nantwich, Cheshire

“Unlike many apps that only have a limited number of paid-for entries for attractions and restaurants, MyLocalGuru is a rich comprehensive source of local knowledge. Of course it has the usual lists of attractions, local restaurants, pubs and hotels but it adds hygiene ratings, local crime statistics, directions and even views from the street.

“It doesn’t stop there as it can help to find a parking space, a bus stop, a train station and even when the next bus or train is due. Need to find a live music or local event? Well of course it has them too!”

“MyLocalGuru has even gone further with some towns and added everything from where the public toilets are, to Wi-Fi hotspots and ATMs,” added Mr Birchall’s wife and business partner Amanda. “We’ve chosen the West Country for this project because it was our family’s favourite holiday destination for many years.

“And we are sure access to MyLocalGuru will help visitors to this most beautiful part of Britain enjoy the scenery, history and warmth of the people of the West Country as well as boosting tourism to the region.”

The team at MyLocalGuru is now looking for local groups to partner with to help drive tourism and buy local. So if you are a BID team, a tourism officer or local retailers group, you can help customise the App for your area for free and even send out community messages.
