Using the example of Hurghada App Managing Director of hubermedia GmbH Stefan Huber, demonstrated how such information can be used within an app technologically up to date.

Interactive maps, route planning, events, augmented reality etc. are some of the many applications.

The special feature of SOS function has been moved into the foreground. By jerky shaking of the smartphone a emergency call is placed with exact GPS location information to the local tourist police. Thus, the safety of tourists during their holidays can be greatly improved.

The Egyptian Tourism Minister Hisham Zazou was very interested in this technology and can very well imagine an implementation in Egypt.

The Egyptian media also showed interest in this project and interviewed Stefan Huber. Watch the interview by clicking on the image:
