Real Travel®: Puerto Varas's mobile application, is positioned in Central America through agreements with Costa Rica and Belize.

This is the app that, through geolocation, allows travelers to search, find and experience tourist destinations through local people and their stories.

Originally from Puerto Varas, a city in the tenth region of Chile, Real Travel® is positioned in Central America through the signing of two agreements: Costa Rica and Belize. This is a technology-based Start Up that performs the function of a Virtual Tourist Information Office 24/7 365 days a year, through a mobile tourism platform that serves as a tool for promoting and managing destinations. Through their own mobile phone, visitors can access a multimedia guide to any destination, in a quick, easy and accessible way.

On May 22, the National Chamber of Tourism of Costa Rica (CANATUR) and Real Travel, the innovative travel application of Chilean origin that arrived from Costa Rica about two years ago, signed a strategic collaboration agreement to promote the development of technological solutions in the tourism industry of Costa Rica, a country recognized internationally for its leadership in sustainable and inclusive tourism.

The purpose of this public-private alliance is to strengthen innovation and technological sustainability in the sector, through the identification and execution of joint tourism digitization projects, aimed at tourism companies, local destinations, entrepreneurs and regional authorities.

Shirley Calvo, Executive Director of CANATUR, said that “Through this agreement, we seek to generate impactful technology that benefits the entire tourism ecosystem of the country, improving competitiveness, the visitor experience and the digital inclusion of local actors.”

Meanwhile, in Belize, the Association of Protected Area Management Organizations (APAMO) and the technology company Real Travel® signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the objective of promoting tourism and educational digitization processes in Belize's parks and protected areas, aligned with a policy Paperless, which seeks to minimize the ecological impact of the use of paper in the conservation sector.

The purpose of the alliance is to strengthen the responsible management and visibility of the country's protected areas, through innovative technological tools that make it possible to offer visitors multimedia content, maps, recommendations and local narratives from their own mobile devices, without resorting to printed materials.

“This agreement is a commitment to intelligent conservation. We want to show that it is possible to protect and educate without polluting, using cutting-edge technology to bring information to visitors without the need for brochures, maps or printed guides,” said Jose Pérez, Executive Director of APAMO.
