Destination Läckö-Kinnekulle – tours for everyone

Destination Läckö-Kinnekulle is in Skaraborg, a region in western Sweden between the country's two largest lakes, Vänern and Vättern. The area is full of beautiful nature, especially for those who like to cycle, hike or paddle, and the destination wanted an app that let visitors explore the landscape on foot, by bike, by car – and even by kayak!

Challenge

Destination Läckö-Kinnekulle had long been thinking about an app that could offer extra value for visitors to the area. Based on its own market research, it knew which features it was looking for, and chose OnSpotStory.

They wanted to be able to add more tours to the app over time and offer something for walkers as well as for people travelling by car. They also liked the simple, functional design of OnSpotStory's apps, and wanted an in-app events calendar synced with their website's calendar.

Solution

Since Destination Läckö-Kinnekulle knew what they wanted from the start, the app was up and running quickly, and a first version was released within a few weeks – just in time for the summer season. They then added content as they went along, including the "wreck safari", a kayak tour where you learn about the many abandoned and protected shipwrecks in the area.

The events calendar is a great way to tell visitors what's happening in the area. OnSpotStory built a feature that regularly updates the in-app calendar from the destination's own API – smooth and seamless.

We've had a lot of positive feedback from guests who like being able to choose activities when and where it suits them.
