COUNCIL has officially launched four digital wayfinding signs in Ararat, helping visitors find their way around town and further promote the region\u2019s unique attractions.<\/p>\n
Ararat Mayor Jo Armstrong said the digital signage investment is part of a larger plan to position Ararat as a strong and attractive tourism destination.<\/p>\n
\u201cCouncil has been actively delivering initiatives that showcase the very best of our region, including newly installed digital signage across Ararat,\u201d Cr Armstrong said.<\/p>\n
The four wayfinding digital displays can be found in Barkly Street, the Alexandra Gardens, outside the Visitor Information Centre\/Gallery and near the Pyrenees Highway\/Alexandra Corridor link.<\/p>\n
They will give tourists and locals access to regional information 24 hours a day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe want to ensure visitors are directly engaged when they arrive, from speaking with one of our friendly Visitor Information staff to browsing the new wayfinding signs, which gives them the very best experiences our region has to offer,\u201d Cr Armstrong said.<\/p>\n
\u201cVisitors and residents alike can benefit from using the kiosks to find an attraction or find what events are coming up in Ararat. There will be a range of points of interest, accommodation and food and wine listings and upcoming events,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese displays are designed to meet the ever-growing demands of today\u2019s visitors, with interactive and real-time software.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are confident the outdoor wayfinding kiosks will unlock additional opportunities to showcase the latest tourism offerings, further enhancing the visitor experience while supporting local businesses,\u201d Cr Armstrong said.<\/p>\n
The digital wayfinding project was jointly funded by the Victorian Government\u2019s Community Safety Infrastructure Grants program as part of the Alexandra Gardens Linkage Project and Ararat Rural City Council.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
