Four area tourism an economic development groups launched this month a new travel planning app for visitors to the Adirondack Region of Northern New York. The Discover the Adirondack Park app is now available for free on iTunes and on Android, providing tailored travel information for first-time and repeat visitors.<\/p>\n

It is the result of efforts by the Adirondack Association of Towns and Villages (AATV), Center for Economic Growth (CEG), Central Adirondack Partnership for the 21st Century (CAP-21), and Adirondack Regional Tourism Council (ARTC).<\/p>\n

While adventuring through the Adirondacks, travelers can use the app even if data and Wi-Fi are unavailable to find recreation, lodging, dining, and other information near their current location, officials said.
\nThe app allows users who are planning their trip, and those who are already in the Adirondacks, to find relevant travel information based on their needs and geographic location via two filters: “I am Here” and “I am Planning.” Both filters provide specific travel information personalized to the user’s needs via categories such as: winter recreation; rock and ice climbing routes, hiking trails and resources, shopping locations, events and attractions.<\/p>\n

According to the CEG, Discover the Adirondacks is compatible with iOS and Android, and serves as an innovative and convenient resource for travelers accessing data from their tablets and smartphones. The Adirondack Park’s diverse recreational opportunities draw many to the region, and the app will help travelers to access these, as well as local places to visit, eat and sleep, officials said.<\/p>\n

Funding for the project was provided by a Regional Economic Development Council “Market NY” grant from Empire State Development, the state’s chief economic development agency, as well as from the Center for Economic Growth.<\/p>\n

Download the Discover the Adirondacks app from iTunes and access the Adirondack Trip Planning Web Portal at VisitAdirondacks.com\/recreation or VisitAdirondacks.com, “Discover Recreation.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
