Abstract
Development of modern technologies provides new options and enhancements in the way of tourists’ involvements and experiences. By integration of various non-traditional technical means, deeper interactivity between the city and its visitors can be reached. Through this paper, the special guidance system for tourists based on the usage of smartphones will be introduced. The system utilizes special NFC sensory to guide tourist across all important sightseeing objects. The system is applied as a geocaching game, where all participants are motivated to reach all tasks as fast as possible, step-by-step visiting and investigating all objects on which the city tourism lies.
Key words
