Providing Peace of Mind for Group Tours and Events by Preventing People from Getting Lost

Background and Challenges

Getting lost of children and the elderly is a serious problem at travel and event sites. Particularly on tours involving frequent group travel, it is difficult to constantly monitor the movements of all participants. However, a rapid response is required in the event of an incident. Against this backdrop, strengthening safety management has become an important theme for group tours and event operations.

For travel companies operating overseas and domestic tours, guides and tour conductors face a heavy burden when accompanying groups on school trips, family trips, and similar tours. In addition, the risks associated with response when someone becomes lost cannot be ignored. People may also become lost at large leisure facilities when they are in unfamiliar surroundings. In particular, when children or elderly people who do not have smartphones, or the growing number of inbound group tourists, become separated from their companions, it can take time to contact them and reunite them with the group.

Solution

NEXTY LocaTrack, a location positioning solution, contributes to safety management by visualizing location information captured by small devices that participants simply carry with them. On a dashboard, it helps administrators quickly identify when someone becomes lost and respond rapidly.

  • Continuous Location Monitoring
    Continuously monitor the location of travelers on a map displayed on the dashboard. This makes search and reunion procedures more efficient after someone becomes lost and reduces the response burden.
  • Easy Operation with Small Devices
    The devices are small and require no operation, so participants can simply place them in a bag or card holder and carry them wherever they go.
