Speaker: Winston Reinboth
Topic: The Future of Travel - Way-finding, Self-drive, Self-guided Exploration and Story Telling
Date: October 2024
Today, we find ourselves at the forefront of a technological revolution that is significantly altering the way we travel and explore our world. Innovations in way-finding, self-drive, self-guided travel, and storytelling are transforming the future of tourism. With over 40 years in Tourism and Hospitality, and now retired, Winston Reinboth is starting a new digital venture. He has enjoyed taking trips on the open road since childhood and is now encouraging Aussies to explore the country on four wheels and provide a much-needed boost to the regions. The NSW resident is the driving force behind Go Drivin - a new free app which offers a range of mapped, curated road trips to travellers, encouraging them to venture off the beaten track for a taste of the real Australia. Go Drivin encourages travellers to not only stop by towns that are bypassed by the country's major highways, but to really explore them. The app currently features 30 fully mapped routes in NSW. Each road trip begins with a personalised introduction to each destination. Other features of each trip include audio commentary to fully immerse the driver in the experience, turn by turn navigation, and the ability to customise each trip, with drivers able to choose from a wide range of points of interest to include in their itinerary.
The app is totally free to download. For Winston, it is a passion project but he also aims to provide a shot in the arm to Aussie towns that are in desperate need of a tourism boost. The app is still in development, and Winston is encouraging Aussies to download it, try out the maps and share their feedback. He is also interested in hearing from any community groups or organisations in NSW who would be interested in hearing a talk about the app.
The app is available for download via Google play. For more information visit www.godrivin.com.au or email info@godrivin.com.au.
