When you work in the travel industry you are constantly thinking about new ways to create new and more immersive experiences for your customers. We at Iceland Travel took a close look at how we could do this for our road trips (or self drive trips). We decided upon creating an innovative Iceland road trip app for our customers. It it is exclusive to customers who book one of our 38 road trips. The app shows in the customer´s trip, hotels she stays on and about 2,500 of points of interest. We source the points from our web site or from the Icelandic Tourist Board.
Find the must see places in Iceland in the Iceland Road Trip App
The application is included in a tablet we give to our customer at the start of each road trip. By using it is easy to discover the important places to experience on each journey. The most popular tours are Ring Road Highlights, Around Iceland and Golden Circle Self Drive.

Day-by-day plans for the four drives most people take, each on an interactive map with where to sleep, fuel stops, waterfalls and reader discounts along the way. Built for a relaxed pace, not a race.
