Turisme de Barcelona and the Barcelona City Council, in partnership with the technology provider EureCat, recently presented a new app, called Check Barcelona, that aims to prevent congestion at different tourist sites and offer alternatives for visitors.

It consists of a guide to the city and its environs, with information in real time about how busy the different sites - including public spaces, beaches, car parks and other places of interest - are, and their availability.

In a Covid-19 setting, in which visitors have become increasingly aware of safety measures, Check Barcelona allows people to manage their visits at times when attractions are less busy, thus enabling them to increase safety and improve the visitor experience at the same time.

The aim of this new, free app is to provide visitors with a tool that will allow them to check, in real time, how busy different sites are and to manage their booking following the safety protocols and established visitor numbers that are in place. This means that by optimising the visit we increase the degree of customer satisfaction and improve the running of tourist sites and attractions that usually have high visitor numbers. Updated information about the safety protocols, mobility and other aspects also contributes to the safety of the visit.

This is the first app available in Europe that includes different repositories to manage visitor flows. The tool has been created in collaboration with Tech City, the Fundació Mobile and the Barcelona Chamber of Commerce, and designed to enhance the quality of the visitor offer and experience.

The optimisation of the visit is a challenge that promotional organisations must manage by offering visitors information, products and services that will save time and money while contributing to the sustainability of the visit.

Check Barcelona is compatible with all mobile and desktop platforms and shows all available sites and attractions with
