FoxyTour City
Everyone's personal town
FoxyTour City is a participatory urban guide, based on the creation of virtual tags (digital labels). Whether you are a tourist or a resident in a town equipped with the FoxyTour City application, your smartphone will place you in an environment based on your areas of interest and on your interactions with the application.
With FoxyTour City, the user receives suggestions for activities (restaurants, shows, tourist visits, etc.) that match his/her tastes and preferences as closely as possible.
