Hilton Worldwide on Monday
launched a free application for Hilton HHonors members that uses GPS
and WiFi to offer customized notifications for on-site amenities and events.
Billed as a “personal travel
guide,” Hilton’s “Fun Finder” takes information from guests’
pre-arrival survey in order to track preferences. The app then tracks
guests’ hotel arrival and sends them information on events and
amenities such as local walking tours, on-site drink specials and a schedule of
the day’s children’s activities.
The app debuted at Hilton Hawaiian
Village Waikiki Beach and and the Hilton Anatole in Dallas, and will be rolled out
to other Hilton resorts soon, Hilton said.
