TOMI at BTL for the fifth year

TOMI took part at the Lisbon Travel Market (BTL) that was held in Lisbon from 15th to 19th of March. This was the fifth year in a row that TOMI marked its place at this event.
In this edition, TOMI helped to promote municipalities that represent 50% of the Portuguese territory. At both of the stands of Turismo Porto e Norte de Portugal (entity that promotes tourism in the north region of Portugal) and from Turismo Centro de Portugal (entity that promotes tourism in the centre region of Portugal), TOMI allowed visitors to interact with the device, providing an experience just like if they were in those specific regions in that moment.
TOMI also was present at the stand of Viseu, the first city invited to the BTL, an innovation introduced this year. TOMI displayed information regarding the city in one of its sides, and the other side was customised with an interactive platform where visitors could explore the “Cava of Viriato”. The city of Viseu presented the “Official Year to Visit Viseu” program 2017, which counts on eight ambassadors to promote it. TOMI is one of them, as the technological ambassador, and the only non-human ambassador of this initiative that aims to bring more tourists to Viseu.
During the five days of the event, the TOMI devices installed at the BTL registered over 7 thousand interactions, and TOMI WORLD is grateful to all visitors for that. In each stand, several personalities and entities like municipalities, the Government, business partners and famous artists interacted with TOMI. Among them was the President of the Portuguese Republic, Prof. Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa, that took the opportunity to try TOMI’s new feature within the Photo module: the TOMI GIF.
