MXP introduces a new solution that fundamentally transforms how guests experience guided shore excursions. During a tour, the tour guide’s voice is directly transmitted to guests’ own smartphones – eliminating the need for rented audio hardware. In addition, real-time AI translation allows guests to experience the tour in their preferred language.
The solution is easy to implement and easy to use, since guests do not require mobile internet and do not need to install a separate app on their phone.
MXP eliminates the need for traditional audio equipment while delivering a modern, fully digital tour experience.
Tour guides can also manage tour participants through the separate MXP tour guide app, where they can see participants, their preferred language, any special requests, and meal requirements. Guests can post text messages/questions to the tour guide’s device.
