CINIVA Systems Puts the Outer Banks in the Palm of Your Hand
Customized Mobile Friendly Design Allows Visitors to Search Currituck County on the Android and iPhone 

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

VIRGINIA BEACH – With summer fast approaching and thousands of tourists planning vacations along the Atlantic Coast, the Currituck County Department of Travel and Tourism wanted to supplement their successful social media marketing efforts in order to raise awareness of affordable vacation rentals and their miles of unspoiled beach. Having recently undergone a Web site redesign through noted Hampton Roads Web development firm CINIVA Systems, they inquired about the possibility of expanding their reach. CINIVA, equally serious about promotion of area tourism, devised a mobile-friendly version of Currituck County’s official site, which allows Android and iPhone / iTouch users to easily navigate information on Outer Banks lodging, dining, and activities.

“Mobile Internet is the future, and with our ability to bring clients to phone users seeking an easy to browse platform we can broaden their exposure and conversions,” said Steve Van Leeuwen, President of CINIVA Systems. “For tourism and travel organizations, it’s absolutely necessary now to offer a mobile option that displays your information. The more people move around, consulting their mobile browsers, the greater risk they’ll drive through your town without stopping if they can’t find your business.”

The mobile version of Currituck County’s Web site (www.VisitCurrituck.com), offers browsers a searchable database of area vacation rentals and accommodations, restaurants, shops, and an events calendar for the Outer Banks. Van Leeuwen said they integrated the theme and colors of Currituck’s present site into the Web application to provide an aesthetic interface that matches the light, upbeat atmosphere of the coastal North Carolina destination. Mobile users have the option, too, of signing on to follow Currituck’s official Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts for additional, real-time updates of regional happenings.

“The Currituck mobile site is designed for anybody interested in visiting the Outer Banks, and for locals wanting to keep up neighborhood events,” said Van Leeuwen. “We are excited to bring Currituck into this new age of tourism marketing, and plan to offer similar services to our clientele.”
