LIHU’E – The County of Kaua‘i announced the launch of the Kaua‘i Festivals Mobile website Monday.
“With a growing number of people that use their mobile devices to do research while on vacation, we thought it makes perfect sense to utilize this technological tool and make it easier for our ‘on-island’ visitors to find festivals, events and things to do on Kaua‘i,” says George Costa, director of the Office of Economic Development, in a release.
Currently, 26 percent of those who access the Kaua‘i Festivals website do so with a mobile device, which represents a 200 percent increase compared to last year.
“The Kaua‘i Visitors Bureau has made an effort to tie in Kaua‘i festivals and events into our marketing plan, and welcomes this new tool to reach our visitors on their mobile devices,” says Sue Kanoho, KVB executive director, in the release.
Visitors who go to the Kaua‘i Festivals website with a mobile device are redirected to the mobile-optimized version, which includes a scrolling list of current events that is organized by month, and the current month automatically loads into the user’s browser window.
The Kaua‘i Festivals Mobile website is compatible with mobile tablets, Android cell phones and iPhones.
