Potential for learning or transfer
The Web 2.0 revolution is being seen as a structural change in the communication model. In the past, the Internet was considered as a medium for information; today it is more and more a medium for social contacts. Information given by the internet are often the basis for decision-making in tourism services.
In 2011 the city Halberstadt started to develop a strategy for mobile services. In autumn 2011, for example, the first full city App in Saxony-Anhalt - the Halberstadt App – was ready.
Since then, it has been permanently developed further and, together with Social Media
Applications such as Facebook, Twitter and Instagram it became an indispensable marketing tool of the city of Halberstadt.
Since March 2014, the Halberstadt App (as the first in Saxony-Anhalt) has made it possible to book directly the overnight stays. Since 12 May of the same year it offers all important information for people with mobility impairments.
