travelmole.com: "Visitors to Glasgow are being offered the chance to take an interactive tour of the citys cultural highlights downloaded on to their iPods. What is being promoted as the worlds first iTour can be downloaded for free and includes a mix of trivia, tourist information and music.
The concept was dreamed up by American /Scottish Samantha Chapnick, who is based in New York. She reportedly told the Sunday Herald: When I was in Scotland as a tourist it took me a long time to see Glasgow as a place that had something amazing to offer. Tourists think Edinburgh: the castle. Glasgow: what is there? and I wanted the iTour to show off what a great place it is.
The MacWorld website quotes Glasgow City Marketing Bureau chief executive Scott Taylor as saying: The music scene in Glasgow is the best in Britain and this iTour describes it by those best placed to know music enthusiasts, music promoters and the bands themselves. It is a vivid portrayal of a stylish, vibrant and creative city and I am sure it will persuade more people to visit.
