The Travel-ING ON Tourism Cooperative gives businesses and organizations in the travel and heritage industries the opportunity to market their services together using an innovative mobile app. The Travel-ING On app, previously known as History Check, will provide comprehensive information in an easy-to-use format, eliminating the need for multiple online searches. Users will be able to find tourist attractions and travel services, and learn the history and stories of a community or region within Alberta — with hopes of expanding to other provinces. The app will allow users to create a map of specific products or services and create themed tours, see what is available around them, and select the offerings of a specific area. The app includes 600 communities in Alberta and can expand across the country.

Membership is open to any individual, business, or entity in the heritage and tourism industries.  The co-operative offers cost-effective marketing to its members, and a portion of each fee goes into member and project assistance funds.

“The co-operative business structure gives a multitude of opportunties for a variety of sectors to work together,” a representative of the co-op said. “As members, each business or organization owns the business. They can participate in the democratic process and give voice to what they would like in future growth and development of the business and its marketing tools.”
