Safety and information systems for ski resorts in emerging markets

The Mountain Rescue Team Management (MRTM) is improving the accuracy and speed of rescue missions in mountains. It is also enabling coordination of several components of existing rescue systems – fire brigades, police, helicopter rescue, emergency and where needed also military. Reliability, simplicity and a well integrated set of features, based on detailed knowledge of user requirements and needs, save lives, time and resources in central European mountains. The Infotainment platform (ITP) is a new digital communication channel that mountain resorts use to provide a personalised and location specific service and information to resort and mountain guests. In combination with non-intrusive marketing communication, ITP is a unique tool that helps end users like skiers, snowboarders, bikers, hikers and other mountain visitors to enjoy their stay in the mountains and not to miss any of the great places or offers on site. For resort operators it creates an additional source of information and revenue stream.
