New Digital Service Enhances FlixBus Trips
With the help of the excursor platform, from December 2018, Flixbus passengers can scan real-time information on availability and prices with a description of the excursions, and very easy, in just a few clicks, by scanning a QR code (Quick Response), plan and book a visit to different excursion destinations, all during their bus drive.
“We live fast and often we cannot accomplish all that we have in mind, including a good and quality holiday preparation. Having in mind all the unused time while driving in a bus, we have established a cooperation with FlixBus and decided to maximize the time potential of a foreign tourist traveling in Croatia. Excursor is a fantastic tool for communication and organization of tourist offers and has a tremendous potential for digitalization of tourism,” said Mladen Gregović, member of the Board and Chief Operating Officer in Combis, adding that the common denominator of this partnership is mutual desire for innovation.
The service is provided on a number of targeted routes, such as bus lines from Austrian, German and Italian cities to Zagreb, in order to make the most efficient offer of excursions in Croatia.
“FlixBus is focused on business innovation. From the very beginning, we have had a combination of technological start-ups, online buying, and transportation companies, and this is our success formula. The potential of providing new services in such a simple way, as this, with excursor, offers a new and innovative experience to the satisfaction of our customers, which is our top priority”, said Dean Čebohin, Business Development Director for FlixBus CEE South.
The excursor platform is intended for everyone who wants to offer tours and activities and other extra services – tour organizers, tourist agencies, hotels, and other resellers of tours and activities. The platform allows an express reservation, in just a few clicks, excluding orders processed via e-mail and phone, thereby eliminating missed reservation opportunities. Also, excursor enables communication and tour sales in real time, excluding the possibility of overbooking. Flixbus Europe
