Funded by Madrid Destino SA, this app includes content, maps, and a joint ticket for the essential tour, which covers the Prado Museum, the Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum, and the Reina Sof\u00eda Museum. It has been updated with the latest technologies from the GVAM ecosystem to become the leading reference for tourism in Madrid.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"460\" data-end=\"777\">The update of the Essential Art Walk app, released in June, features a more attractive design and other improvements that optimize its functionality and security. With the implementation of new guidelines for iOS and Android platforms, the app ensures a reliable environment that meets the most stringent regulations.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-12420 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"528\" height=\"338\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2.png 4860w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2-700x448.png 700w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2-768x491.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2-1536x982.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2-2048x1310.png 2048w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Fachada-Velazquez-2-120x77.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 528px) 100vw, 528px\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-12424\" src=\"https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"285\" height=\"403\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final.png 1754w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final-700x990.png 700w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final-768x1086.png 768w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final-1086x1536.png 1086w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final-1448x2048.png 1448w, https:\/\/www.gvam.es\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/09\/Mock-up-final-120x170.png 120w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 285px) 100vw, 285px\" \/><\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"0\" data-end=\"351\">The new interface is more user-friendly and complies with the accessibility guidelines of the UNE 178508 standard. Additionally, it is compatible with the semantic ontology applied to tourism (UNE 178503), ensuring the interoperability of the app\u2019s content with other tourism platforms, both from the City of Madrid and Segittur at the national level.<\/p>\n<p class=\"\" data-start=\"353\" data-end=\"1311\">Finally, this app explores the tourism opportunities provided by packaged services like Citycards: These are tourism activity vouchers that are paid for once and combine multiple experiences into a single app. This digital transformation enables the integration of tourist routes from travel apps with payment and intelligent service recommendation features. The Essential Art Walk app is an excellent example of this transformation, as it offers a discounted ticket to the three major museums in Madrid while recommending other activities along the Prado tourist axis. These new Citycards, when carried on a mobile device, generate invaluable data on activities performed, seasonality, interests, mobility within the city, and sensitivity to other services. At the same time, they stimulate the economic activity of businesses participating in the CityCard, allowing consortia and destinations to effectively manage the tourist load and business operations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In 2017, GVAM launched the PAI app to provide users with an accessible and comprehensive guide to Madrid&#8217;s renowned Essential Art Walk.
