Starting today, Gray Line Australia is toppling foreign language barriers by introducing advanced GPS audio tour systems (TriggerPOINT) by AudioConexus on its Great Ocean Road Tours in Melbourne, Victoria. As part of the first phase of the project, Gray Line Australia, utilizing satellite (GPS) technology, is telling compelling stories to connect foreign language visitors to the people, places and events that have shaped Australia’s unique history and modern culture. Providing fun, entertaining, and educational audio tours on its motor coaches, passengers using small wireless receivers and headsets are provided with more meaningful and memorable visitor experiences.
