Toerisme Limburg

An initiative of Toerisme Limburg, the tourism sector organisation of Limburg, Belgium, the Kennislabo website aims to collect and distribute information & data about Limburg's tourism infrastructure. How many rooms were booked during a certain period of a certain year? What kind of accomodation do tourists prefer in spring or summer? What places do they like to visit? The Kennislabo website is able to collect this kind of information quickly and in a simple & user friendly way. And to feed relevant information back to the people working in Limburg's tourism industry.

Before the launch of the Kennislabo site, hundreds of hotel & camping owners and other people active in tourism in Limburg had to provide all of this info manually, on paper. It was a hassle to collect all necessary data and to communicate it to parties who needed to be informed, e.g. local & national governments. Moreover, people working in the tourism industry didn't have a clear overview on all available information.

The Kennislabo website allows everything to happen on line. Information is entered on one central website and passed (mostly) automatically to relevant parties. In return for providing information, tourism workers get access to relevant information really quickly. For example, a hotel owner might want to know if the road leading to his hotel will be closed for roadworks. That way, the Kennislabo becomes a real tool for collecting & exhanging information.
