Corfu Embraces Digital Future with New Tourism App
CORFU, May 7, 2026 – The official launch of the Discover Corfu Mobile App signifies a new chapter in the island’s tourism promotion and information management. Available for free on both iOS and Android platforms, this application emerges after the organization received international acclaim from the UK-based LUXlife Magazine, which recognized it as the “Best Destination Marketing Company 2026 – Greece”.
Global Expertise Meets Local Charm
The digital ecosystem of Discover Corfu, which already garners millions of views annually, is the brainchild of Co-founders Konstantinos Doukas, a native of Corfu, and his British associate, Daniel Weaver. Both founders bring extensive experience from leadership roles within the global tourism conglomerate TUI Group, applying their international expertise to Corfu. Their aim is to elevate the travel experience through a model that highlights the island’s authentic character and promotes responsible tourism.
Unveiling the ‘Hidden’ Corfu and Fostering Sustainability
The Discover Corfu App has been strategically designed to address contemporary tourism challenges. Utilizing advanced “Near-Me” GPS technology and an interactive map, the app encourages visitors to explore the Corfiot countryside, traditional villages, and scenic hiking trails. This approach is intended to distribute tourist flows more evenly across the entire island, thereby alleviating congestion in the historic Old Town and promoting a more sustainable tourism model.
A Digital Companion for Both Residents and Visitors
The Discover Corfu App offers a suite of tools designed to simplify daily life and enhance the visitor experience on the island:
- Mobility Information: A comprehensive guide to local public transportation, including Green & Blue Bus routes, and designated parking areas.
- Safety (SOS): Provides one-tap access to all crucial local emergency services, such as 112, Police, and Ambulance.
- Cultural Integration: Features a built-in guide of basic Greek phrases to facilitate better communication and interaction with the local community.
- Personalized Planning: Allows users to save their favorite locations and attractions, enabling them to curate their own bespoke island itinerary.
“The Discover Corfu App is our significant contribution to responsible tourism,” stated the Co-founders. “We are providing a high-quality tool that effectively showcases the authentic essence of Corfu, streamlines movement across the island, and ensures visitor safety, all while supporting the local economy.”
The project operates under the licensed enterprise “Discover Corfu (e-service)” and is now accessible to everyone at no cost.
