plazy.travel makes it easy to discover the FrankfurtRhineMain destination

The application selects sights and restaurants in Frankfurt, Offenbach, Hanau, Darmstadt, Aschaffenburg and the districts of Offenbach, Groß-Gerau, Main-Taunus and Wetterau from over 200 recommendations according to personal interests and preferences and puts together the right program in a matter of seconds. The application is free to use and does not need to be downloaded - plazy.travel simply works in the browser. plazy.travel was created in collaboration with Destination FrankfurtRheinMain and the start-up plazy. The carefully researched texts by the editorial team led by journalists Kathrin Sander and Inka Schmeling and the appealing images by David Vasicek and Isabela Pacini make you want to discover the destination.

"plazy makes it really easy to discover the region's highlights," says Thomas Feda, Managing Director of Tourismus + Congress GmbH Frankfurt am Main, who visited Offenbach's Klingspor Museum with his team at the beginning of November. There, Kathrin Sander and Inka Schmeling presented plazy.travel to the destination partners, the press and representatives of several service providers. The Leather Museum, Markthaus am Wilhelmsplatz and Wetterpark, for example, accepted the invitation.

Incidentally, the city of Frankfurt has long been represented as a travel destination on plazy.travel, where the Brückenviertel on Sachsenhäuser Ufer leads the ranking. "That was surprising for us," says Feda, "because the Römer or the new old town always dominate. But because the web app plays out themes differently, it's not surprising when people look off the beaten tourist track and get to know other places."

This is exactly what the team behind plazy.travel is all about, explains Sander. Like her travel colleague Schmeling, she is always curious to see what else there is to discover beyond the classic highlights when she is on the road. To make planning easier, the team has developed plazy.travel, which stands for "lazy planning".

The team demonstrated how individually the plazy.travel travel guides are curated using three specific examples. Thomas (51), Wibke (45) and Lilly (19) all enjoy traveling, but with different goals and needs: Thomas, a software expert, is married with two children and wants to be active outdoors with his family. His bucket list includes a trip to the Michelnau quarry, a foothill of the Vogelsberg volcano, followed by a stop at the Auenlandhof in Ranstadt. Wibke, a department head from Frankfurt with an interest in culture, is looking for a little time out in her private life and finds what she is looking for in Aschaffenburg: The Pompejanum transports her to Italy and on the way back, the Brothers Grimm Festival in Hanau beckons. Student Lilly is in the mood for shopping, cafés and relaxed sightseeing - and gets tips for a trip to Offenbach on plazy.travel: most of the city's sights are centrally located and cosmopolitan people will find numerous culinary offerings and cozy cafés.

Anyone using plazy.travel answers four questions and the personal guide with at least seven tips is then displayed within seconds. The average time spent using the web app is four minutes, which is extremely high for a digital tool, reports Schmeling, as the application also invites users to browse and easily expand their own list of tips.

Dr. Dorothee Ader, Director of the Klingspor Museum, likes the multilingual and barrier-free plazy.travel, she says: "We are a very international museum and we are naturally delighted when there are more visitors from the region." And: "Everyone benefits from the bundling of activities, in this case especially guests who quickly have a program tailored to their personal interests."
