About The Customer
The customer in this case study is the Generalitat Valenciana, the government of the autonomous region of Valencia, Spain. The Generalitat Valenciana was established in 1418, abolished in 1709, and re-established in 1982, after the corresponding Valencian Statute of Autonomy was approved. The region is a popular tourist destination, particularly known for its beaches. The government was seeking a solution to manage the beach capacity effectively during the de-escalation phase to ensure the safety of the visitors.
The Challenge
The Valencia region in Spain, a popular destination for both local and international tourists, is home to over 340 beaches. During the de-escalation phase, the region was receiving a high number of visitors. The Generalitat Valenciana, the government of the autonomous region of Valencia, identified a challenge in managing the beach capacity to ensure the safety of the visitors. They needed a tool that could provide real-time information about the beach capacity to the visitors. The tool needed to be mobile-friendly as most visitors would likely access the information on their mobile devices.
The Solution
To address the challenge, a web application named “Zonas de Bany CV” was developed. This tool geolocates the 340 beaches on the coast of the Valencian Community, as well as inland bathing areas. It provides relevant and up-to-date information enabling visitors to safely enjoy and discover new areas. The tool was developed using the CARTO platform, which allowed for rapid development and deployment. The development of the tool was a collaborative effort between Play&go, dotGIS, and CARTO. The tool was released in record time, thanks to the ease of development of the CARTO platform.
Operational Impact
  • The operational result of the implementation of the “Zonas de Bany CV” tool was the ability to provide real-time information about the beach capacity to the visitors. This allowed the visitors to plan their visits accordingly and ensured their safety. The tool also helped in discovering new areas, thereby promoting tourism in less crowded areas. The tool was developed and deployed in record time, demonstrating the efficiency of the CARTO platform and the effectiveness of the collaboration between Play&go, dotGIS, and CARTO.
