Inform in time!

"I didn't know about the blockade" and "Now I have no alternative" are common arguments used by hikers and mountain bikers when they find themselves caught between felled tree trunks, a cable crane and other heavy forestry workers' equipment. In order to refute these statements, measures have already been taken to supplement the official restricted area board. In fact, the yellow restricted area board only has to be set up about 70 m in front of the danger area or work surface, which is too late for people seeking recreation. Particularly in the case of forest paths used by many nature sports enthusiasts, it is advisable to set up an information board at the starting point, which provides timely information about the location, reason, duration and possibilities for avoiding the danger.

No more excuses!

Digital barrier management goes one step further and makes information about (forest) roadblocks available when planning a route - i.e. before the nature sports enthusiasts arrive at the starting point. This is important, because once you are on site, it is easy to (un)intentionally overlook potential dangers - this is also referred to as "ballistic behaviour". Once you have set yourself a tour goal, this plan is implemented - no matter what!

Making up-to-date information about the condition or availability of tourist infrastructure available to the general public in high quality is the central theme of effective visitor management in our digitalised world.
