The Knoxville Tourism & Sports Corporation (KTSC) has unveiled a system of electronic kiosks that will give people information on restaurants, shops, tourist sites and other local attractions in Knoxville and Knox County, reports TMCnet.

Called TouchKnow&Go, the KTSC has four kiosks. They are similar to an electronic version of the concierge at a hotel or a mini version of the visitor centre, says KTSC president Gloria Ray.

"If I want to find out where a restaurant is, [it will] tell me about the restaurant and provide a map of how to get there. If you want to go shopping, we can direct you to shopping." The kiosks work by touching a screen, are ADA-compliant, and linked to an extensive database that will be regularly updated. An online version is available at www.touchknowandgo.com.
