Visit Rey and GuideGeek Partner on AI Tool for Tourism Boost
Visit Rye and GuideGeek, a custom conversational AI specialist for travel, have launched a new AI-powered visitor tool that offers an interactive way to explore the town’s connection to the creator of Captain Pugwash, John Ryan. The tool provides historical context, walking directions and storytelling prompts that help tourists navigate notable locations tied to the character’s origins. Organizers say the goal is to modernize the visitor experience while preserving the local heritage that continues to attract fans of the long-running British children’s series.
The project comes as tourism boards increasingly adopt AI assistants to personalize travel planning and on-site discovery. It's simple to use features through a simple QR scan, which allows visitors to 'chat' with Pugwash himself on WhatsApp. Restaurant recommendations, trip itineraries and any information regarding Rye needed can all be easily provided. The tool aims to position Rye as a technologically advanced town and is being scaled for future potential benefits.
