Touchscreen Solutions for Tourism Information Center (TIC) Kelantan
Client: Pusat Penerangan Pelancongan Negeri Kelantan (TIC)
Overview
Touchscreen Monitor solutions are revolutionizing how businesses and public centers deliver information interactively.
Kelantan, located in the northeastern region of Peninsular Malaysia, is a state renowned for its deep-rooted heritage, colorful traditions, unique local crafts, and rich cultural identity. As a key destination for both domestic and international travelers, Kelantan continues to attract tourists eager to explore its heritage villages, historical landmarks, traditional cuisine, and vibrant festivals. To support and enrich the visitor experience, the Pusat Penerangan Pelancongan Negeri Kelantan, also known as the Tourist Information Center (TIC), plays a crucial role as the state’s tourism gateway.
Functioning as a central resource hub, TIC Kelantan provides tourists with essential information related to attractions, accommodation, cultural activities, and local crafts. The center also actively promotes Kelantan’s tourism assets and facilitates easier navigation and understanding of what the state has to offer. Recognizing the need to enhance service delivery and move towards digital transformation, TIC embarked on a project to modernize its information systems through the use of interactive technology.
Project Background
To elevate the efficiency and engagement of its services, TIC Kelantan launched a digital transformation initiative aimed at improving how information is disseminated to tourists. The project focused on the supply and commissioning of vertical touchscreen kiosks, which would allow visitors to access information in a more interactive, accessible, and visually appealing format.
As part of this forward-thinking approach, Arvia Solutions Sdn. Bhd. was appointed to design and deliver a complete digital solution that includes both hardware and software. The main goal was to offer a modern, user-centric system that supports TIC’s mission to be an innovative and informative tourism hub. With the new kiosks in place, tourists can now easily explore a wealth of tourism-related content including points of interest, events, cultural facts, dining spots, accommodations, and local arts—all through an engaging digital interface.
Scope of Work and Items Supplied
Under the scope of this project, Arvia Solutions supplied and commissioned two models of floor-standing touchscreen kiosks, each tailored for optimal usage within public spaces. The units deployed are:
-
FLR103 – 49-Inch Floor Standing Touch Kiosk
-
FLR100 – 43-Inch Floor Standing Touch Kiosk
These vertically designed kiosks were strategically installed within the TIC premises for high visibility and easy access by visitors of all ages. They are constructed with commercial-grade components to ensure durability and long-term reliability in high-traffic areas. Both units are powered by integrated digital signage software that provides the flexibility to manage, schedule, and display content remotely.
