Francisco Garcia, head of Hermosillo's tourism office, announces a new tourism app, Qroads.

Tourists visiting Hermosillo will now have a new way to find interesting attractions in the Sonoran capital — a phone app.

The city of Hermosillo has announced a new partnership with Qroads, a phone application that helps users find interesting historic sites, tourist attractions and businesses.

Hermosillo is the first of eight Mexican cities on the platform — with 50 beacons, including well-known eateries, museums, plazas and other important local sites.

Fransisco Garcia, head of Hermosillo’s tourism office, said it’s an innovative project that will help tourists better enjoy their time in the city, and supports city leaders’ efforts to draw in more visitors.

He added that as one of the cities in Mexico with the highest rates of internet connectivity, Hermosillo is an ideal location to incorporate new innovations.
