The Chicago Office of Tourism launched its presence on Foursquare, a location-based social networking application for mobile phones.
The tourism bureau is using the app to promote citywide neighborhoods, restaurants and attractions. While following Explore Chicago at www.foursquare.com/explorechicago, visitors can check in at more than 60 eligible citywide locations to earn up to three Chicago-themed game “badges,” all celebrating Chicago traditions.
Foursquare is free to download and is accessible on smart phones and other Internet-connected mobile devices. For more information, call 312.201.8847 or visit www.explorechicago.org.
