Swain County tourists can now get information via the mobile site m.GreatSmokies.com using their smartphones.

“In 2011, 10 percent of our website visitors were using some sort of mobile device,” said Karen Wilmot, chamber director. “And that was a 300 percent increase over the previous year. The web is definitely going mobile and we are enthusiastically going with it.”

According to Wilmot, the mobile version contains virtually all the travel information found on the desktop version — lodging, dining, attractions, activities, shopping and visitor services, plus more.

Haywood County Chamber of Commerce also launched a mobile site this year.
