Eureka Springs becomes first city in the nation
to offer electronic ticket sales through the digital marketplace,
YourPassNow
Visitors planning a trip to historic Eureka Springs can now buy
tram tour tickets through YourPassNow.com, a digital marketplace
that makes it easy and convenient for visitors to purchase
electronic passes, permits, and tickets to public lands online.
Eureka Springs is the first city in the nation to join a growing
list of U.S. public lands that offer digital access through
YourPassNow.
The City of Eureka Springs partnered with the Information
Network of Arkansas (INA)—the state’s official provider of digital
government services—to offer travelers convenient, secure
electronic tickets to the city’s Historic Tram Tours. Once
purchased, tickets can be downloaded or stored to an electronic
wallet for immediate and future use. They are also emailed for
those that want to print their pass or permit. City officials
simply scan the electronic or printed tickets before boarding the
tram.
“We want to simplify the planning process for visitors to our
beautiful city,” said Eureka Springs Transit Director Ken “Smitty”
Smith. “With just a few taps on their smartphone, visitors can buy
tram tour tickets right from the comfort of their own home. This
saves time, helps avoid overcrowding, and gives our guests a better
travel experience.”
Developed in cooperation with the National Park Service,
YourPassNow provides an alternative to the traditional paper-based,
in-person purchase method while simultaneously providing public
lands with a tool to help manage the visitor experience.
Eureka Springs joins the following public lands currently
providing digital access through YourPassNow: Acadia, Everglades,
Grand Canyon, Theodore Roosevelt, Sequoia and Kings Canyon,
Yellowstone, and Yosemite National Parks; Castillo de San Marcos
and Colorado National Monuments; Whiskeytown National Recreation
Area; Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area; Wayne National
Forest; and the Bureau of Land Management’s Lake Havasu Field
Office.
