Professional solutions for your tourism application or platform!
The tourism industry is extremely diverse and offers a wide range of services. MetGIS provides a comprehensive range of weather data and services to provide you with the right solution. Below are some applications in which MetGIS products can support the tourism industry:
WEATHER IN WEBSITES, APPS AND INFOSCREENS
WEATHER AT A GLANCE
Our weather APIs are designed to seamlessly integrate high-quality weather data into a variety of platforms and services, including websites, mobile applications, and information displays found in tourist information offices, accommodation providers, tourist attractions and other tourism-related services. In addition to numerical data, we offer ready-to-use, interactive solutions that combine forecast maps with weather reports for any location and map point.
GUIDING VISITOR FLOW
WEATHER SOLUTIONS FOR TOURISM – THE RIGHT OFFER FOR ANY WEATHER
In many places, managing visitor flows with the help of precise weather forecasts is an increasingly important topic. Special offers can be provided and promoted for certain weather conditions, e.g. in the event of bad weather, visitors can be redirected to indoor attractions.
Weather data can also be used to forecast visitor flows. In addition to meteorological forecasts, historical weather data is often used to train AI models. MetGIS offers this data for Central Europe in very high spatial and temporal resolution.
CLIMATE INFORMATION
HIGH-RESOLUTION INFORMATION, EVEN FOR THE MOUNTAINS
MetGIS provides climate data and tables for common weather parameters including temperature, precipitation, fresh snow, cloud cover and wind. In addition to average values, the software offers maximum and minimum values on a monthly and daily basis, with precise adaptation to surrounding terrain and altitude. This enables vacationers and tour operators to access reliable weather information for specific months or weeks, even in mountainous regions. In contrast, competing products typically offer only average and maximum values relevant to cities or broader regions.
WEATHER-DEPENDENT ROUTE PLANNING
A SAFE ROUTE WITHOUT HARSH WEATHER CONDITIONS
Weather is often a safety-relevant factor, especially when it comes to planning itineraries for tourists and outdoor activities.
MetGIS offers specialized versions of its weather API to predict weather conditions along routes and tours, considering factors such as start time and assumed travel speed.
This feature is particularly beneficial for route planning, especially in contexts such as extended hiking, alpine activities like summit ascents, ski tours, cycling and mountain bike tours and motorized tours.
ORGANIZED TRIPS AND EXPEDITIONS
PLANNING GUIDELINES FOR A SUCCESSFUL TRIP
MetGIS offers comprehensive support for travel agencies at various stages of (mountain) travel, from planning to execution. Thanks to the worldwide availability of precise weather data, even in remote areas, MetGIS can use forecasts to prevent the trip from potentially ending in a dead end. MetGIS also has the option of sending weather warnings with individually definable threshold values and can use climate data to help determine the best time to travel to certain areas in terms of weather.

Useful MetGIS weather products for the tourism and outdoor sector
MetGIS POINT API
PRECISE WEATHER INFORMATION
The MetGIS Point API is a reliable and powerful solution for querying point-based weather data. Via the API we offer a variety of weather parameters, which are available in different output formats. The API can be integrated quickly and easily so that you can use it for your application.
- For websites, apps and business applications
- Ultra-precise weather data with a resolution of up to 30 m
- Available worldwide, even for remote regions
MetGIS MAPS API
HIGH-RESOLUTION WEATHER LAYERS
Our Maps API makes it easy to integrate weather data into external information systems and platforms that are based on the Tile Map Service (TMS) standard. The weather information can thus be placed as a “color layer” over background maps such as Google Maps or OpenStreetMap.
- Impressive visualization – unique in the world
- Resolution up to 30 meters for highest zoom levels
- Integration into existing maps (PNG/PBF files, TMS)
- Numerical weather values (UTFGrid) available
MetGIS HIST API
HISTORICAL WEATHER DATA WITH THE HIGHEST PRECISION
MetGIS has an extensive set of historical weather data. To generate the data, we went beyond the usual standard. Our approach not only includes global weather reanalysis models, but also integrates information from regional simulation models and measurement series from certified weather stations.
- Fast download via link or simple API integration
- Historical weather data accurate to within a few hundred meters
- One-off or regular query
- Perfect for AI applications
MetGIS LONG RANGE FORECAST API
WEATHER FORECASTS FOR THE FUTURE
The MetGIS Long Range Forecast API relies on ensemble modeling. For this purpose, different forecasts (“ensemble members”) are used and compared with each other. The accuracy of weather predictions is directly related to the number of ensemble members who predict a certain weather situation.
MetGIS is able to recognise trends and forecast probabilities, and make these available to you.
- Long-term weather forecasts for the next 7 months
- Different time resolutions (month or day)
- Forecasts for temperature, precipitation and radiation
- More flexibility through long-term planning options in various sectors, e.g. agriculture, tourism, energy, logistics
