A New Way To Discover OEV: Old East Village BIA Partners with Driftscape

The Old East Village Business Improvement Area is excited to announce a new partnership with Driftscape, a leading tourism app designed to enhance the exploration experience for both visitors and locals. This collaboration leverages Driftscape’s innovative mobile app to enrich the cultural and business landscape of Old East Village.


As we roll out new initiatives to enhance the Old East Village business district and support our members, we are excited to collaborate with Driftscape. Their expertise and experience make them the clear choice for providing an interactive platform for our business and property owners, as well as for visitors to OEV,” the BIA’s General Manager, Kevin Morrison, says. “We are enthusiastic about this new partnership and eagerly anticipate the positive outcomes and successes it will bring to the Old East Village."


Driftscape allows you to explore OEV's businesses, tours, and events.

Empowering Decision-Making with Analytics

A cornerstone of this partnership is the integration of Driftscape's advanced visitor analytics. By utilizing this powerful tool, the OEV BIA will gain valuable insights into visitor behaviour and preferences. This data-driven approach will support the BIA's ongoing efforts to make informed decisions that benefit the community and its businesses.


Revitalizing Walking Tours for Evergreen Appeal

The OEV BIA is on its way to modernize how visitors experience its popular attractions! Through Driftscape, the BIA aims to revamp its existing Dumpling Trail and Culture Cruise tours, ensuring they remain relevant and engaging for years to come. Leveraging the app’s user engagement features, visitors will be able to better connect with their surroundings.


Old East Village's Dumpling Trail will have a refreshed launch on Driftscape.

Interactive Business Directory Enhancement

The OEV BIA’s business directory is set to become more interactive and user-friendly through Driftscape’s automated business directory feature. The app will act as a dynamic business directory, providing visitors with real-time information about businesses. This enhancement aligns with the BIA’s ongoing goal to support local businesses and improve the overall visitor experience.


Supplementing Existing Efforts and Operations

Rather than focusing solely on new short-term projects, the partnership with Driftscape is intended to supplement the BIA’s ongoing initiatives. The app will enhance existing efforts and operations, ensuring that the Old East Village continues to thrive as a vibrant community hub. By integrating Driftscape’s capabilities, the BIA aims to create a more interactive, informative, and enjoyable experience for all who visit the area.
