Update, October 2026: the GoTimor travel-guide app described here is no longer listed on Google Play or the Apple App Store (checked October 2026). It is not the same as the “GoTimor Ride” taxi app, which is still available — see Getting around Timor-Leste. For current listings, use the official tourism portal timorleste.tl and our own accommodation and business directories.
What was announced (December 2021)
USAID’s Tourism For All project, Heineken Timor S.A., the mobile operator Telkomcel and the Directorate General of Tourism launched GoTimor, a free travel app for residents, expatriates and visitors.
- Features: listings of businesses, events and special offers, Google Maps integration, user ratings and sharing of plans through social media
- Cost: free to download, and free for businesses to list themselves, which made it useful for small businesses without an advertising budget
- Coverage: mostly Dili businesses at launch
- Management: Telkomcel agreed to run the app and gather content for its first year
