Let’s take you a few decades back. You are planning to travel to some place and you already know that, despite your passion for travelling, it is going to be one hell of a headache. Consequently, you are confused on what to pack, how to travel, how to track your schedule and basically, are everywhere to comprehend. Our tone might sound a little exaggerated, but trust us, for people from those times, it’s not unreal. But here we are today, with these tools, websites & apps, handling all the elements like a pro. Today, we have apps for flights, accommodation, local conveyance and even itineraries, all within the reach of a tap. Or we say ‘an app’.
But then while traveling, we need much more than just bookings. And we probably don’t realize that the small things count as much as the big things do on a trip. There are some components of a trip that we usually miss, but the mobile app developers and of these amazing apps didn’t. Here’s a list of 10 most useful mobile apps that have enormously contributed to make travel sector better by each day.
Airbnb
Not the type who spend loads on accommodation? Airbnb is your perfect companion to help you get the cheapest accommodations with a promise of security. With the help of Airbnb, one can find local accommodation and ditch the expenses of hotels. On Airbnb, anyone register as a host and offer their house or hotel as accommodation services to travellers. So, in a way, Airbnb is like a local accommodation aggregator.
Google Trips
Caught up in managing various elements of your trip? Google Trips is all you need. Google Trips is a great example of applications of Artificial Intelligence that analyses your reservations, bookings, flight schedules, list of things to do, Local Maps and much more, and lets you access everything from a single page. The app also allows one to create personalized itineraries and saves all the details locally to your phone, from where they can be accessed easily.
Time Out
With Time Out, you would never have to face boredom during a trip. With Time Out, you can find a list of things you can do in a city. Not only that, the app also allows one to find directions, event tickets, timings, venue and much more. Sharing your trip plans with friends is also possible with this app as it comes with social sharing and social login features.
Google Translate
Visiting China? Can’t speak Mandarin? Well, that’s perfectly okay. Google Translate lets you, up to a large extent, translate 108 languages all over the world. One can also use a camera to take picture of a text and translate it into desired language. For even more convenience, the app allows instant two-way speech translation and handwriting translation. In case you find a translation important enough to be used later, you can simply save it.
Guides
Guides is the official app launched by Lonely Planet – the world’s largest travel guide book. Integrated with AI protocols, the app is capable of making tailored recommendations, popular spots to see, things to do, has offline maps, and even an audio phrasebook containing most used local phrases so that you can speak with the locals even better than Google Translate lets you.
Splitwise
Travelling with a friend? Need to split expenses? Leave behind the hassles of maintaining expenditure records, by using Splitwise. The working of Splitwise is very ordinary and the app itself isn’t very high on advanced functionality, but the utility it provides is what makes it unique. However, when it comes to splitting expenses between two or among the group, Splitwise covers all aspects of the same.
Citymapper
A traveller would usually avoid using public transit for two reasons: first, it is hard to find. Second, it is hard to follow up the schedule for the same. Citymapper precisely tackles these two issues for a traveller, so that they can effectively use public transit in any place, at any time. The arsenal of its transit services is not limited to just taxi, subway, train and bus, and also includes car share, bike share and ferry share.
Conclusion:
Travel sector has greatly been influenced by mobile app development sector, especially since the demand for digital technology has reached new highs. From what is fairly visible; traditional travel agencies offering travel packages are almost extinct and we see travellers leaning more and more on online travel agencies, hotel aggregators and travel services aggregators. In future, we may also see extensive use of business Intelligence services in making travel sector more empowered than ever.
