Travel Apps Offering Ultimate Convenience to Travelers | Globaldata Plc

Travel apps act as the ultimate one-stop shop for travelers

LONDON, June 30, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- When looking specifically at major OTAs, through their apps, users can instantly: book hotels or flights, create personalized itineraries, read up on information about a destination before arrival, look for things to do during a trip, manage their bookings, converse with property hosts, store important documents, contact customer service, receive exclusive app-based discounts, and share experiences with fellow travelers. Only a decade ago, creating personalized itineraries and looking for things to do during a trip would take a considerable amount of time. Now through apps using advanced forms of technology such as AI (artificial intelligence), travelers can receive personal recommendations on things to do and see during their trip, which have been learned from previous searches on the app, then recommendations can be accepted and added to personalized itineraries.

The Travel Apps – Thematic Research report offered by GlobalData Plc provides an overview of travel apps and how they are utilized by the industry. The report also helps to understand the impact of travel apps on the tourism industry through case studies to understand this theme.

For example, it is now imperative for airlines to adopt a mobile-first strategy. This sector was relatively slow in adopting travel apps. Mobile apps are now an essential part of communication strategies for airlines and help them to remain in the mind of their customer base when they are not traveling, by communicating offers and announcements via push notifications.
