Some Basics Of Apps For Happy Holidays
May be you have just been granted the leave you were awaiting for and finally planning your holidays. The options are many. The latest helping hand has come from Google, which like other numerous ways has metamorphosed into a digital travel agent along with others. Online portals like MakeMy trip and Tripadvisor are focusing on the fact that most of the young access information on the internet through their smart phones while planning holidays. This is why they are developing product features that are centered on the “mobile first” app. Against mobile apps, Google has an advantage of not requiring an app to access the desired information. Instead with a single mobile browser with Google it could in a big way help you with your planning. You just need to type on the search engine the name of the place you intend to visit along with the word “destinations”. Thereafter options keep popping out along with images stating the holiday spots, hotels, etc. We at HotelSantiniketan Digha being the best budget hotel of Digha and being in the travel business for long try to guide you in this blog the latest trends in holidays planning:
Check Out The Apps You Can Look For To Plan Holidays:
Recently popular online travel portal “MakeMy Trip” launched 2 mobile specific initiatives some time back. One being “ Appy Hours” , which offers heavy discounts on hotel bookings on Thursdays and “Trippy Tuesdays”, for availing deep discounts on flight bookings. Both the innovative initiatives have brought in a surge in customer traffic by a whopping 300 % during peak hours. Trip Advisor another popular online travel portal has an interesting app feature called “Near Me Now”, which guides travelers to reach nearby places though the GPS on their phones. Against these features Google suggests itineraries which are based on the historical data of the visits made by the travelers in the area in the past. Thus helps them to save on research time. Some industry experts claim that this new feature of Google would help the travelers to cut down on the commissions charged by the online travel agents as Google would directly redirect the traveler to the respective Hotel web site or the airline website. However others feel that this is only a marginal difference and hence it would not be significant. They also argue that the specialized travel portals have much better inputs about the local information like “Ixigo”, thus they are much better placed to guide the traveler better. Besides they are of the opinion that Google in this way is limited in a way that they are unable to provide lucrative holiday packages, which becomes a great attraction for travelers researching online. A travel website “Ezeego1” has some interesting features which are particularly helpful to the inveterate traveler. This could include the probability of a wait listed PNR getting confirmed. “Yatra -online” has a new feature which enables a customer to hold international tickets for a fixed hours at no extra cost. It also offers another feature called”Last Minute Hotel deals” which offers heavy discounts on deals booked at the last moment and thus you need not spend a fortune.
Many experts also state that though the popularity of mobile devices for accessing internet is rapidly growing, but it is unlikely that the entire planning in regard to the trip would be made on it immediately. Google destination though at present may be more of an exploratory tool, is another great facility all which stands to benefit the traveler. Whatever it is, if you are aware of the latest trends now in the “information age”, it can be rightly concluded that “Customer is King”, even in the Travel Industry.
