Quarantine time is a good time to consider carefully how to develop a nice app for traveling. Usually, travel apps are tools for a comfortable and effective interaction between a travel agency and a traveler.
How can it be useful for your business?

Examples of travel apps
Applications for tourists have their own characteristics, and each is created with its own functionality. The main thing is that such an application is useful for travelers and brings money to the owners. Here are some examples of popular completed projects:
AroundMe. An application that helps a tourist to find attractions, establishments, hotels, and other places in an unknown city. Using geolocation, the application understands where the tourist is and shows all important objects, including ATMs, cinemas, hotels, and restaurants.
MAPS.ME. A very useful application for travel, because there are maps that work without the Internet. It is enough to download them in advance. All locations are displayed, you can build a route, find the desired objects.
Wiffinity. Application for tourists who cannot live without the Internet and do not want to pay for roaming. It is a large database of Wi-Fi hotspots around the world with passwords. By geolocation, the application determines the location of the tourist and offers to connect to the available Internet.
Packpoint. A real tourist assistant. There is a list of things you need to take on your trip, the app will check the weather, remind you of events and places to visit. This is a travel planner.
Travel applications bring tremendous benefits to users, and for owners, they are a tool for additional sales of services and goods, the ability to interact with the client, and be in demand.
