With our Mobile Travel App guide, all you need to do before going on a vacation is
download the apps and let them guide you through. Before we get along with this travel
app tour, here are some inputs from travel industry experts who have been dedicated users
of travel apps for quite some time now.
WHAT DO TRAVEL INDUSTRY EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY...

Consumer Expert, www.AndreaWoroch.com
The UNWTO announced that, in 2013 global
tourism topped 1 billion arrivals for the first
time, and that number is set to trend upward
for the foreseeable future. Similarly,
smartphone penetration is growing in leaps
and bounds throughout the world. Together,
it's a powerful combination for travel apps.
It is a very crowded space with the entire
travel industry slowly converting existing
web sites to responsive sites, with improved
smartphone performance. The availability of
launch-that-site-with-an-iconmeans that they
constitute a quickly expanding set of mobile
travel resources.

T r a v i s K a t z
TripAdvisor is my savior for getting reviews
on hotels and restaurants. I also like Yelp for
finding the best places to eat in a new city.
Our users love Gogobot because we allow
them to tap the collective knowledge of
friends and like-minded travelers to plan
their trips
