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...

Director, The Avant-Guide Institute Executive Director, At-Hand Apps, LLC

R o b e r t G r a yD a n i e l l e v i n e

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.

CEO and Founder, Gogobot

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
