In the last decade,
innovation in the mobile world was tremendous. Now, the world is at the fingertips
of mobile users. Mobile users are now getting real time information which they
need anytime, anywhere. We are here to discuss the emergence of technology in
tourism. According to a study, mobile app development companies Bangalore have developed thousands of mobile apps that have acquired more than a
billion users, in which travel apps are greater in number. Also, the travel
related apps’ downloading rate also improved considerably in the last 2 years
in the play stores.
More than
150 million travelers who have smartphones prefer app for hotel room booking,
and flight booking, etc. Among tour operators and tourists, it brings happiness
with multi-benefits.
But the
shocking news is more than 40% of travel apps are failing to get benefits from
this. There are many reasons for this painful hit. The lack of funding, underperforming
resources, and poor strategy. Proper strategy is like a powerful pillar for a multi-storey
skyscraper. It is vital for any successful mobile app.
When a
competitor implemented new technology, then you also need to upgrade your business
with that. Then only you can reach your business goal and be up to date. This
is also a part of clever app strategy. Mobile apps development company in Bangalore are among the top app development
companies that provide innovative and creative travel app development services
with result-oriented strategy. Strategy is requisite for any travel and tourism
company before initiating mobile apps development. Below, you are given with
mobile app strategy for tourism.
Things that Your Travel App Strategy Must
Include:
Purpose
The purpose
is the most important thing in the mobile app development because it will
decide mobile app is needed or not for your business. You should decide whether
you need app only to provide info, or it as a communication tool or to enable
customers to book the service. When planning for it, focus more on user
benefits.
Find your targeted customers and their
needs
After setting
up the goal, then finding your targeted customers and their requirements is the
next step. In a detailed study, I came to know that more than 70% of USA travelers
book travel tickets through mobile friendly websites and mobile apps.
If you see
80% of travelers share their photos and tourist spot snaps with their friends and
family through Facebook. It means you have to integrate social media plugins
into your app, which makes users share things instantly. Also 40% of them use
apps to check nearby tourist spots when they are on tour. So get in touch with
them to draw more bookings. This kind of research will help you to plan mobile
app better.
Mobile app cost
Before starting
to develop an app, you need to allocate or plan the budget and also return on
investment, so many mobile app projects get stopped while even in developing
stage because of lack of funds. Depending on the mobile features, the cost may
increase or decrease. If you want your app should satisfy your customers, then
you need to spend good money. To decrease the cost, you can eliminate some
secondary features.
Wow factor!!
Finally, when
you launched app to the market, users should feel wow about your app. The wow
factor is a not a core part, but in travel like businesses, you need this to
make them revisit. Also whenever customers need your service and you served them
on time, it also makes them to revisit your business. Also, people always
prefer for additional values for their money, so adding the discounts and
attractive offers can create more value to your app. It delights them to
revisit your app.
