Emergence of mobile applications for almost everything we do today is on an all-time high in the current times. In the earlier years, we used to have travel agents who would plan the details of a vacation for their clients. However, now we have mobile applications to do the major, as well as minor jobs. The change has come for the better times, and it is here to stay. By eliminating the need of a mediator, our Smartphones have done a great favor to the world. Let us look at the travel trends of this year so that you can make the most of mobile apps to create a unique itinerary for your next vacation.

Booking a hotel

It is a challenging task to look for a suitable and pocket-friendly room according to your needs, be it anywhere in the world. Thankfully in India, we have many mobile applications that cater to bookings of national and international hotel chains. Booking.com, Make My Trip, Trivago.com, Goibibo, OYO Rooms, etc. are just a few apps that you can use to make room reservations across the country. Some of these apps are also used to make hotel bookings in foreign countries as well. Each hotel in these apps has a star rating based on different factors. You can go through the customer reviews to find out the genuine condition of a hotel before finalizing a room.

Mode of transportation

You need to choose a distinct mode of transport to reach different places in India. For long distance travel, you can always trust air travel or the Indian railways for a quick journey. For a road trip extending to a few hundred kilometers, you can trust car rentals and chauffeur driven cabs. For traveling to only a few kilometers, auto-rickshaws, cabs, metro trains, and manual rickshaws are the best options. With so many choices of transportation, how would you choose the best one for a particular city or hamlet? Don’t worry, you can use apps like MyChoize, Zoomcar, IRCTC, Ola cabs, Uber, RedBus, Yatra.com, makemytrip.com, Goibibo.com, etc. to book your best mode of transport suitable for a particular location.

Making an itinerary

Many of the mobile apps mentioned above help to create an itinerary for a vacation anywhere in India. However, you can also take help from Google to find innumerable websites to create a unique travel plan for any city or state. Take help from travel blogs and customer reviews about a place to get the maximum information about it.

Online forums

Various online forums these days can assist you to talk to a seasoned traveler or anyone who has been to a place where you plan to go. You can chat or call these people, share information with them online, ask questions and get answers on the Q&A forums, and get the real time information about any country.

Food options

If you do not want to download a separate application for best restaurants in any city or hill station, you can google about it. You will find at least twenty results showing the best foods to try in any city you go. It is better to avoid the temptation of just anywhere you are, and follow the recommendations of travel bloggers to avoid missing the best things. You may want to eat a McDonalds burger, for example, but it is worth the wait to reach a local restaurant and try something native of that place.

Planning a holiday has never been easier. You can simply use mobile applications and find out the things you want to do without spending much time and money.
