Major Steps to follow for the app building

Step 1: Selecting an app type


Choose from booking, lodging booking, transportation apps, and travel guides applications for
your travel app.

Step 2: Researching your competitors


Find out about other travel apps in your sector, as well as their benefits and drawbacks. Also,
think about integrating pre-built travel app APIs.

Step 3: Choose a travel app Features of the MVP


User accounts, social sharing, booking, in-app payment, and location-based search and filters
should all be included in your travel app MVP.

Step 4: Locate app developers who specialise in travel apps.


Hire the best travel app development firm with a track record of successful projects.

Step 5: Begin the discovery process


Determine the project scope and milestones, as well as the appropriate technical solutions, and
define the concept of your travel app based on current trends.

Step 6: Create the travel app


Begin the app development process by hiring a development team to come up with a design
and code for your project.

Key Features desirable for the app


1. A Feature of a Travel Planner
Travel apps are no longer limited to booking a place to sleep for the night. More is desired by
users. A great trip organizer/planner function developed by an experienced enterprise software
development team is something that most travellers demand from a travel app. Users should be
able to search for destinations and itineraries in such a planner. Users should also be able to
create schedules, store tickets (airline or otherwise), and access usable QR codes through the
function.

2. Transportation and Logistics


The majority of vacationers wander around with their phone in hand when exploring a new city.
That's because getting around a new city may be annoying and challenging, especially if you
don't know where to obtain a cab or other mode of transportation. A transportation service
function is an important element to incorporate in your travel app in 2020. You'll need to use
location services and interact with major travel services/city traffic services to accomplish this.
The idea is that a user would not need to launch a separate app to hire a cab. Users would also
be able to easily identify railway stations, bus terminals, and other forms of public transit.

3. Reservation Services
A booking service is another wonderful feature to offer in your travel app for 2020. This isn't
limited to only hotels or hostels, but also includes in-city tourist attractions and museums. Users
anticipate finding the best bargains on tickets and lodging through their favourite travel
applications.

By allowing users to buy tickets, hotels, and tours directly from the app (with redeemable
coupons or discounts), you'll see a significant rise in app loyalty and demand. Provide a built-in
function that includes transportation to and from the hotel, a loyalty programme, and virtual
check-ins.

4. Keep a travel diary


Believe it or not, a substantial number of travellers enjoy keeping a notebook that chronicles
their whole journey. They frequently do so by shooting photographs, movies, or even audio
recordings. Integrate a "journal" or "diary" function that allows customers to capture the wonder
of their trip in each form, using a superb corporate software development company. Allow users
to upload their travel journal straight to their favourite social media platform from within the app
as an added feature.

5. Navigational Assistance
Even seasoned travellers recognise that being in an unfamiliar city or location can be difficult at
times. Especially if there isn't an obvious route to get around town or get to where you want to
go. According to data, 85 percent of all mobile users utilise one or more navigation tools while
on the road. By incorporating navigation and geolocation directly into your travel app, you can
keep users engaged with your app instead of switching to alternative navigation services. Make
sure your navigation services allow for map downloads for offline use as an added bonus.

6. Travel Recommendations or Trip Reviews


When visiting a new place, most visitors prefer to visit non-touristy areas or areas frequented by
residents. After all, this is the only way to truly grasp the essence of a city or region. Consider
including trip reviews and travel advice in your travel app. Consider the example of Tripadvisor
for inspiration. Allow any user to leave a review or make a recommendation, but only those who
are local to the area where the visitor is staying will be flagged.

7. Translation Capabilities
Travelers are less likely to stay in their own countries or regions. International travel is on the
rise, thus any travel app should include translation capabilities. People are frequently hampered
when travelling owing to a linguistic barrier. While there are translation apps available in the iOS
and Android app stores, travellers don't want to have to run multiple apps at once to save
battery life. Travelers can feel free to roam around without concern of a language barrier from
signage, street maps, or locals if you integrate translation services into your travel app with an
enterprise software development team.

8. Weather Predictions
A simple change in the weather can have a favourable or bad impact on any journey. Integrate
weather updates into your travel app for 2002 to allow users to prepare ahead of time without
having to use different apps. To incorporate a weather component in your travel app, every
experienced enterprise software development team knows how to use a common open-source
API.

9. Local Emergency Services


When life throws an emergency at a traveller, it doesn't care if they're in a strange nation or not.
Travelers can be confident that they will know where local hospitals and police stations are
situated if they use local emergency services, regardless of whatever city they are visiting.
Simply provide a feature that lists the phone numbers for all emergency services in the area.
You can also allow users to make direct calls to these services from within the app. This not
only gives your users protection, but it also gives you some trust and shows that you care about
their safety.

10. Login to your social media accounts.


Because a mobile travel app is such a personal tool for travellers, it's critical that their social
media accounts and platforms are immediately integrated into the app. Add the social media
login feature as an option when a user registers for an account in your app. Not only would this
shorten the registration process, but it will also get you access to their social media profiles,
allowing you to create customised promotions and advertisements for each user. Most
customers also appreciate the opportunity to publish trip data immediately to their favourite
social media site without having to launch a separate app.

The Remainder
In 2020, creating a successful travel app will entail incorporating features that will make any
traveler's journey that much easier. You want to think like a traveller while simultaneously
advertising your brand and company, whether it's a trip notebook to keep track of their daily
activities or transportation services to get them safely to the next station. Integrate a handful of
these top 10 features into your travel app and watch as the number of people eager to try it out
on their next vacation rises.
