Solo trips are fun!
Yes, that’s right. But, what about the panics and anxieties that a solo traveller get when they are all alone in a distant land? From hotel booking to flight reservation, picking a cab at the airport to going for an adventure tour in the next day, a traveller has to all by himself or herself.While solo travelling is all about exploring new things all alone and settling for some peace, many travel agencies are bringing complete tour guide apps to make sure that travellers are not panic-stricken during their journey.
The growth of the apps market is remarkable and that signalled a lot of businesses to personalise their services with a great mobile app. Travel businesses are among them!
With rising interests in solo travelling, you can just hit the right spot by developing an absolute travel guide app for the lone travellers. Just get an iOS or Android app development company who can understand the idea of your travel guide app and build it to make it a perfect companion for those travellers.
As this blog attempts to provide guidelines on the development of a tour guide app, here are the features that you need to include in it.
City map
The first feature is a city map in which the travellers can locate every place, destination spot, hotels, cafeterias, pubs, amusement parks, museums, shops, monasteries, temples, and what-not! With the city map, the travel can know the distance to a particular destination, available transport and other amenities (like eateries, resting lodges) and plan their trip wisely.Cab or bus pickups
All freak out at the thought of travelling alone! Getting a cab or bus service, convincing the driver to take you to your destination and then negotiating on a fare, all seem more difficult when someone is travelling solo. To help them, provide your app with cab or bus ride-booking services. It will help them find a cab or bus on the go, pick them up from a particular stop and drop on their destination.Language translator
The first thing we all bother about a person landing in an unknown place is that they can interact well and hence can’t convey their needs or views to anyone. For this, a travel guide app must be equipped with a language translator which will translate whatever the traveller wants to say in their specific local language.GPS for real-time navigation
There should be a GPS or navigation feature in your app which will show users the routes to follow to go to a particular destination. With real-time navigation, it will prevent users to get lost in an unknown place, and also spare them from asking directions to random strangers.Emergency Contact
Allow your customers to call cops, ambulance, firemen, hospitals or any other emergency contacts when in need directly from the app. This feature is needed to ensure the security of every solo traveller. The app must integrate a complete list of emergency contacts based on the countries.
