Though the idea of using travel apps is nothing new, the September 2019 travel trends reveal a whole new set of apps for today's tech-savvy travelers.
Instead of simply using apps to find accommodations or book flights, travelers are now turning to niche apps that help to enhance their vacation. For instance, the Travellar App helps travelers find unique activities at their destination and connect with other travelers who might want to embark on the same kind of adventures.
The September 2019 travel trends also extend to the planning phase of traveling with apps like Travel Base. Travel Base helps travelers budget and plan their next trip by showing the average cost of travelling in different destinations. Similarly, the Brisk Voyage app helps travelers plan last-minute, budget-friendly weekend trips in the US.
