Fun Finder uses GPS, beacon and Wi-Fi technology in order to serve as a personal guide to some of the great activities and amenities that are available at the resorts. Ultimately, the new app feature is meant to encourage guests to make spontaneous activities to happen, such as booking last-minute massages or enjoying happy hour drink deals. In order to make sure that guests are able to make the most of what they can do at the resort, one of the best features of the app is a map. This map gives guests precise directions throughout the resort so that getting lost never gets in the way of having fun. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 45% | Activity: 72% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Personalized Hospitality Apps:** Apps that provide personalized recommendations for guests are becoming a trend in the hospitality industry. - **Location-based Technology:** The use of GPS, beacon and Wi-Fi technology to create customized recommendations based on a guest's location is on the rise. - **Real-time Offers and Deals:** The ability to offer real-time deals and promotions, such as happy hour drink specials, through personalized hospitality apps is a growing trend. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** The hospitality industry is embracing personalized apps to provide better guest experiences and drive revenue through last-minute bookings. - **Technology:** Developing and integrating location-based technology to create customized recommendations presents a growth opportunity for tech companies. - **Marketing:** Real-time offers and deals through personalized hospitality apps offer a new frontier for marketers looking to engage with customers in the hospitality industry. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Innovative Activity-Finding Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/we-outside.md) - [Custom Hospitality Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/custom-hospitality.md) - [Real-Time Nightlife Finders](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nightlife-finders.md) - [Elevated Outdoor Lodging Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/outdoor-lodging-experiences.md) - [AI-Powered Adventure Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/globe-chaser.md) - [Tranquil Maldivian Resort Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/resort-app.md) - [In-Room Wellness Experiences](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hilton-and-calm.md) - [Local Activity Planners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fun-day-plan1.md) - [Pocket Concierge Apps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pocket-concierge.md)
