Hotel Me, a Facebook app !

A new app called Hotel Me is available on Facebook for all the travelling lovers who are looking for friends suggestions ! 

The principle is very simple, actually you just have to enter the destination or area where you want to go and your dates. Then, it will be the job of your friends ! They will have to click on the blue button and suggest any places.

This is where the app is limited as people use to make comments to give some ideas and do not click on the blue button, but it is a behave question.

In my opinion, it is a great idea. Having suggestions from my friends regarding my future trips is defintely better than reading some comments from unknowns. As my friends know me, they will take in account what I like and in their suggestions, I will certainly find nice propositions.

Well, it is a way to go and discover some places without anxiety. I like it !

The impact smart phones have on the travel market

This week, an article about the impact smart phones have on the travel market, retained my attention. A study reveals that travelers are now using their smart phone to check the weather, restaurant reviews in order to get an insight of their destination.

Most of the time, travelers use their smart phones to book flights and hotels. Now, they are looking for new app to make their lives easier.

The apps growing is important and many companies are conscious of their impact. Many travelers do not want to pay for app but giving them for free it is also a way to reach new consumers.

In my opinion, and as I am concerned by smart phone use when I am traveling, I would say that we are looking for free apps but we are not against to pay an app a certain price for unlimited acces as guide books for example. When I am abroad, I want to have all the information that I need and my smart phone is is giving to me security. I am pretty sure that in a near future, everything will be done with your smart phone. Nowdays, we already book flight, register, and take on board with it.

Apps are a new market, and in a few time it will be very developed. It is a huge opportunity.
