With almost 40% of the world’s population online and over 41% households connected to the internet globally, the Mobile App Market is bound to be Worth $27 Billion in 2013. This calls for an “Mobile App” era where almost every imaginable daily task from project management to attending social parties to planning out vacations has an app assigned to it. In February 2012 the German Apple App Store accounted for about 550.000 apps including 26.000 travel apps (category Travel) alone. This year there are around 780.000 apps and 36.000 travel apps (category Travel) representing a market share of 4,62% of all apps available (31,04% in Games category). Paid apps account for 44% and 56% are free travel apps. Planning the dream trip of your life isn’t going to be much difficult anymore, will it? Or, should we say, with our Mobile Travel App guide, all you need to do before going on a vacation is download the apps and let them guide you through.

3. With our Mobile Travel App guide, all you need to do before going on a vacation is
download the apps and let them guide you through. Before we get along with this travel
app tour, here are some inputs from travel industry experts who have been dedicated users
of travel apps for quite some time now.
WHAT DO TRAVEL INDUSTRY EXPERTS HAVE TO SAY...

R o b e r t G r a yD a n i e l l e v i n e
Consumer Expert, www.AndreaWoroch.com
The UNWTO announced that, in 2013 global
tourism topped 1 billion arrivals for the first
time, and that number is set to trend upward
for the foreseeable future. Similarly,
smartphone penetration is growing in leaps
and bounds throughout the world. Together,
it's a powerful combination for travel apps.
It is a very crowded space with the entire
travel industry slowly converting existing
web sites to responsive sites, with improved
smartphone performance. The availability of
launch-that-site-with-an-iconmeans that they
constitute a quickly expanding set of mobile
travel resources.

T r a v i s K a t z
TripAdvisor is my savior for getting reviews
on hotels and restaurants. I also like Yelp for
finding the best places to eat in a new city.
Our users love Gogobot because we allow
them to tap the collective knowledge of
friends and like-minded travelers to plan
their trips
