  2. Resulting to the advancement of today’s technology, there is a major shift in consumer expectations. In order to stay relevant, it is imperative for online accommodation providers and travel agencies to consider investing in app development. The app developed for the business must have the same functionality as that of the mobile website. Moreover, it should be more user-friendly and faster. • Investing in mobile app development is indeed very important, especially to those business owners who are in the industry of local hotel chains, guide book publishers, and even walking tour companies. All travel brands should invest in app development to market the business better.

  3. The app can be an effective online hotel reservation system for your business. However, there is actually no need to focus on e-commerce functionality. The app can also focus on providing useful content for the users. It should contain travel inspiration and information to ensure the users get the most out of their stay. • Having an online hotel reservation system is indeed beneficial for the hotel. It brings in more revenues. Here are some of the specific benefits that come from investing in an app:

  4. #1. Engage traveling customers • Customers who are on the road will find it difficult to access the Booking Management Software through their laptop or computer. That is why having an app that offers the same functionality should make life easier for these customers. While most of the functions in the app (booking modifications, reservations, and such) require web access, it would be good if the developed app can offer some functions that can be carried out offline too.

  5. #2. Help to stay relevant • More than Twitter or Facebook accounts, consumers nowadays expect businesses to offer an app. This is the kind of investment that the business can adopt to avoid seeming out of date. It is what keeps the business stay relevant.

  6. #3. Help generate new leads • Through the app that offers an online hotel booking system, there will be more opportunities for the business to generate leads. The business can then be listed on Google Play as well as in the Apple App Store. These are two sites with thousands of daily traffic. These people may be looking for new apps to download. Investing in an app for the business is one method of lead generation.

  7. #4. Publicity and online exposure • The app can help the business earn media coverage. It can be from blogs or other relevant websites. For example, a travel industry journalist may be out looking for innovative apps to write about. If he comes across the business’ app and it fits what he is looking for, then the business can easily earn priceless media coverage without paying a lot of money. Some free booking engine can also tried.

  8. #5. Offer value to travelers • Looking at previously successful travel apps, it should be easy to note that they are usually apps that identify traveler’s fundamental needs. The apps then provide a solution for these needs. Most of these apps tend to offer features such as GPS, camera, and even user-generated content such as reviews, videos, and photos.
