Mobile Phones, the game changer in the Hospitality and Travel sector



Online mobile booking has seen a rise than before, in the Hospitality and Travel sector and the companies operating in respective segments feel that the current trend will continue to increase with mobile phones surpassing the popularity of desktops and laptops.

This shows the ‘mobile booking online trend’ is incessantly rising, as the numbers are even giving the right signals to companies to start leveraging on the mobile traffic, if they have not started doing it by now.

The Co-Founder and CEO of the Indian travel company  MakeMyTrip,  Rajesh Magow says,            mobile bookings will soon exceed other devices.

Most of the hotels and travel companies are changing their website and online booking platform to match with the trend of mobile phones (to have mobile booking engines), so that they do not fail to keep up amid other players that have mobile compatible websites and booking engines.

Most people use Smartphone to make instant hotel bookings and planning itineraries. Identifying very need of the hour, there are many companies in the online space that provide mobile apps for ‘on the spot’ hotel bookings and reservations.
