00:02Your smartphone is your best travel companion. We highlight the essential apps a traveler must have.
00:11My first recommendation TripIt. This app has become very popular as a travel plan.
00:17With TripIt you can plan and organize your entire trip.
00:21That's everything from car rentals, flights, hotels to even excursions and activities.
00:27TripIt works on mobile phones, tablets and computers.
00:32Fork is an all-in-one platform for businesses to manage travel, expenses and events.
00:39What it does? Well, it integrates automated receipts and company car tracking as well as policy and cost control for
00:46business travelers.
00:52My tip is an app from Australia. Roam to Rio.
00:55With this trip planner you can research, compare and coordinate your transport options across 240 countries around the world.
01:02Depending on whether you prefer to travel by train, ferry, bus, plane or car, Roam to Rio offers support.
01:12All Trails. It's a popular mobile app and website for outdoor enthusiasts to discover.
01:18This app is meant to help you navigate and share hikes, runs, bike rides and other activities using GPS maps,
01:25detailed trail info and the reviews of other users.
01:32There are many popular platforms where you can book your stay. I like Hotel Tonight.
01:37Hotel Tonight is especially useful for those who need to book a hotel on short notice and make last-minute
01:44decisions.
01:44Of course, some people like booking every single detail of their travels in advance.
01:51But this tourism researcher doesn't think they're missing out.
01:57The element of chance, this element of surprise, the very things that might define adventure are largely lost because we
02:05already know so much in advance.
02:07Of course, that gives us a sense of security, but isn't it also nice to feel a little uncertain to
02:12have adventures?
02:13And technology takes that away from us to some extent.
02:17But when you're at the airport, it's not really about adventures. It's more about efficiency and finally getting to start
02:23your holiday.
02:27Airport apps can also be very helpful, especially if you're already there and time is running short.
02:34Security checks can take a lot of time, but apps can show you the fastest option.
02:39The BER app from Berlin Airport, for example, allows you to book a time slot for security for free.
02:47I hope these apps make traveling easier for you wherever and whenever you want to go.
