Travel Enthusiast M. Beth Trombold Highlights Value of Apps for Vacationers

PHILADELPHIA, PA, March 27, 2013 (Press-News.org) M. Beth Trombold has traveled extensively across the United States, and as such understands just how important it is for vacationers to remain organized and focused when catching a flight or booking hotels. A recent article published by Tech News World highlights several mobile applications that can assist travelers in doing just that. Here, Trombold responds to the article by providing insight regarding the value that such applications can hold.

The increased popularity of mobile technology, including tablets and smartphones, has resulted in a surge in demand for applications. The applications that are currently available for today's mobile devices range from games to productivity tools to social networking resources. Travel apps are also highly relied upon by vacationers, as they provide individuals with a way to plan their itineraries, map their getaways, and keep up with the travels of friends and family members (depending on the app in question).

According to the article: "Travel apps are also giving travelers new ways to organize and share their itineraries. TripIt, for instance, consolidates airplane, hotel, rental car, and other travel information into one easy-to-read itinerary that can be shared with friends, family, or co-workers." Other apps, such as Telenav's Scout, LiveTrekker, and HipGeo, are mentioned by the article with regard to the value that they hold for travelers.

"After going through the process of picking a destination, booking flights, arranging for transportation around town, confirming hotel rooms, and planning which destinations to visit without the help of mobile apps, I am certainly excited to see the whole vacation planning process streamlined by the use of technology," asserts M. Beth Trombold. "Mobile applications aren't going to do all of the work, users still have to make key decisions, compare prices, and book their rooms and fares, but the right app will keep all of this information organized and in one convenient location. This is especially important for long trips, vacations overseas, or when just trying to fit the planning process into a busy schedule."

Trombold encourages anyone who has not yet tried a travel app to do a bit of research regarding the applications that are available on today's market. The variety of apps that are currently offered means that travelers are more likely to find one that fits their personal needs and traveling style.
