Tourism is improving because of the 'Start-up nation': three Israeli-made apps for travellers
In the past few years Israel has gained a reputation as a hub of innovation and invention. A start-up nation full of young, tech-savvy entrepreneurs who are continuously finding ways to enrich the world.
One of the major industries this start-up nation has overtaken is tourism. Tourists have been flocking to Israel itself because of the energy emanating from this great nation, filling ANA
Israeli Youth Hostel Association branches across the country. Israel’s contributions to travel industry technology are having a major impact on how people are seeing and experiencing the entire world. Here are three apps created by Israeli developers that are seeing major use in countries all over the globe.
WorldMate
This app is already being used by over 10 million people, but if you’re not one of them, you may want to consider it. After simply forwarding your travel confirmation emails, like flights or hotel bookings, to a WorldMate email address, WorldMate basically acts as your personal travel assistant, organizing your itinerary, sending you up-to-the-minute flight updates including delays and gate changes, recommending hotels for bookings, and providing maps and navigation.
TourPal
Offers all of the convenience of having a tour guide with none of the talking to a human aspect of it. TourPal offers full travel guides for over 70 major cities. It highlights and provides audio tours for must-see tourist attractions and fills you in on the most popular hostels, restaurants, stores, bars and other venues. As every good travel app must, TourPal provides GPS-based online and offline maps.
yapQ
Apps have certainly made it simple to do many things. Unfortunately, burning through bandwidth is also one of the things apps have made easy. The developers of yapQ had your data usage in mind when they developed their audio guide app, allowing you to download audio guides over WiFi for a wide variety of cities in a wide variety of languages and then use the app entirely offline (It can also be used online without downloading, of course.).
