Project planning
We define the goals of the product: reservations, routes, recommendations or a comprehensive solution. We analyze the target audience (tourists, guides, companies), competitive applications, points of interaction, and technological requirements. We choose the architecture, platform, and services (maps, geolocation, reservations, and payments).
Designing the user interface
We are creating a UX/UI design focused on the convenience of travelers. We are developing prototypes of the main screens: tour search, booking, route map, personal account, favorites and support. We think over navigation, visual style, clear icons and responsive design.
Functional development
Within 3-4 months, the development team is creating a cross-platform or native mobile app for travel and tourism. We wrote more details about which development to choose here.
We integrate the platform with airlines, hotels, guides, and CRM systems. We are implementing search functions for tours, hotels and transport, providing interactive maps and routes, as well as booking and payment options. Additionally, we are implementing push notifications about flights, events, and weather conditions, as well as trip history and personal account functions.
Testing the application
We perform automated and manual software testing for performance, functionality, security, and compatibility with different devices.
Release and support
After the release of the travel application, its performance is monitored and logs are monitored. Our team promptly fixes any inaccuracies and bugs that arise.
Nowadays, travel mostly begins not with an agency, but with a phone — people search for tickets, book accommodation, plan routes and discover new destinations through mobile applications. That is why it is important for travel companies, operators and digital platforms to have a convenient platform that will make trip planning fast, profitable and simple.
The basic functions of the travel app are:
Search for interesting places, attractions, and services on the map.
Smart selection of tickets, excursions and hotels.
Create a personalized route.
Offline access to important documents.
Integration with insurance, transportation, medical and other services.
Travel guides and tips from the community.
Push notifications - reminders of departures, check—in, important changes, and personal offers.
Support chat and FAQ section.
Linking a card for payment and storing the booking history.
User Profile — manage settings, routes, documents, and favorite places.
Our MTS Travel case is an example of a platform for tourism. We have developed a cross-platform travel application on Flutter that allows you to book tickets, hotels, transfers and excursions with cashback and authorization via MTS ID. The MVP was created in 3 months and integrated with internal services. Currently, the application is actively used by the audience and is developing within the MTS ecosystem.
For the British company Instajet, we have developed a mobile application through which you can order a business jet as easily as calling a taxi. The user submits a request, receives a fixed price, and the system selects the optimal flight. After 6 months, the number of orders increased by 18%, and the NPS loyalty index reached 30%.
We have been developing the MVP (minimum viable version of the product) for 3 months. This provides an opportunity:
Quickly enter the market and start testing the business model;
Collect feedback from real users;
Minimize risks before scaling.
We wrote more about what an MVP is and how to create a successful product in our article.
The cost depends on the set of features, the chosen platforms (iOS, Android), the design and the approach to development. For example, an MVP travel application with smart search, routes, armor, and support can be implemented on Flutter. This will allow you to cover both platforms, save your budget, and quickly test the idea on the market.
The mobile app is always at hand — it provides quick access to bookings, support chat, push notifications and offline access to important documents. The application helps to create a permanent point of contact with the customer, increase loyalty and use the device's built-in functions (geolocation, maps, payment) for a better user experience.
The team usually includes: a project manager, a designer, developers, backend engineers, QA engineers, and analysts. It is important that specialists understand the needs of tourists — routes, filters, maps, reservations, cashback, integration with third-party services. At LighTech, we form teams based on the specifics of the industry and the client's tasks.
Such solutions are in demand from travel agencies, startups in the tourism industry, airline and railway companies, online guides, tour aggregators, cashback services, insurance platforms and other travel-related projects.
