I don’t know if I was driven by FOMO or free Women In Tech tickets, but what I got out from the 2016 Web Summit was more style than substance.
I did appreciate the opportunity (and the event needs more women). Being surrounded by creative energy made me want to create more.
On the last two days of the event, I browsed through the event mobile app (that crashed so many times I was about to go insane…) to find out what was trending in the world of travel apps and if anything appealed to the cultural tourism niche.
None of them are reinventing the wheel, that’s for sure, but I deliberately skipped those who seem to be in the travel app business just to make a quick buck. Honestly, how many more travel apps do we need that promise to pair you with locals to make your trip unique?
My tech knowledge is limited, but my biggest pet peeve is a terrible user experience. And you don’t have to be a tech genius to rate a good user experience.
So what drove me to these four travel apps at the Web Summit? Their unique sales proposal and, ultimately, figuring out if they would deliver what they were selling.
They were all in different development stages and all depending on funding to get to whatever is the next level they were aiming for.
Hi! Someone in my Facebook group shared this website with us so I came to check it out.
I’m definitely enjoying the information. I’m bookmarking and will be tweeting this to
my followers! Terrific blog and fantastic style and design.
Ooh I have never heard of any of these (TBH I’m always the last to hear about apps though, I think I’m too tech dumb haha) but will check them out. JITT sounds pretty cool!
JITT is the only one that’s fully available on all devices (and you can tell they already have major funding). The other ones are great ideas and we’ll see if someone is willing to pick up the project! I had my eye on Boutique Experiences even before the guy reached out to me 😀
