UNITED STATES – With smart phones in nearly every consumer’s hands, travel industry experts are strategically focused on “going mobile.” Timed perfectly alongside this ‘shift’, is the launch of GoingPlaces, a new travel inspiration app, now available for download in the App Store.

According to a recent article published on Tech.co, by Andrei Klubnikin, 45% of smartphone holders use applications while planning a holiday and 15% of leisure travelers download tourism apps prior to their trips. In addition, mobile applications are set to hit the 65 billion download mark in 2016, priming the travel industry to strategize, reshape and claim their piece of the pie.

GoingPlaces has partnered with the experienced development team at Pinxter, Inc. to launch an app that will capture users from day one. “It’s all about accessibility and ease,” says Pinxter, Inc.

GoingPlaces allows users to view thousands of captivating travel photos, of destinations worldwide, and connect directly with travel suppliers, all with the ease of a swipe.

Our goal for GoingPlaces is to encourage users to expand their bucket lists, discover new places and be inspired to travel more.”
