Are you planning your next vacation? Are you wondering where you can make bookings for your travel? With the advancement of internet, travel bookings have shifted from offline bookings to online bookings. It is possible to make all bookings on the internet. With most users shifting to smartphones, there are a range of travel booking apps that can be used for making these bookings.

A travel booking app is an app that provides a user access to hotels or flights for bookings. These apps store a limited inventory of hotels and have access to flight, bus and rail servers to help with bookings. Using apps for travel reduces the hassle of finding an agent and figuring out the authenticity and veracity of a hotel or a package. Most travel apps also have a review system which further helps travellers.

Here are 5 apps to help you with your travel bookings:
