Our travel app development process
The app type, your business needs, and users’ pains determine the strategy we pick for creating your product. The team also takes into account the current market situation, potential competitors, trends, etc. All these factors impact our choice of steps and tech stack.
In-depth research
Information and careful planning are the key to understanding what you really need. Our team checks the current demands and efficient ways to fulfill them. Then creates a roadmap.
UX/UI design to simplify complex data
Mobile apps for tourism are often loaded with data: places, prices, times, ratings, reviews, and whatnot. Everything should be easy to navigate and easy to notice. We incorporate clear layouts with glanceable dashboards where people can quickly grasp crucial info.
Mobile-first approach
The team prioritizes the app development for mobile devices and small screens over tablets and web versions. This gives a content-focused user experience where all distracting elements are removed. So your app has optimal performance and can scale later.
Third-party APIs
We integrate third-party services such as payment providers or geolocation to enhance the user workflow. These services are an industry standard, with necessary security features. Speaking of security, we add 2FA and passwordless login for protection.
Release & monitoring
After rigorous testing, we release the mobile app for traveling in the stores. The team follows official guidelines to speed up the process and then monitors the situation: number of users, issues, reports, metrics, etc.
Scaling & maintenance
We keep an eye on the app even after the deployment. If necessary, the team releases updates and feature upgrades, as well as security patches. This helps you stay ahead of the competitors.
Why develop a mobile travel app?
Such apps make workflows convenient, but they are also your powerful business assets. For example, more than 50% of hotel bookings are placed through mobile apps online. So this is a real opportunity for you to expand your services into the web space, attracting more clients.
Enriched user experience, automated processes, and increased retention are not enough for you to make a decision, here are a few more reasons.
- Upselling & cross-selling
With the help of an application, you can recommend add-ons like car rentals, tours, or room upgrades based on real-time context. They won’t look like cheap ads popping out of the screen.
People just make another decision about whether they need that service or not. Maybe they haven’t thought about them. In-app purchases are another way of raising income with ancillary services (extra baggage, lounge access, guided tours).- Support for omnichannel strategy
To create a cohesive brand experience, you can integrate the travel app with the website, social media, physical locations (e.g., kiosks, airport desks), and call centers.
Together with features like “save on web, book on app” or sync across devices, it complements the customer-centric approach. People receive relevant information regardless of the channel.- Data collection & analytics
You can gather insights into user behavior, popular destinations, booking patterns, and pain points with built-in analytics. Through the app, you check what’s really in demand and modify the services to fulfill them. Also, it helps provide a high level of personalization for each user based on the collected data.
- Reduce manual work
Self-service features like mobile check-in, digital boarding passes, itinerary updates, and chatbots take a great deal off your staff’s shoulders. What normally took half an hour now takes mere minutes and a few taps. And your experts can devote their time to more pressing needs. This impacts UX as well because people don’t need to wait for long.

Advantages of our travel mobile apps
Apps for tourism bring real value to the users, and we strive to deliver it through our services. Easy-to-navigate designs, convenient workflows, features that help reach goals—all these benefits influence the product's success. At the same time, our team pays attention to your objectives.
Client-centered approach
We make sure that all users from your target audience can access services anytime, anywhere—booking flights, checking in, managing itineraries, or finding local attractions. Accessibility and ease of use are our priorities, so we implement design standards like WCAG. All elements are adapted to the small screens.
Global reach & localization
Depending on the target market, we adapt cultural and regulatory aspects of the app so that people don’t feel alienated. This includes features, colors, illustrations, texts, etc. What’s more, the team creates a localization if necessary that reflects the language specifics. It increases the users’ trust and brand recognition in the new markets.
High performance & optimization
We optimize the travel app so that all those listings, images, reviews, and whatnot are glanceable. Numbers are transformed into convenient dashboards, and they don’t confuse the users. Even on different screen sizes. What’s more, the team implements tools that make the mobile app resistant to high load. It stays stable.
Our technology stack for travel app development
We utilize tried-and-tested, industry-standard frameworks and technologies to develop apps that can handle multiple users, heavy load, and hundreds of accommodation offers. The stack takes into account business requirements, security imperatives, and scalability with a view to driving each project to success.
In case there are special requirements, i.e., integration with an existing CMS, we turn to bespoke tools to fulfill them. Or even create our own tools to accelerate the development.
iOS development
Our developers build apps that operate on every Apple device, such as the iPhone and iPad, with industry-leading tools such as Swift, Swift UI, Xcode, and others. Such technologies allow us to meet Apple's high standards of quality as well as surprise users with the speed and ease of new features.
Android development
This OS has a large variety of devices, including tablets and smartphones. Java and Kotlin are our go-to tools here for developing feature-packed and scalable applications. Since Android is installed on so many devices, our development process here includes more testing on different screen sizes, resolutions, and OS versions.
Cross-platform development
We utilize Flutter for applications that run on iOS and Android. Each platform has its specific features and requirements. However, with a single code base on Flutter, we can create a travel mobile app that delivers a near-native experience on both platforms. Moreover, this approach helps us save time and effort because most tasks can be solved by one development team.
Custom development tools
If you have specific requirements or want to integrate existing systems, we take advantage of a custom toolkit. The team manages APIs with GraphQL, and, for analytics and real-time databases, they leverage Firebase. To strengthen the client-side of the app, we opt for Node.js. All these technologies are flexible and easy to adapt when it comes to unique business needs.
Testing & DevOps
For faster delivery and improved quality, we automate CI/CD pipelines with Jenkins and GitHub Actions. We also do different tests like usability, A/B, performance, load, etc. In this case, the team leverages TestFlight, Espresso, JUnit, and Appium.
Expert travel app development
Travel industry requires the ability to represent unique cultural features in a captivating way and, at the same time, handle tons of data with ease. Our team is experienced in both aspects. Real-life cases from our portfolio with measurable results speak for themselves.
For example, for the Navi Africa app, we challenged stereotypes about Africa and authentically showcased the diverse cultures and local experiences.
