Mobile has changed the way people view travel. Quick decision-making, fast bookings and pertinent travel data at their fingertips are imperative if travel companies want a more dynamic customer base, provide users with the best experiences, and even upsell at specific points. You need more than just a listing – you need a scalable and dynamic travel mobile app that is responsive and compels your customers to complete transactions. Pratra provides fully functional mobile apps with high conversion rates and quick response times.
However, the travel sector is highly diverse and needs products that can satisfy the needs of various clients due to varied business models, processes and technologies. Besides, the industry’s heterogeneity makes adopting only a single product challenging.
That is why Pratra creates custom travel apps to meet unique industry preferences to provide a seamless platform and fill market gaps quickly.
Developing the App
Pratra’s Travel app development services refer to the process of creating mobile applications specifically designed for the travel industry. These apps can help travellers plan, organize, and book their trips and provide information and recommendations for destinations, accommodations, and activities.
Broadly, travel apps help in flight and hotel booking, where users can search and book flights and hotels directly from the app. Users can create itineraries, manage travel documents, and receive notifications for flight delays or cancellations. Moreover, customers can also navigate to their destination and get directions to points of interest.
The Process
Our team of developers, designers, and project managers work together to create an app that meets the specific needs of the travel industry. The process usually includes market research, user experience design, development, testing, and deployment.
-
Discovery and Research
In this stage, our team conducts market research to understand the current trends, user behaviour, and needs in the travel industry. This involves analysing the competition, identifying the target audience, and defining the app's core features and functionality.

Development
Travel app development experts at Pratra build the app's front-end and back-end functionality using specific programming languages. The team will also integrate APIs and third-party services to provide functionalities such as booking, payments, and maps.

Deployment
The app is released into online shops such as the Apple App Store and Google Play Store. The submissions also ensure that the app meets their guidelines and publishing it for users to download and use.

User Experience (UX) and User Interface (UI) Design
In this stage, wireframes, prototypes, and designs are created that represent the user journey, interface, and visual elements of the app. It also involves collaboration between designers and developers to ensure that the app's design is functional, intuitive, and visually appealing.
-
Quality Assurance (QA) and Testing
An important part of an app development process, tests are conducted to check the app's functionality and user experience, ensuring that it is bug-free and responsive. This also involves evaluating the app on different devices and operating systems to ensure compatibility.
-
Maintenance and Updates
Our travel app development process goes beyond simply creating and publishing the software. We also monitor the app's performance, fixing any bugs or issues that may arise and releasing regular updates to improve the app's functionality and user experience.
Our comprehensive process requires a team of experts with expertise in different areas, including market research, UX/UI design, development, testing, and deployment.
