How app!
I am no tech junkie but I like to be in tuned with the latest updates that technology has to offer. During my business travels, I make sure that I have my iPad along with my laptop and smart phone to ensure that I am always plugged in.
So you can imagine how my cabin bag looks like with these gadgets, not including my camera and other writing needs which of course, have to be removed individually during the airport scanning checks. And I am sure that as agents and professionals in the travel trade, you can't run away from being a part of these tech advances, because of the need to know the latest trends, prices, to
reply to enquiries, to ensure that your clients back home or wherever they are, receive acknowledgement and replies from you.
But are these truly necessary? When it comes to smart phones and applications made available for these devices, which are the best apps that you can rely on? With the crashing in on apps varieties and the numerous selections available on the apps store, one can be too spoilt for choice.
