For the convenience of tourists, the Government on Monday launched a mobile application offering various travel related information including availability and charges of hotels, air fares, and local attractions of any particular place in the country.

Instead of using 10 to 12 different Apps, a tourist now can use only one App which will cater to all his or her travel related requirements in a particular city, Tourism Secretary Parvez Dewan said after launching the Android App.The application, named ‘Tripigator Android App’, has been launched by Tripigator.Com, in partnership with Incredible India.

“You will get to know how to get from one place to another, what are the attractions there, information about hotels, restaurants, ATM kiosks and other necessary details for a tourist,” Dewan said. The App will also provide information about health facilities. One can also get information such as indicative rates on real time basis so that you will be able to plan your itinerary in an effective and hassle-free way, he said.
