A Look to New Tools from Google Benefiting Travellers
In the past, it was tedious to read reviews and compare prices when searching for hotels on a mobile device. Google, however, has introduced a new hotel browsing feature that is mobile-friendly, enhancing the user experience significantly. If a user searches for ‘Hotels in Delhi’ and clicks on ‘view more,’ they can view each property in a swipeable story format.
Once users have finished exploring, they can simply swipe up to continue browsing. Users can browse photos of the hotel, save them for later, access more information about the surrounding area, and review a summary of the hotel’s noteworthy features.
A price guarantee badge, introduced in the US as a pilot program, is the most intriguing feature among the new features. Google’s monitoring of daily price changes allows users to identify the lowest price before takeoff for a flight with this feature. The new badge provides a more specific indication of the lowest price available, rather than just indicating low, typical, or high prices.
Activities to do
In the final feature, users will be able to discover the top attractions and experiences close to their vacation destinations. Users will be able to see prices directly on the listing of an attraction or tour company when searching for them and book tickets easily, according to Google. Additionally, attractions will include suggestions for similar experiences, so users can explore more options.
