Ventoura Helps Solo Travelers Meet Friends While Abroad

— September 14, 2016 — World
Ventoura is an intuitive friend-finding app that caters specifically to solo travelers looking to meet new people while abroad. Available for both iOS and Android operating systems, the mobile platform lets users chat with locals living in a city they plan to visit before departure and during their stay, ultimately connecting them to those with like-minded interests. Once users have planned a trip. they are matched with a personal tour guide who will make their travel experience an authentic one.

Ideal for single professionals who are looking to make the most of a solo vacation, Ventoura connects travelers with knowledgeable locals who can show them everything a foreign city has to offer without relying on traditional guidebooks or tourist destinations.

The app features a built-in messaging platform and those acting as guides can accept bookings based on a schedule that best works for them -- making the platform flexible for both travelers and locals.
Trend Themes
1. Personal Tour Guide Apps - With the rise of solo travel, there is an opportunity for companies to create more personal tour guide apps that connect travelers with likeminded locals and provide an authentic travel experience.
2. Friend-finding Apps - As more people travel alone and seek social experiences, there is an opportunity for more friend-finding apps to be developed that provide a platform for like-minded people to connect and experience new destinations together.
3. Smart Messaging Platforms - The development of smart messaging platforms that can connect travelers with locals based on interests and availability can create an opportunity for personal tour guide apps and friend-finding apps to improve the customer experience.
Industry Implications
1. Travel and Tourism - The travel and tourism industry can continue to innovate by partnering with personal tour guide app developers to offer more authentic and personalized travel experiences for travelers.
2. Technology - With the rise of personal tour guide and friend-finding apps, there is an opportunity for technology companies to develop platforms that can connect like-minded travelers with locals and improve the customer experience.
3. Hospitality - Hotels and other hospitality businesses can partner with personal tour guide app developers to offer additional services to travelers, creating a more personalized experience and standing out from competitors.
