Remember the days when travel itineraries were nothing more than a stack of papers stuffed into your carry-on? We certainly do. But oh, how times have changed! The world of travel planning has undergone a seismic shift, and we’re here to guide you through this fascinating journey from crumpled printouts to sleek, personalised apps.

The era of paper itineraries: a trip down memory lane

Cast your mind back to the not-so-distant past. Travel agents and tour operators spent hours meticulously crafting itineraries, printing them out, and handing them over in hefty folders. Clients lugged these around, desperately hoping not to lose that all-important piece of paper with their hotel details scribbled on it.

It wasn’t just the risk of losing vital information that made paper itineraries a headache. Updates? Forget about it. Once that itinerary was printed, any changes meant a frantic phone call and a mad dash to the hotel business centre to print new pages. Not exactly the stress-free start to a holiday we all dream of, eh?

The digital dawn: early steps into the future

As the digital age dawned, travel planning began to shift. Email itineraries became the norm, and suddenly, updates didn’t require a forest’s worth of paper. But let’s be honest: trawling through a 20-page PDF on your phone while trying to navigate the streets of Rome isn’t anyone’s idea of fun.

These early digital solutions were a step in the right direction, but they still left a lot to be desired. Enter the era of personalised travel apps, and suddenly, the game changed entirely.

Welcome to the future: personalised travel apps

Now, we’re not ones to blow our own trumpet, but when it comes to personalised travel apps, Vamoos is leading the charge. We’ve taken all the headaches of traditional itinerary planning and tossed them out the window (along with those bulky folders).

Imagine an app that not only holds your entire itinerary but brings it to life with stunning visuals. That’s our StoryBoard feature in a nutshell. It’s not just a list of times and places; it’s an immersive journey through your upcoming adventure.

But we didn’t stop there. Oh no. We thought, “What if clients could access all their travel documents in one place, even without an internet connection?” So we made it happen with our Documents feature. Boarding passes, hotel reservations, travel insurance – it’s all there, right at your fingertips.

Now, let’s talk about real-time updates. Remember those frantic phone calls about itinerary changes? With Vamoos, they’re a thing of the past. Our Notifications feature means you can keep your clients in the loop with just a few taps.

The Vamoos Difference: more than just an app

We could go on about our features until the cows come home (and believe us, we have plenty more up our sleeves – features that is, not cows). But what really sets Vamoos apart is how it’s revolutionising the relationship between travel companies and their clients.

Take Black Tomato, for instance. This luxury tour operator was drowning in paperwork before it found Vamoos. Now? It’s delivering a seamless, high-end digital experience that matches its brand perfectly. As they put it, “Vamoos is used to improve the customer journey and give our clients an alternative to carrying physical documents around with them.”

Or consider Original Travel. They’ve been in the game for 16 years, but Vamoos has helped them stay at the cutting edge. Their Technology Manager, Gustav, said: “Looking into it a bit further showed that it was a straightforward and easy-to-use app, so we decided to go for it. Since then, we have been using it more and more, and the majority of our clients are actively using the app.”

The future is here, and it’s personalised

The evolution of travel itineraries isn’t just about moving from paper to digital. It’s about creating a more engaging, more personalised, and ultimately more enjoyable travel experience. With Vamoos, travel companies can offer their clients a taste of their adventure before they’ve even left home, keep them informed and excited throughout their journey, and leave them with lasting memories (and hopefully, a desire to book their next trip!).

So, are you ready to be part of the travel-planning revolution?

After all, in the world of travel, the journey begins long before the plane takes off – and with Vamoos, it’s a journey that’s smoother, more exciting, and more memorable than ever before.
