Destinia.com announced a revamped, more modern and faster website last month. On top of the slicker design, the website also offers fully integrated search tools and a completely responsive design, adaptable to every device. Additionally, the online travel agency has launched a renovated mobile and new tablet app.
Destinia.com offers multilingual services in multiple markets and comprises a number of innovative features. "Adapting to the preferences of each market, and offering interesting recommendations for them is a key element in our service," Amuda Goueli, CEO and co-founder of Destinia.com, comments. "We see a responsive website as an obligation rather than an option, and we’ve applied this principle of excellence to our mobile and tablet app as well, because the mobile user experience is undoubtedly better with native apps." Looking to deliver a 360-degree experience, Destinia.com has also updated its mobile app, and is finalising details for a tablet version. The new app allows on the go travellers the functionality to rent a car, as well as managing their current bookings, and have handy all the necessary information for their trip. The updated app also has a built-in GPS system, which detects flights from the closest airport to the user, as well as hotels in the vicinity at the traveller’s location at their destination. Hotel search can also be filtered by TripAdvisor ratings and search preferences such as price and proximity."Modern travellers use multiple gadgets and we want to offer them an optimum and consistent user experience, regardless of their location. In the Middle East and North Africa region, web traffic from mobile devices, including phones and tablets, is higher than in Europe. In Saudi Arabia and the UAE, it has reached 64 and 61 percent respectively, and in 2014 reservations through [mobile devices] reached 24 per cent in Saudi Arabia and 22 per cent in the UAE." Guaranteeing the safest possible experience, Destinia.com’s reservation system offers exceptional anti-fraud capacity as well as one of the safest protections and data encrypting systems, ensuring the privacy of customers isn’t jeopardised.The Destinia.com app, working for iPhone and Android devices, is free of charge, and allows travellers to have access to more than 300,000 hotels and 600 airlines all around the world, at the best rates.
