As per a TNN report, Haryana Tourism is all set to come up with a mobile app for travel and tourism in the state. Dr. Sumita Misra, Principal Secretary, Tourism Department, Haryana, said, “We shall soon launch a mobile app for State Tourism for apple iOS and android based platforms that can be installed for free.” Haryana Tourism is now in the process of consulting companies or firms for creating the mobile apps. It is the need of the hour to offer tourist-friendly information through smartphones, she said adding that the app is in consonance with the advances in information and communications technology.
Misra said that the mobile app would give a lowdown on history of Haryana, how to get there, climate, cuisine, festivals, location map, facts at a glance, district-wise details of places to stay, eat, places of interest, art and craft and tourism related information. The app will be linked with Google Maps too, so that one is able to get driving directions for different destinations segregated as per one’s interest and preference like pilgrim destinations, heritage spots, weekend getaways, nature discovery, heritage, MICE destinations, farm tourism, highway tourism and adventure sojourn. The mobile app will also extend the facility of online room booking system, money convertor, social media sharing and registering of complaints and grievances.
Sameer Pal Srow, MD, Haryana Tourism, said that the mobile App would make it very convenient for tourists to visit Haryana as every information that they seek would be readily available through it — be it details about tour packages, places of stay that would include both Haryana Tourism properties and private hotels along with the facilities, tariffs and places of tourist interest nearby and emergency numbers.
