Google wants to become a travel agency
The search engine of Google has always been a recurring option to find all the information about travel , vacations and transportes And, with your search experience and with access to practically all web pages, it is the best option to find valid results Now, its managers go one step further, transforming their mobile search engine into a travel agencywhere you can not only find information, but already planned trips.
How to get Google Destinations to Google Search, the application of searches through the Internet from the mobile of this company. In it the user can carry out a general search to start planning vacations or trips choosing from a destination as wide as a continent, a country or a state Or even close a specific and detailed itinerary Simply access the search engine and write the place plus the word vacation or destinationWith this, Google is told to display this new feature.
In this way, the result is transformed into a list of suggestions with possible tourist destinations related to the search. The results themselves already show a small description and an estimate of flight and accommodation prices, allowing you to quickly compare the different destinations and options.In addition, it is possible to search for activities such as “surfing in Spain” to find places where you can practice. But Google Destinations has many more options up its sleeve.
By clicking on the bar that appears under the search, the user can specify prices, filters and travel days In this way, It is possible to specify the holidays much more by choosing, in the Dates tab, if searches can be carried out without setting days, or by establishing a specific month for the search. This may affect the final price of the holiday, which can also be specified through its own tab. With this, the user can narrow down to what amount he is willing to pay, thus automatically filtering all the results found so far. Next to the price and dates, there is also a interest tab, where you can find more destinations taking into account activities and practices that the user may like.
Once a destination for the trip has been selected, the user accesses two tabs One of them is Explore, with which you can learn very useful statistical data for all tourists Thus, in addition to descriptions and important places to visit, it is possible to know the history of the information of the weather of the last year to predict the weather of the place. Along with this, it is possible to see the information of traffic on foot or the number of people you can meet when traveling to that place at one time or another of the year. The other tab, Plan the trip, allows the user to specify the total expense that is arranged to assume to check which flight and hotel options exist. In addition, by clicking on the pencil icon, it is possible to specify issues such as scales,number of hotel stars and other criteria prior to the trip.All these changes modify the list of results to specify prices and keep the search updated
Google Destinations, it also has information on previous trips from other users. We must not forget that the company records every step we take through services such as Google MapsThis helps to know which are the most popular places previously visited, offering a section with all of them for the person who is planning their vacations, or even atourist route and itineraries already closed
Now, for the moment, Google Destinations will only initially be available to users of USA. We will have to wait, even without a specific date, to know the landing of this function in Spain.
