✈️ How Travel & Tourism Brands Are Launching Apps Without Developers

Travel

Mobile travel bookings are expected to reach $620 billion globally by 2026 (Allied Market Research). From boutique travel agencies to local tour guides and global experience platforms, the travel industry is being transformed by digital expectations. Today’s traveller wants personalized itineraries, mobile bookings, real-time updates, and self-guided access—all from their smartphone.

But building an app to deliver that experience? Traditionally slow, expensive, and developer-dependent.

Not anymore. With Imagine.bo, non-technical founders in travel and tourism are now launching professional-grade, fully functional, scalable apps in days—without hiring developers or writing a single line of code. 61% of small travel businesses say tech costs prevent them from scaling (Phocuswright, 2023)

47% of boutique travel companies report losing bookings due to poor online experience (Skift Research, 2024).


🌍 The Travel Industry’s Tech Problem

Travel

Whether you’re an adventure tour guide or run a destination management company, chances are you’ve faced this:

  • Paying thousands to build a custom app or booking platform
  • Waiting months for updates or bug fixes
  • Using outdated plugins that don’t work on mobile
  • Losing bookings because the experience isn’t seamless

Imagine.bo eliminates all that. It gives travel brands the power to go digital—faster, easier, and without the tech struggle.
