Soon, plan your Delhi trip via a smartphone app

Now, tourists visiting the national capital will get all the information they need on their fingertips. It will be possible via a new smartphone app, launched by Delhi Tourism.

To ensure that tourists have a gala time when in Delhi, the tourism department is planning to introduce a smartphone application, where visitors will be able to access a bouquet of information regarding markets, tourist sites, restaurants, historical places, and also tour operators offering tour packages.
An official in the know-how said that the app will be developed on the lines of centre’s Incredible India app, and will be providing all information related to tourism in one place. The official also said that they are also working on a proposal, in which a strategic partner will be involved.
Senior officials from the Delhi Government, who are working on the said project, informed that the said app will be launched soon, and will be easy and simple to navigate. The officials informed that the app will further be linked with social media platforms and all the websites that are of importance.
Also, when the app starts working, it will connect users to experts, who are involved in organising heritage walks. Not only for those in Delhi for a long vacation, this application will also serve the purpose of those who are on a short trip in the city.

Delhi metro schedule, city map, and time table for bus services will also be made available in the application. It will also allow visitors to access real-time information at ease.

The app has not yet been named, and officials state that an appropriate tagline and title will be selected after collecting suggestions from the public.
