2GO TRAVEL uses mobile booking as their tool to make it easy for us to access and to connect
with the destination we want to go to. Since smartphones are convenient and portable you can
easily give them a soft copy of hotel reservation , flight or railway tickets and other important
documents.
They also use automation as their tool in booking a trip that is required to make phone calls and
speak directly to a service provider. They also use Bleisure travel where it is simply the practice
of combining business travel and leisure travel in one trip.
As a tour operator you can take advantage of this trend by creating offers that entire business
travels to extend their stay for leisure.
