With smartphones giving travelers an unprecedented amount of knowledge about their destinations, it\u2019s no surprise that 31% of leisure travelers and 51% of business travelers have booked their hotel rooms with their mobile devices in the last year<\/a>. Think about it, when was the last time you didn\u2019t use your smartphone to navigate a new city or location? Our everyday actions are turning increasingly digital, and vacation planning is also moving towards more mobile friendly platforms.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n

Currently, on demand services are becoming the golden standard in the travel industry. The poster-child of this trend is the popular Uber transportation service, which has spawned many imposters. With people getting used to spending more time on their phones, it only makes sense that planning your next daycation<\/a> with HotelsByDay<\/a> should also be a on-demand mobile experience. Instead of sitting down and spending hours planning an itinerary, why not have the ability to find activities and experiences on the go? We here at HotelsByDay have found five other great travel startups that will help you\u00a0utilize\u00a0your dayroom\u00a0for a spontaneous and memorable daycation.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"vayable-screens\"<\/a><\/p>\n

What else would make your daycation more authentic and unforgettable than having a local insider show you around the best parts of their town? That\u2019s exactly what Vayable does, by matching you with a confident local who can lead their own personal\u00a0tours that can feature their city\u2019s food, cultures, sights, art, and more. Who knows, maybe along the way you\u2019ll make a new friend in a new city! You really won\u2019t find a personal daycation experience like this available through other traditional tours or guides. <\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Strayboots:<\/h3>\n

\"strayboots\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Exploring the city is a fun and peaceful way to spend the day without looking like a lost tourist. Unlike most travel services that just help you navigate around your new destination, Strayboots works both as a sightseeing guide and a scavenger hunt game you can play in groups. Once you set up a new game either through its mobile app or web browser, you\u2019ll be on your way racing\u00a0against the other team looking for famous architecture and sceneries in one of the thirty supported cities.\u00a0As you reach each landmark you\u2019ll learn interesting facts or have a task to complete (usually taking a group picture). By transforming your daycation into an “Amazing Race” type style game, Strayboots elevates\u00a0sightseeing to a whole new level.<\/span><\/p>\n

So don’t sweat when planning your next daycation<\/a> with Hotelsbyday<\/a>,\u00a0and start planning your next great adventure with these startups now!<\/p>\n
