Musement launches curated activities app to cure the ills of supermarket list shopping
Digital travel companion Musement has launched a new personal concierge app that provides travellers with a curated list of in-destination activities.
The app claims to be the antidote to supermarket-style shopping by honing down to between three and five of the best recommendations for the user.
It says this will reduce the amount of time and hassle customers experience when trying to find the perfect experience from endless lists.
The app has been listed by Apple as one of the ‘Best Apps to Start 2016’ in 21 countries in its sector – travel activities – and is among the most downloaded travel app in six countries.
As well as the machine-driven recommendation engine, Musement also offers real-time interaction with hotel concierges who can attend to individual needs.
Customers can secure a booking on a single platform for activities like sporting events, concerts and exhibitions, negating the need to search across multiple sites.
Providers of tours and activities are able to use a self-service, editorially controlled booking platform on which to promote their product and manage their listings.
API technology allows organisers to accept instant bookings on site, online via affiliates, widgets and co-branded promotions.
There is also an offline front desk booking intranet for hotels and travel agencies to seamlessly add trips and in-destination activities to their customers itineraries.
Alessandro Petazzi, co founder and chief executive of Musement, said: “In this segment of the travel industry that commands over $37 billion yearly from EU travellers alone, the activities market has until now proven difficult to navigate for many companies.
“With Musement’s new mobile app, the challenge to offer users a reason to book activities when they are at a destination on their mobile rather than offline has been addressed.
“We’ve added real value to the purchasing experience thanks to unique editorial content and time saving lists of the top activities in any given city.”
“Our personal concierge app is a direct result of the demands of an increasingly sophisticated traveller who seeks out authentic, tailor-made experiences and relies on their mobile device for access to information and much more.
“The app offers a simple, fast, and secure way for travellers to discover and book new experiences from a wide range of verticals either in advance or on the go.”
“Moreover, we are helping to democratise the luxury travel experience. We are confident that the increasingly high demands of travellers worldwide will be met and exceeded with our app, bringing a world first, 5 star concierge service to travellers from all walks of life.
Musement launched in 2013 and now operates in 300 cities across 50 countries in seven languages worldwide.
