Google Destinations: The Future of Mobile Travel

Google has just launched what may be the future of mobile travel search tools: Google Destinations. Brilliantly, Google has integrated the power of their hotel, airline, and destination search into a single, mobile-friendly travel planning platform.

The completely immersive experience is simple for travelers to navigate and – ironically for a search company – intended to eliminate the need for multiple searches. As the user navigates, the search results auto-update.  One simply scrolls and Google Destinations handles all the heavy lifting.

 

It’s difficult to imagine Google designing the “search” out of search, but one look at Google Destinations makes it easy to see how this could easily become the future of travel search. To test Google Destinations, enter a destination and add the word “vacation” (e.g. “Florida Vacation”)… and Google Destinations does the rest.
