Smart phones
are an essential tool for business travellers, largely owing to the fact that
information can be accessed instantly and easily. With the vast majority of corporate
travellers now organising themselves with hand-held devices, leading corporate
travel and events business, the ATPI Group, has recently introducing an
expanded and upgraded version of its popular On the Go app.
Since its
initial global launch this time last year, usage of the app has continued to
grow and the new upgraded version is already
proving to be a popular tool for busy corporate travellers. Entering its second
phase, the enhanced app now includes flight booking functionality for both
scheduled and low cost carriers and an improved mobile itinerary, where ticket
numbers are recorded in all flight bookings. The performance and speed of the
app has also been optimised, and security features have been upgraded. Also, included
in the app’s features is an itinerary display application which gives users
access to all flight bookings in their name,
while a flight status report allows users to track progress of any flight
number – either arrival or departure.
Smartphone users
can add a photo of travel documents such as passports or cards to the app safe
in the knowledge that this data is stored on the phone with an extra security
layer providing protection in case the phone is lost or stolen.
Since the
launch of its first generation On the Go app, the ATPI Group has maintained an
open dialogue with users to ensure it can respond to their feedback and take
actions based on their ever changing requirements. As a result, the business
has been consistently able to make strategic improvements to the app to ensure
clients can get to their place of work quickly and efficiently.
Available
free via iPhone, Android and Blackberry worldwide from
the respective app stores - iTunes, Google Play, and Blackberry App World, the
app can also be downloaded by any smartphone user.
Additional
features of the 'On the Go' app include a currency converter, world clock and
details of all the ATPI Group office locations and telephone numbers worldwide.
A separate destination guide section offers handy tips on where to go and what
to see in cities around the globe.
For more
information and to test out the On the Go app, visit the ATPI Group at the
Business Travel Show at Earls Court on 5th & 6th February 2013. Register now at www.businesstravelshow.com
Annapurna Circuit Trek is Nepal’s most popular long trek. It follows a classic anti-clockwise route around the back of the 80 km Annapurna Range in central Nepal. It begins at a comfortable altitude of 1100m, rising daily by gentle 300-500m stages to each overnight stop, ensuring steady acclimatisation. The scenery gradually changes from lush forests and terraced farmlands to more open country as the high peaks begin to appear and the effects of the rain shadow take effect. Lowland Hindu communities gradually give way to Buddhist communities of Tibetan origin and the architecture changes to match the harsher conditions. Residents of the numerous villages along the route will welcome you and offer clean accommodation and a variety of local and “foreign” dishes.
ReplyDeleteHighlights of the Annapurna circuit trekking include the high trail from Upper Pisang through Ghyaru and Ngawal to Braga (with its ancient Gompa) with magnificent views of Annapurna II and IV. Manang (3540m) is the largest village and caters well for trekkers while offering perfect views of Gangapurna and Annapurna III. The high pass over the Thorung La (5416m) should be tackled slowly. Its summit offers superb views in all directions, before descending 1700m to the important Buddhist and Hindu pilgrimage site of Muktinath. Kagbeni is an ancient stone village on the Kali Gandaki River and is the gateway to Upper Mustang.
