Find out how we empowered travelers and city officials with an intuitive iOS and Android mobile app and efficient admin panel, driving engagement and operational efficiency.
We’ve been working with officials from a major capital city to make traveling there easier. Because of privacy rules, we can’t reveal the city name, but we still wanted to share our work and the results our client’s received.
A major Capital City needed to modernize its tourism experience by creating a feature-rich mobile app and an efficient admin panel to manage tours, bookings, and traveler feedback.
We developed a dual-platform solution - a mobile app for tourists and a web-based admin panel - using React Native and Laravel. The app streamlined tour bookings, payments, and city exploration, while the admin panel simplified management tasks.
The app saw a big increase in user sign-ups and tour bookings, while the admin panel reduced operational workload by 50% and improved tour guide performance, increasing reservations by 25%.

This bustling metropolitan hub faced several challenges that were slowing down its ability to attract and retain tourists, impacting the local economy and the traveler experience. These included:
- Outdated systems: Existing tools for tourism management were inefficient and lacked modern features.
- Poor user experience: Travelers struggled to find and book tours, access city information, and make payments seamlessly.
- Operational inefficiencies: Managing tours, verifying guides, and handling traveler feedback was time-consuming and difficult.
- Limited visibility for local businesses: Local stores and cultural events lacked a platform to showcase their offerings to tourists.
We created a professional solution to address these challenges, consisting of a mobile app for travelers and a web-based admin panel for city officials, tour guides, and business owners. Here’s how we transformed the city’s tourism experience:
We designed an intuitive mobile app for iOS and Android that allowed travelers to explore the city, book tours, and access essential information with ease. The app featured a clean, visually appealing interface with vibrant colors and high-quality images that reflected the city’s unique style.
Why this matters: A user-friendly app reduces friction for travelers, leading to higher engagement and satisfaction. By making it easy for users to navigate and find what they need, we increased the likelihood of repeat usage and positive reviews.
Technical deep dive: Using React Native, we built a high-performance app for both platforms with a single codebase, ensuring faster development and easier maintenance.
The app simplified the tour booking process, allowing users to browse, reserve, and pay for tours in just a few clicks. We integrated multiple payment options, including credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay, ensuring secure and hassle-free transactions.
Why this matters: Simplifying the booking and payment process reduces cart abandonment rates and increases conversions. By offering multiple payment options, we catered to a wider audience, making the app more accessible and user-friendly.
We built a web-based admin panel using Laravel, enabling city officials to manage tours, verify guides, and handle traveler feedback efficiently. The panel also provided real-time insights into app performance and user activity.
Why this matters: An efficient admin panel reduces the workload for city officials, allowing them to focus on improving services rather than managing tedious tasks. Real-time insights also enabled data-driven decision-making, helping the city optimize its tourism strategy.
Technical deep dive: Laravel’s flexibility and clean codebase allowed us to create a secure and scalable admin panel that seamlessly integrated with the mobile app.
The app included dedicated sections for local businesses and city events, allowing them to showcase their offerings to tourists. Businesses could create profiles, upload images, and highlight their unique features, while travelers could easily discover and support local culture.
Why this matters: By promoting local businesses and events, the app not only enhanced the traveler experience but also contributed to the local economy. This feature encouraged travelers to explore beyond the usual tourist spots, creating a more immersive experience.
We reimagined how tours were presented in the app, making them visually appealing and easy to book. Each tour featured ratings, detailed descriptions, and a prominent reservation button, encouraging users to explore and book with confidence.
Why this matters: An engaging tour display increases the likelihood of bookings by making the process intuitive and appealing. By highlighting key information like ratings and descriptions, we helped users make informed decisions quickly.
