Google Destinations will help you coordinate your holiday with ease

Google makes life easier when you're wanting more information about almost everything -- from who the writers are of a new TV show to explanations of an economic concept. However, Google can sometimes lead you to an overwhelming load of information, especially when you're trying to plan a holiday from your phone.

As a result, the search engine giant has launched new tool, ‘Destinations,’ in response to a 50 percent increase in travel-related questions users are searching on their mobiles from last year alone.

Using the same algorithmic technology as the search engine, and aimed at simplifying the travel organisation process for users without them having to go to multiple websites and apps, Destinations will show results and offer recommendations on the most visited itineraries as determined by other users. Users simply have to search with Google on a mobile device for the continent, country, or state they would like to travel to and add the word “destination”.

“Destinations integrates a deep understanding of all the places in the world with Google Flights and Hotel search, so you can see available flight and hotel prices instantly,” Radhika Malpani, Engineering Director, Travel from Google said in a blog post.

Users have access to search filters, allowing them to compare prices of periods of up to six months, and plan and personalise holidays experiences. Google Destintions will also recommend the best and most cost efficient time periods for travel.

"To find a vacation that’s just your style, search for a destination and something you’d like to do there, like 'spain surfing,' 'new zealand hiking,' or 'colorado skiing.' We’ll suggest spots that fit with your hobbies and interests," Malpani adds.

"Want to avoid crowds or bad weather? Select any destination and tap the 'Explore' tab to see what the weather is like year-round and when your destination is most popular, based on historic visits from other travelers."
