Travel News: Contiki Launches ‘Shout’, an Innovative New iPhone App for Travelers
Travel tools and group timelines keep travelers connected before, during and after their trip.
Contiki Vacations, the worldwide leader in fun travel packages for 18-35’s, is excited to announce the launch of their new iPhone app ‘Shout’, the first of its kind for the brand. A perfect on-the-go companion for any Contiki traveler, Shout is free to download and is the best way for Contiki travelers to connect with each other prior to, during and after their trip.
Seriously social:
Pre-departure, guests can download the app and set up a profile to connect with other travelers before their bags are even packed, through an extension of Contiki’s MeetUps tool. While on the trip, the app’s main feature is its timeline, where passengers on a specific trip can upload photos, videos and messages to share with their fellow travelers and create a collaborative story of their trip together, as well as post to their individual Facebook and Twitter accounts so family and friends follow the Contiki adventure as well.
No need for crazy roaming charges either – passengers can add photos and videos when offline, which will be automatically uploaded once in a WiFi area and stamped with the original date and time, offering a real-time social experience. Once the trip comes to an end, the Contiki journey continues with fellow travelers, as the app can still be accessed and used as an archive of all their incredible memories.
