The apps facilitate users to search and book hotels, flights, restaurants, tourist spots, and cab services. Travel booking apps earn a percentage of bookings made through their apps. Apps like Expedia and Booking.com use this revenue model.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_In-App_Advertisements\"><\/span><strong>2. <\/strong><strong>In-App Advertisements<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Travel apps with a large user base use this monetization strategy. It involves displaying advertisements, such as banner ads, sponsored content, or video ads, within the application. These ads promote travel-related services and generate income from impressions, clicks, and engagement. Here, the app provides space for brands to promote their products and services.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"3_Premium_Plans\"><\/span><strong>3. <\/strong><strong>Premium Plans<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The premium plan is another popular monetization strategy used by travel apps like SkyScanner<strong>. <\/strong>Here, a basic version of the app is free, and advanced and exclusive content is available via subscription.
