Planning a trip can call for using a travel agent.  Sometimes.  When traveling to familiar places, not so much.  But when venturing to unknown lands armed with the advice of someone who has been there before is always a good idea.  Now, one travel organization is making it possible to take their agents along too.

Travel Leaders Franchise Group has secretly introduced the Personalized Travel Planner travel app, designed to arm their cruise customers, and only their cruise customers, with customized travel information.

At the time of booking, agents at Travel Leaders will provide a link that enables their clients to download the app prior to their departures. Armed with an augmented reality function, travelers point their devices at a landmark or location to instantly learn about the area’s top sites to visit, along with admission prices, hours of operation and reviews.

Destination content will be fully loaded at the time of the download so clients won’t incur any international roaming charges.
