Credit crunch travellers save money with audio guides.

The effects of the 2008 global recession are still being felt today. News reports from Greece, Spain and several other European countries are painting a rather bleak picture of the financial future of Euro. Meanwhile, across the Atlantic, the United States has its own problems to deal with, thanks to an ongoing credit crunch. Words of doom and gloom continue to be thrown around, and many people have resigned themselves to the fact that they might not be able to afford the annual family holiday this year.

Here at Hummba, however, we believe that by making a few changes to your normal holiday routine, you can actually save money. We’ve spoken about travelling mobile in a previous blog post, and we stand by our opinion that mobile phones are becoming essential travel companions that can be used to make your life easier.

For example, why cough up your hard-earned cash to go on an overcrowded city tour? You’ll find yourself ambling along behind a tour guide with a numbered placard, and chances are you’ll miss most of the information they give you anyway. That’s if you manage to muscle your way to the front of the pack so you can actually get a look at whatever it is your tour group is being rushed past next.

Hummba’s mobile application puts you in control and lets you set the pace. Explore your favourite holiday destinations with Hummba’s location-aware audio guides and we’ll give you all the information you need about things to do and places to see around you. That’s just one of the ways you can save yourself a few Euros and get all the travel information you need in the process.

Hummba has a wide range of audio travel guides available for download on Android and iPhone. For more information about Hummba, or to look at our wide range of audio guides, visit hummba.com.
