Planning your next holiday trip? Uncle Google can help you soon!

Have you ever wanted to go on your dream trip, but did not know how to start planning for it? Where can you know about the cheapest airfares available or the best hotel to stay in?

Wave goodbye to such worries and say hello to Google Destinations, a feature that the tech giant recently activated on its mobile platforms.

Google Destinations will provide you with flight and hotel prices and help you plan a complete trip.

Google Destinations is triggered by certain searches — such as ‘Spain surfing,’ ‘New Zealand hiking,’ or ‘Colorado skiing’ — and can also be found when a user searches for a specific country, state, city or other destination. For the time being, the service is only available on the mobile platform.

Google Destinations also has activity suggestions in the form of curated itineraries, for 201 cities worldwide.

So, if you want to visit a new place but aren’t 100 per cent sure what to do there, Google hopes to give you some ideas and convince you to book that ticket.

About the booking aspect of things, Google Destinations sends users to airline websites to complete their purchase, but it does offer some handy features before that step.

In addition to estimating the cost of a flight and hotel, it allows users to switch their travel dates to help show when prices are at their lowest, or the cost at a particular time of the year.

There is also an ‘Explore’ tab to give you a snapshot of the weather at each destination, an important factor when planning a trip.

Google Destinations, initially accessible in the US and a few other countries, is expected to be launched worldwide soon.

Will it replace the more traditional ways of booking your holidays? Only time can tell!
