Would you use a super app for the travel industry?

Currently we are running the hagglestar, which helps tourist avoid taxi scams, in Asia.

But on my latest travel, I could see that super apps like Grab and Go-Jek is getting traction and is widely used around south-east Asia.

The problem is that when you are getting to a new country on your travels, where Grab is not operating, you will have to download, yet another ride-hailing app.

The Solution, could be a super app for the travel industry, which gather a bunch a different travel services into one app.

What to you guys think?

    Is it only for ride-hailing?
    In my opinion, it might be useful for a very specific audience of hardcore travelers and only if you'll provide more value than a separate ride-hailing app. Pricing comparison, for example.

    In other cases, the separate ride-hailing app will usually provide a better experience for one exact region. Not mentioning that they usually will have far more resources to work on the UI and product itself.
    Look for the value they can not provide.

      Hi Max,

      Thank you for your feedback. In terms of the Super App, I would pack everything in that travel app, not just ride-hailing. It was just a crazy though I had, but the UX on it, needs to be insane :)
