OTS - BookSmart24: New app for environmentally conscious travel finds the lowest CO2 route to the desired destination
2022. October 03. 16:20
London, 3 October, 2022 (APA/OTS) - While existing travel websites
primarily display the cheapest or fastest travel option, the new
BookSmart24 app also finds the most CO2- and emission-efficient
variant for the chosen route. The platform enables users to make
smart and responsible booking decisions and to realize that
traveling in an environmentally conscious manner does not
necessarily have to be more expensive.

SmartChoice: CO2-reduced travel does not have to be more
expensive
BookSmart24 puts the avoidance of CO2 and other harmful
emissions in the foreground. The result is the BookSmart24
SmartChoice: It shows users how to make a comfortable and at the
same time environmentally friendly and cost-saving booking
decision. Thanks to the clear and simple operation of the app, the
end consumer receives information on the environmental impact of
his or her journey and also sees at a glance: flying more
environmentally conscious does not mean that it has to be much more
expensive.The cost difference to the more CO2-efficient route is
often only slight.
SmartChoice prefers routes with the lowest CO2 impact and is
constantly developing further
The platform calculates and compares prices, travel duration,
and the individual CO2 impact of each route based on proprietary
algorithms. SmartChoice prioritizes and recommends the routes with
the lowest carbon footprint while ensuring that fares and trip
durations remain within an average value expected for the route in
question. SmartChoice is constantly evolving and adapting to the
fast changing mobility industry by taking into account additional
parameters such as biofuels or the sustaiability of airports or
train stations. A so far worldwide unique concept.
Next step: Offers for world-wide high-speed train services
For now, BookSmart24 offers its services for air routes. Soon,
the focus will also be on high-speed trains around the world,
which will be included in SmartChoice. This will provide consumers
with combined offers from train and flight connections. The basic
structure for a global high-speed train GDS (Global Distribution
System) have already been installed on the platform and the service
will be available soon. In a further step, urban multi-mobility
concepts (public transport, car sharing, etc.) will be integrated
into the platform in order to offer sustainable door-to-door travel
worldwide.
The goal: to establish BookSmart24 as the leading global
reference platform for more sustainable travel.
