BeWelcome.org announces the release of its first Android app connecting travelers and local hosts.
Since it was made available for early access testing in the PlayStore in October 2020, the app has received positive feedback. Once installed, all it takes to join the BeWelcome community and connect with other members is to register a free BeWelcome account, either through the app or on www.bewelcome.org, and create a profile.
BeWelcome spokesperson Anja believes the app gives those planning travel after the COVID-19 lockdowns another great reason to join BeWelcome.
Anja describes the new app as “a true lifesaver for travelers and hosts alike who use mobile devices and value intercultural hospitality exchange.”
The app, like the website itself, is a means to find hosts at your next travel destination. Through the app you can browse hosts offering a place to stay in countries, cities, towns and villages around the globe. You can check out whether members are planned any activities in your vicinity or in the places you are travelling to. “For our internationally oriented members who cannot travel due to the COVID, we have introduced online activities and a permanent chatroom for our members,” Anja says.
BeWelcome invites anyone interested in hospitality exchange to explore the app by installing it from Google PlayStore, or by downloading it directly from BeWelcome.org
