Technology is evolving and so is the way we travel,” says Frederic de Pardieu, CEO of mTrip. “Travelers are becoming more tech-savvy and smartphone apps for travel are becoming extremely relevant. With the recent growth of Android an opportunity exists for mTrip to offer a trip planning experience that Android users desire yet thus far have little access to,” says de Pardieu.
