# TravelScanning

> Free iOS app that searches travel deals based on the activity you want to do — surfing, skiing, festivals, hiking, city breaks and more — instead of starting from a destination. Localized into 110+ languages including regional and minority languages most travel apps ignore.

TravelScanning flips the question from "where do you want to go?" to "what do you want to do?" It then scans flights, trains, buses, hostels, hotels, apartments and camping worldwide and returns 5–8 destinations ranked 0–100 against six live signals (weather, activity-specific conditions, travel time, total cost, savings vs. average and a CO₂-friendlier alternative). Built for budget travelers, especially 18–30 backpackers, with a 5-tier rewards program (Bronze → Diamond) that earns on every booking. iOS 17+, free to download, no analytics SDKs.
