eTravos: A One-stop Global Travel SaaS Platform
It is undeniable that Software as a Service (SaaS) market is growing rapidly. In fact, based on a survey conducted by BetterCloud, 73 percent of organizations who responded said that at least 80 percent of their apps will be SaaS based by 2020.Though the travel industry has evolved over the decades, there is not much innovation in this sector.
