The expression refers to a category of applications designed to facilitate travel arrangements, often with the implicit or explicit intention of enabling one person to visit another, typically in the context of a romantic or social connection. These platforms often involve elements of social networking and financial arrangements to support the travel itself.
The significance of such applications lies in their potential to bridge geographical distances and foster interpersonal relationships. Historically, arranging travel for such purposes was a complex and often costly undertaking. These applications attempt to streamline the process, providing a centralized location for communication, travel planning, and, in some instances, financial support related to the trip.
