[Boston, MA] Tired of waiting in line? There may be a solution. Want to pay less? Even better.

Travel industry innovator Smart Destinations has announced the release of the Go Select Pass app. With this smartphone app, both residents and travelers to Orlando and Miami can “custom build” discount attraction passes and tour packages while saying goodbye to long lines.

“According to travel research firm PhoCusWright, 60% of visitors still buy their attraction tickets by going to the front gate, standing in long ticket lines and paying full price,” said Kevin McLaughlin, CEO and co-founder of Smart Destinations.

Instead, use your smartphone or iPad to visit GoSelectPass.com and purchase admission to popular attractions and skip the line by “using their smartphone as their admission pass,” according to a Smart Destinations press release.

“Now, you can use your phone to create your personalized, money-saving Go Select Pass while sitting at breakfast on the first day of your vacation. Then you scan the QR code on your phone at the gates,” says McLaughlin.

The only app in the world of this type can offer up to 40% savings with multiple ticket purchases. And it is not only good in Orlando and Miami – the Go Select Pass app works on 400 popular attractions in other tourist-friendly spots such as Boston, Chicago, New York, San Francisco and Hawaii.

Orlando’s 33 attractions include the big theme parks such as Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando and Sea World as well as smaller fare such as Pirates Dinner Adventure. Busch Gardens in Tampa is also included.

The Miami Seaquarium and Everglades Airboat Tours are among Miami’s 23 hot spots. Key West attractions are also on the menu.

“Smartphones have changed the way we travel in so many ways,” adds McLaughlin.

Indeed.

Besides being available on mobile devices, Smart Destinations passes are available online and at walk-up retail outlets.
