Travel tech: the term of the moment in the travel industry
Who hasn't spent hours looking for flights to find the cheapest one, on the best dates and avoiding many stopovers? For some time now, we have been using platforms that, through their search engines, help us find our ideal vacations. The use of technology has given rise to new concepts such as travel tech.
Technological advances have caused travel startups to proliferate. And large corporations have seen in these companies the opportunity to upgrade and improve their service.
The tourism industry is moving fast and in order to keep reinventing itself, it relies on the use of these types of technological solutions such as artificial intelligence, Blockchain, Virtual Reality or the Internet of things, which provide a wider, more attractive, efficient and sustainable tourism offer. And in this way to meet the needs of travelers.
