Technology changes the future of the tourism industry
Tourism industry is facing one of the most difficult times in decades with the expansion of the COVID-19 at a global scale. Most of the businesses were forced to shut down, some others found different ways to transform their business models and others have focused all the energies on being prepared to start reactivating as soon as they can.
We have been forced to stop travelling for health reasons. This break will only give us the time to rethink our business models and learn how to offer better travel experiences, smart and sustainable destination offers and tourism products that are really satisfying the needs of consumers. A more demanding consumer is expecting to travel back again and the ones that are listening and ready to innovate are the ones who will restart for sure.
