Innovation and technologyInnovation and technology have caused a revolution in tourism and travel. Some parts of this labor-intensive industry have been radically transformed. But still, personal service and human-to-human contact remain the core of the customer experience, which leave an everlasting impression and memory with both tourist and locals alike.

As the tourism world emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic crisis, risks still remain. The explosive and immediate growth in travel and tourism demand has left many industry segments in dire need of solutions, whether human or technological, to deal with acute shortages in human capital. The need for innovative thinking, the integration of technology, and driving the innovative spirit, to achieve new breakthrough solutions have multiplied tenfold.
