EX: your portal thrives on internet connectivity and tech. what do you think of the relationship between travel and technology?
Technology has transformed the tourism and travel industry, both, for consumers and service providers. Just a few years ago, most Indian travellers were still planning their holidays by visiting a travel agent, and would need to rely on their own memories and notes to manage their travel itineraries. These days, new developments in consumer technology mean everything is easily accessible within just a few clicks. Advancement in technology has also created new business opportunities and changed the way service providers work as everything becomes more connected than ever before. Travellers are not just becoming smarter, but the ever expanding digital population has led to a surge in the number of online travellers who depend highly on technology for memorable travel experiences.
