What are We Looking at?

Huge advancements in technology in the last few years has opened the doors for immense growth in the travel sector. In the next decade, it will give us new ways to enjoy travel, from the planning phase to the actual trip.

• Computers have already become an integral part of the travel agency business.

• High-speed software and hardware have made the data storage and handling process faster.

• The Internet has made it easier to reach out to more people.

• Airbnb has been the latest revolution.• As many as 37 million people used it in

2015 to book rooms. • Another huge step was mobile

check-ins, making the entire process paperless.

• Preference for private cars and charter buses.

What are the Future Prospects

Future travel will be far more advanced than it is today and these technologies will play an important part in it:

• Semantic Voice Search• Virtual Reality• Space Tourism • Man-Made Travel Environments• Driverless Vehicles and Pilot-less Planes

Semantic Voice Search

• Both Google and Apple have already introduced this feature.

• It will revolutionize the way you plan and discuss your travel.

• This technology is likely to improve with time, offering a better experience.

• In the next five years, almost all our electronic devices will have this feature.

Virtual Reality

This technology will allow you to experience, i.e., hear, see and even smell, a place months before you decide to travel there. It will enhance your travel experience.

• In the next 5 years, you'll be able to have a 3D experience of your travel destinations.

• It will prepare you better for the real thing and use your vacation time effectively.

• This process will be exactly like the 'show-room' experience that you have in retail outlets.

Space Tourism

This one should really excite those people who have a thing for adventure. Currently, a space journey can be booked for $250,000, but it only gives you few minutes in Low Earth Orbit.

• In the next ten years, you are likely to be able to stay up there for longer periods.

• It will allow you to see Earth and experience weightlessness.

Man-Made Destinations

Qatar's Desert Park and Jean-Marie Massaud's architectural concepts are examples of what we can expect from the future.

• Man-made environments will offer a new level of travel experience.

• We have seen this process starting with Disneyland.

• The growing demand for a better travel experience will boost this sector.

Impact on the Travel Industry

• The demand and preferences will largely depend on the demographic makeup and the growth of the local population.

• There will be an increase in demand for specialized services.

• Companies will look to make profits through fuel efficiency and by maintaining fleets.

• A preference towards public and private charter buses can be seen.

Charter Bus Service

The industry is currently valued at $5 billion and grew at an annual rate of 1.5% between 2011 and 2016. This growth is expected to increase in the coming years.

• Since the economy has recovered, more people will be planning vacations in future years.

• They'll be spending more on trips and vacations, including charter bus services.

• The industry will also benefit from the growing urban population in the United States.

• The aging US population and the government's green movement willalso act as catalysts.
