SUMMARY:A trip through travel industry technology today and tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:Watch a mid-20th century film involving any mode of transport
  and the impact of technology in the intervening years is starkly obviou
 s. Some technology facilitated travel and tourism – jumbo jets made trav
 el faster and less costly than previous modes. Some technology also redu
 ced travel\, for example\, inexpensive conference telecom. What technolo
 gies are impacting or about to impact travel and tourism today and what 
 effect will they have? This discussion will survey current important dev
 elopments\, such as:\n\n• What will be the impact of virtual and augment
 ed reality – will it promote travel or be a substitute for it?\n• How wi
 ll legal systems handle technologies\, such as Uber or Airbnb\, that pot
 entially disrupt existing regulatory systems?\n• Will the interplay betw
 een big data and technology facilitate secure travel – or endanger it?
