Let’s have a look at some of the trends followed by the travel sector in 2017.

Drone Photography

This holiday season would be awesome with aerial shots offered by drones. Due to certain bitter experiences caused by inexperienced drone pilots, Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has implemented the rule which suggests that the drone owners require a license.

Personalized Travel

Travel technology app will help to provide travel technological services for each individual. Based on the previous hotel booking details, hotels can analyse the purchase behaviour of the traveler. This information can be obtained by analysing the booking placed through app or website. It helps in providing personalised information for the clients. For e.g.; MyMagic+ wristband system of Disney helps in collecting online information of the visitors.

VR Travel

Virtual Reality travel or VR travel will let the travelers explore the destinations before they place booking software. It provides the real feel of being at the destinations with the help of devices like Samsung Gear or Oculus Rift. It was initially launched by Marriott hotels. VR technology has kicked off in 2016. It is expected that more travel agents would adopt this feature when the devices are available at an affordable rate.

Cloud Passports

Right now, Australian citizens own biometric passports. It is capable of storing personal information like digital photo, biometric data and other identification details in it. This helps in avoiding the requirement of carrying the passport for each journey. Also, it helps to eliminate the chances of missing passports or getting it stolen by someone. Duplicity of the passport can also be reduced to a great extent using this travel technological advent.

Meanwhile, an app called Mobile Passport Control is being tested by border control at airports in Atlanta, Chicago, Miami, San Francisco, and Seattle. It helps the user to provide information and submit it electronically. However, the travelers are expected to carry their physical passports for the time being.
