DIGITAL FLUENCY

Nowadays a lot of people use machines and the internet to make things easier. The way we travel has also completely changed thanks to the technology we use today. Compare and book online, Instagrammable destinations that help people to find destinations on social media where they want to travel to. Technological trends such as big data, machine learning, object recognition and Artificial Intelligence make it possible to completely personalise your journey. These smart technologies ensure that you see tailor-made advertisements. There are chatbots for all your questions. Virtual Reality will of course not replace real travel, but thanks to VR it is possible to travel virtually. Tourism companies use VR to digitally transport customers to a specific destination. This allows hotels to showcase their rooms, lobbies, and even local landmarks. When machines talk to you, you need to know how to talk back, so you can benefit from them to the fullest.
