Ει βούλει καλώς ακούειν, μάθε καλώς λέγειν, μαθών δε καλώς λέγειν, πειρώ καλώς πράττειν, και ούτω καρπώση το καλώς ακούειν. (Επίκτητος)

By 2022, the travel and tourism industry of the Middle East is anticipated to grow its spending on Internet of Things (IoT) technology by about 22%, as per data published ahead of the inaugural edition of Travel Forward, which will be arranged alongside Arabian Travel Market (ATM) 2020 at Dubai World Trade Centre from 19 – 22 April 2020.

With technical development constantly evolving, but indeed accelerating the quality of life, and the introduction of new innovations like artificial intelligence (AI), robotics, Virtual Reality (VR) and IoT, Colliers International forecasts that the market of Middle East online travel and hospitality will improve the global market by 17% in the coming three years, with annual sales exceeding US$100 billion by 2022.

To quote Danielle Curtis, Exhibition Director ME, Arabian Travel Market, “Technology, and the use of technology, is increasingly part of everyday life. Travel, tourism and hospitality are at the very forefront of tech innovation with many organisations investing huge sums of money to gain competitive advantage, while improving the customer journey and overall experience.”

“That is why the introduction of events such as Travel Forward are so important to our sector’s future. Enhancing our existing technology offering, Travel Forward – which will be co-located with ATM 2020 – will showcase the very latest innovations from some of the brightest minds in the travel and tourism industry, allowing delegates to test new technologies and applications that could help them boost efficiency and transform their operations.”

“With an array of high-profile keynote speakers and world-class technology experts lined up for the Travel Forward Conference Theatre, the event will connect buyers and suppliers from across the Middle East and beyond as well as facilitating face-to-face interviews and business opportunities.”

The debut Middle East edition of Travel Forward will feature the full spectrum of industry tools, starting right from promising innovations like augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), artificial intelligence (AI), robotics and machine learning, to the prevalent systems like booking engines, business management software and end-user technology.
