Artificial intelligence and virtual reality, protagonists in the travels of the future
The online comparison website Skyscanner has just released the first part of its study “The Future of Travel in 2024”, an analysis that reveals the technological trends that will dominate the sector in the next day;The report reveals the technological trends that will dominate the industry in the next decade, where predicting behavior through data analysis will be key to travel planning and booking.

The comparator's study analyzes how in a day
there will be tools capable of predicting our preferences through data analysis: “The market will adapt en masse to semi-automated, geo-sensitive, Big Data-based applications that will forever change the way we travel”, Filip Filipov, head of B2B at Skyscanner
The travel industry
Worldwide, the global travel industry will convert
to a more efficient and more efficient travel industry

that will change the way we travel
that will forever change the way we travel;The global travel industry will put the traveler at the center of the experience and evolve, thanks to technology, to offer ultrapersonalized packages that are easy for the consumer to access: “searching and booking travel will be as easy as buying a book on Amazon”, comments Gareth Williams, CEO of Skyscanner.
In the day 2020, each of us will have a virtual agent embedded and permanently connected to our data and preferences in the field of neuroscience, creating a “personal discovery engine”, like a digital travel companion, so that it provides real-time responses to our needs even before they occur: when it detects that we are tired it will recommend a hotel with spa service and when it senses that we need to disconnect, it will send us to an underwater hotel.
These incipient technologies are already being developed, such as in the case of Desti, a conversational travel app that learns from interactions with the user, or Sami, which monitors the user's lifestyle in terms of health.
Technological companies are developing new intuitive strategies about searching in cyberspace, where brands have access to information about users' preferences with the help of a user's preferences;
The Customized Cartograms will be more closely aligned than ever before with user preferences.
The virtual reality is postulated as the perfect traveler's ally: experiencing the sensations of a certain destination in real time before visiting it will be the most significant advance. Thanks to the haircraft technology, based on tactile feedback, we will be able to turn sounds into textures, feel the warmth of the Costa Rican sun, see the spaces of a hotel or a neighborhood in 3D or appreciate the comfort of an airplane seat.
The future of travel, according to Skyscanner, will see the evolution of wearable technology - from the recently launched Google Glass (which in a year's time will be ubiquitous) to mobile devices;
To miniature mobile devices that will be inserted into our pupils and provide real-time translation, breaking down all language barriers and the need to express ourselves in the local language when we go on vacation.
In the year 2024, there will be software that will analyze reactions and emotions to predict our travel needs: intuitive semantic search will revolutionize the way travel companies work in the next day or so, with social networks becoming more prominent thanks to the amount of data being shared.
Intelligent information systems will automatically carry out all the steps and the traveler will be limited to living the experience: “Today's travelers are resistant to online systems having information about their thoughts and feelings, however the new generations are not so concerned about this because, for them, the technologyía should work intuitively and offer them solutions without having to ask for it directly”, opines Martin Raymond, of The Future Laboratory.
