How are emerging technologies transforming the travel & tourism industry?

It’s a “Good Tourism” Insight Bites question.

Your correspondent put the question to the travel & tourism stakeholders in the “GT” network, inviting responses of no more than 300 words. (You too can join the “GT” network. Register.)

Thanks to the four respondents — professors, professionals, practitioners — who took the time to share their thoughts on the question. Their answers appear in the order received.

And thanks to Frédéric Dimanche and Kelley McClinchey for their “GT” Insight BiteX.
