A new episode of Future Lanes is now live! Check it out here: https://lnkd.in/dtFUBDCW Technical debt is the travel industry’s Achilles’ heel. Outdated systems, mainframe tech, and decades of patchwork solutions are holding back true innovation. In Episode 5 of Future Lanes, Timothy O'Neil-Dunne joins Siew Hoon Yeoh and Mike McGearty to discuss why travel businesses must modernise or risk obsolescence. From AI-driven personalisation to the long-awaited “linked trip,” we explore what’s possible when the industry finally moves past its legacy constraints. But the reality is stark—businesses that fail to modernise in the next five years risk being left behind. #FutureLanes #TheRoadAhead #TheWiTPodcast #TravelTech #TechnicalDebt #AI #Innovation #Podcast WiT (Web in Travel)
