The turmoil in Corona (COVID-19) has had a big influence on the hospitality and travel industry. (Partial) lockdowns and travel bans have been placed in effect by several nations. Many competitions have been postponed, including the UEFA EURO 2020, the Olympic Games and the ITB Berlin, the world's biggest travel trade show. A large amount of corporate activities and vacation outings have had to be delayed or cancelled due to work uncertainties and business limitations. Many travel firms are facing a dramatic drop in business. For instance, airlines slash their schedule by as much as 50 percent (or more) and restaurants and hotels worldwide face occupancy drops of up to 90 percent and are even ordered to close in some cases.

Travel & Hospitality AI Market Drivers

Facial Recognition regulating Travel Facilities

Technologies including facial recognition offer hassle-free check-ins at airports and all other stations without any review of documentation by the immigration service, customs department, and so on. This app for facial recognition not only offers hassle-free check-ins but also provides visitors with digital privacy and enforcement through the use of blockchain technology. The travel process for clients supported by these technology leverages a positive impact on market growth. Not only are airlines improving customer service with self-service capabilities. Hotels can even benefit from check-in for facial recognition. This technology helps travellers to skip queues and complete entry forms at the front desk. With these terminals, in less than one minute, a check-in that usually takes three minutes or more can be completed. It is quick to use facial recognition checkouts. Travelers scan their ID, take a screenshot and include information about their contacts. The computer verifies their knowledge about identification and reservation and issues a room key. Marriott has so far been exploring self-serve kiosks at the Moxy brand that encourage guests to swipe their credit card, causing the kiosk to distribute the key to their room.

Virtual reality creating opportunities in travel, tourism & hospitality sectors

There is a substantial difference between the consumers' perceptions of the service and the current service offered by the service providers. Customers at a distance appear to be oblivious of the tourist locations and the travel experience of that destination. Customers would like to observe the journey & discovery of the tourist destinations before heading to the tourist spots. This is accomplished by looking for useful information on the Internet in the form of consumer feedback, among others. Technology of Virtual Reality (VR) produces a simulated world that gives a virtual reality experience. In the interactive realm of 3D, the client encounters the environment to a great degree. The key limitations between the client and the service provider are solved by this technology. Customers can enjoy the scenic beauty of natural resources, general infrastructure services, tourism infrastructure, and destination tourism infrastructure through watching of augmented reality videos. In order to assess the selection of the tourist attraction location, consumers can have detailed first-hand knowledge with the aid of VR technology.?

Travel & Hospitality AI Market Challenges

Data Safety and Security Issues

This significant concern about the implementation of AI in some of the main fields, such as financial management and security apparatus, is a continuing problem. For instance, the use of Blockchain technologies in facial recognition applications guarantees data protection and security. Some countries are still hesitant to use facial recognition technology due to privacy and data security concerns. In case of Chatbots, hotels store past purchasing records, travel history that challenges data protection and security concerns. A big issue with these machine-controlled services is that a minor ransomware intrusion will interrupt software programmes and service providers' activities, which can lead to anarchy. While AI technology is innovative and forward-looking, these innovations is not afforded to small service providers because it needs a massive investment. While Chatbots & Robots are capable of replacing the human workforce, customers still rely on the human workforce when it comes to queries that require difficulty in language processing. Machines like chatbots are limited to answering basic questions. This technologies use the keywords of the questions to have responses. When there is an incident & complicated situation that needs to be worked out, consumers still focus on the human workforce.
