      Self-Sovereign Identity: Unlocking Seamless Travel
      Published: October 2022

      As originally conceived, the internet was designed to connect networks of machines to share information, without considering the identity of a person or organization using it. With time, consumers have grown dually frustrated over the need for endless login and profile creation, while simultaneously losing privacy when sharing all of said information. Enter SSI, which allows for a single, trusted identifier to be used across the board for all vendors. SSI is a once-in-20-years technology development that has potential to be a win/win/win for hospitality & travel, where travel providers, travel intermediaries and travelers can all benefit.

      Help Wanted: How Travel Survives the People Shortage
      Published: July 2022

      When COVID lockdowns receded in early 2021, it was expected that frustrated travelers would return with a vengeance. What was unforeseen, however, was a spike in demand so rapid it would nearly break the travel ecosystem. As it turns out, ramping up a $1.4 trillion industry (as of 2019) from a near standstill is no easy task. Planes were grounded, hotels shuttered, cruise ships docked. But the pains of restarting hit travel’s most important asset the most: its people. More vital than ever before, various tech developments and enhancements may end up saving the day. This article discusses some of the main challenges faced by the air and hotel segments in restarting and revamping their industries, while balancing the conflicting challenges stemming from high demand, skyrocketing prices and an unprecedented shortage of available workers.

      The Fintech and Payment Revolution in Travel
      Published: July 2022

      Renewed drive for increased efficiency and a simplified, secure user experience as demands for the travel industry warrants a focus on fintech. Broadly defined as software applications that involve financial services such as payments, loans, settlement and insurance, employment of big data fintech solutions can solve problems in ways previously impossible. Within the travel industry, fintech generally concerns reducing processing costs, provide traveler flexibility or minimizing friction in expense reimbursement for business travelers. Pandemic-driven demand has highlighted the need simplifying booking/rebooking and payment processes for both business and leisure travelers. The potential for growth within the industry is high, if tech solutions are properly understood and applied appropriately.
