When Apple first introduced iBeacons (later just called beacons) in 2013, these small short range wireless transmitters were hailed as the foundation of new age of micro geo-targeting. Retailers were going to use beacons to automatically notify consumers of exclusive deals while passing by a store in the mall. In the travel space, beacons would help travelers navigate the airport, check security wait times and take advantage of special deals.
