The travel and tourism industry is an uncontrollable juggernaut having huge impact on the economic, cultural and technological fronts. The World Travel and Tourism Council (WTTC) asserts that over a tenth of the world’s working population is directly or indirectly engaged in some kind of tourism jobs. The likes of Uber, Hooper, Lyft and Airbnb have made huge strides in disrupting several aspects of the broader industry. The travel experience though now needs to be safer and smoother, plus more reliable. Technology such as the use of biometrics needs to be made greater use of. Alignment between transportation and environment officials to the tourism department is a must in several parts of the globe. The public and private sectors too need to come together in this initiative.
