Summary

This report analyzes the key theme of internet of things in the travel and tourism sector. The internet of things is taking on importance as travel companies look to tackle high costs, ESG and improve customer experience. This report provides an insight into key trends, challenges, and recommendations, as well as providing concrete case studies to help the reader see examples of internet of things technologies in action.

Scope
  • The Internet of Things, or IoT, describes the use of connected sensors and actuators to control and monitor the environment, the things that move within it, and the people that act within it. GlobalData forecasts that the global IoT market will reach $1.8 trillion in revenue by 2028.
  • IoT can address environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns in a host of ways from sensor-enabled smart lighting and thermostats that monitor and adjust the environment of lodgings to IoT-enabled smart buildings that integrate energy-efficient technology throughout cities.
  • Rising costs are affecting various operational aspects of the sector, including utilities, supplies, maintenance, and labor. IoT can greatly assist in reducing costs for travel and tourism companies. IoT can exacerbate cybersecurity risks. IoT devices, such as smart locks in hotel rooms or connected baggage trackers, can serve as entry points for hackers.
Reasons to Buy
  • Understand the impact of internet of things on the tourism industry, using case studies to help you understand how you can adapt and understand this theme.
  • Assess the strategies that companies are adopting to succeed in the internet of things.

How Do Licenses Work?

How Do Licenses Work?

The primary function of a report license is to define how many people within a company are authorized to use the purchased report. This is separate to how a report might be delivered. Unless specifically identified otherwise, the purchase option is Single User. Below is a helpful description of that license, along with a sampling of others most commonly offered.

  • This license allows only one user to have access to and to use/read the report. It is not one user at a time or one user group; it is an individual who will be reading and utilizing the report.

  • This license allows for the entire purchasing company to read and use the report. This is the license level that would allow for a report to be placed on an internal company shared drive for access by all employees of that direct company. This license does not extend to parent or sister company use.

  • This license is designed to allow an entire department within a company full access to a report. The departmental license is a great option for companies that have more than one location and the department is spread out all over the country/world

  • This license is for companies that have one location where they want the report to be accessible by all employees within that physical location.

  • This is the most flexible of the licensing options. Some publishers will allow you to get a license for a preset number of people (typically 5). These licenses are ideal for small work groups.

License options are at the discretion of each publisher. As such, not all licenses indicated above are available for every product. If you are uncertain of the best license for your needs or would like a license that is not proactively available, please contact us and we will be happy to assist.
