Back To The Future

 

“Your future is whatever you make it. So make it a good one.” So said Dr Emmett Brown in the 1985 movie. What kind of future awaits us in travel with the new developments in tech and how can we make it a good one for our customers, industry and planet? That’s the challenge our two travel tech veterans and pundits have taken on in this assignment. Mission Impossible? Let’s imagine the possibilities.
