A PLATFORM FOR THE NEXT GEN TRAVELER

The evolution of digital technologies and social media, together with the huge amount of information available online through websites, blogs and online communities, and the ability to share memories and stories related to our personal travel experience is disrupting the travel industries. Many platforms today tries to answer to the needs and desires of the next generation of travelers, from social travel guides to the ability to book hotels by the hour, from chat-bots to augmented reality, from car and bike sharing to innovative payments methods. In this ever-changing scenario, hotels play a crucial role in order to transform a trip into a unique experience. Implementing appropriate solutions and services for the next gen traveler is today more and more crucial in order to deliver a personalized and unique staying experience. Which tools and strategies hotels could adopt to enhance the future travel experience? How can hotels answer to the needs of the next gen travelers from the moment when they find inspirations for their next travel to the post-trip experience? Can hotels be considered as a bridge to explore the city, thus connecting the travelers with local cultures and helping them in their pursuit of uniqueness?
