Over the past twenty years the hospitality and tourism industries have witnessed the fastest and most revolutionary changes in its history. The integration of the Internet, social media and digital communication has revolutionized the travel journey. Everything is now more direct, immediate and complex.
Then came 2020… A watershed year that put a strain on the entire travel industry - worldwide. This challenged everyone - from operators to travelers - to find new resources, not only to survive, but to resume tourism with more awareness and methodology, and with a greater openness to change and a new drive for versatility.
Technology and innovation have drastically altered - from hotels and airlines to individual travelers. Tourism has leveraged new solutions and strategies, such as eCommerce and location intelligence, to develop an experience that perfectly conforms to new tourist preferences making travel faster, more varied and pleasant.
Today, more than ever, the use of technology in the hospitality and travel sectors makes a difference throughout the travel process - from pre-booking to post-stay loyalty.
HICON - Hospitality Innovation Conference was born out of this scenario, an event entirely dedicated to the most advanced hospitality technologies.
