To quote the famous lyricist Bob Dylan, “The times they are a-changing” and perhaps never more so than now. Both across the travel and travel technology industries with the advance of AI to name just one development, and more broadly across global economic and political landscapes. Indeed 2024 has been declared a record year for voting with elections in over 40 countries scheduled as over 40 per cent of the world’s population takes to the polls across India, Mexico, Russia, the United States and the United Kingdom to name just a few.
For travel operators and travel technology suppliers there is then a need to keep a keen eye on developments both in their own stable as well as further afield.
