Metaverse for Travel and Hospitality

talk to our experts

Over thirty years later, the metaverse has the potential to revolutionize the travel and hospitality industry. It is a confluence of technologies coming together to take us beyond the boundaries of the real world. Technologies like X-Reality (e.g., AR, VR and Mixed Reality), digital twins, Generative AI, 5G, blockchain, NFTs and digital currencies are maturing rapidly.

As the travel and hospitality industry emerges from a pandemic-induced slowdown, the demand has risen to pre-pandemic levels indicating a promising future. Between 2020 and 2040, air passenger traffic is expected to increase at an annual rate of 3.3% and the cargo volumes are expected to grow by 50% by 2030.

With this, metaverse has the potential to revolutionize these industries by making it easier for people to choose their vacations wisely, connect with other travelers and find information about travel destinations enhancing customer experience.
