Technology for the tourism of the future
Posted: Thu Dec 26, 2024 4:34 am
If we now live with masks, social distancing and disinfectants, what will it be like in the future? At a time when we do not know when (and if) the pandemic will end, the world must equip itself with technology.
All industries and professional areas have suffered severe blows since the beginning of the pandemic. Regardless of support and aid, companies have experienced (and continue to experience) moments of great uncertainty and instability regarding the future.
At a time when Portugal is showing signs of overcoming the first phase of the coronavirus, Europe is already preparing for a second phase. No one can predict the impact of this second wave and, although we predict that we will not be able to adopt mandatory confinement, because we do not have the financial means to support this situation a second time, we must, as a society, prepare ourselves to use technological solutions to control the spread of the virus .
Europe is witnessing the opening of borders, the arrival and jordan whatsapp number database of national and foreign citizens, week after week. It is important to return to normal life and this means, as a community, opening doors to tourists. As we have seen in various information channels, the tourism sector has been one of the main victims of this pandemic, reaching historic levels. The low demand for hotels, museums and restaurants, combined with the historic GDP figures, both in Portugal and worldwide, makes it imperative to adopt mechanisms that allow companies to begin to outline strategies for economic recovery and prosperity .
Biometrics and control cameras at airports
Technology can play a central role in how airports manage passenger arrivals. Using biometric, camera and computer vision technologies, it is possible to track citizens in the event of a Covid-19 alert. This means that it is possible to track people who have been in contact with or travelled with an infected person, allowing everyone involved to be notified of a possible outbreak.
Information beacons or digital bracelets
The Cathedral of Santa Maria del Fiore in Florence was one of the first museums in the world to implement the use of social distancing bracelets for those who intend to visit this site.
The main purpose of this device is to warn when another person is less than two meters away, emitting a specific sound accompanied by vibration.
Virtual reality
The tourism sector has been severely affected by this pandemic crisis. One of the solutions found is to use virtual reality to build bridges that reduce physical distance. This way, we can experience remote communication, almost analog, but with a sense of closeness.
Use of drones
In the United States of America, several initiatives have been put into practice to enable a return to normality, which translates into demand for theaters, cinemas and various cultural events.
One initiative involves placing disinfectant on the floor of a room, which is then pumped through a tube to a floating drone. The drone will then spread the disinfectant across the entire surface. In parallel, another drone is used to ensure that the tube is clear.
This method is in line with social distancing also in disinfection, ensuring complete cleaning of the surface.
Use of anti-epidemic robots
Robots are already used in a variety of situations and in a wide range of professions. In this context, the use of these devices makes it possible to control the temperature and monitor the health conditions of patients, as well as safeguard the medical records of all infected patients.
These devices allow the detection of between 50 and 150 people per minute, ensuring that users are fed, as well as capturing data and reporting any abnormalities detected.
In summary,
The time has come for societies to use all technological solutions to overcome this pandemic situation, investing in the most appropriate devices for each sectoral reality. The future is closer than we think and it is urgent to move the world forward.
