The Future of Travel and Tourism in the Hands of Robots
It looks like robots are taking over the world, one industry at a time. 🤖
According to a report released by GlobalData, the robotics industry is expected to continuously grow within the travel and tourism sector with the increase in investments over the past few years. 📈
Despite the looming issue of artificial intelligence replacing humans, robots in travel and tourism are not seen as threats to human employment opportunities.
In fact, the consumer and logistics robots, which are expected to grow by 29% and 21%, respectively, between 2020 and 2030, are meant to assist humans in efficiently performing tasks like room service, language translation, sanitation, and the like.
By 2030, the service robotics industry is predicted to reach the market value of $216 billion. 🤑
Cloud robotics is also expected to grow within the hospitality industry. So, if you see more robots next time you check into an airport or hotel, don’t be surprised.
Currently, as mentioned in GlobalData’s report, these technologies are being maximized in airports and hotels to disinfect on a higher level than human ability can, especially with the pandemic and all. So, not only are they taking our jobs, by which we mean making our jobs easier, but they’re also doing a better job at keeping us safe from germs! 🦠Thanks, robots.
This is definitely the future face of travel and tourism. But don’t worry, fellow humans, there’s still room for us in the industry. At least for now… 😅
