Internet of Things (IoT), which has propagated connections between things using the internet, has benefited several industries in different ways. In the travel industry, IoT has been beneficial in different ways, like:

Amazon and Google Home smart speakers and smartwatches offer updated information on flight status, amenity availability and help in last minute essentials. While earlier, a frazzled traveler did not receive proper information about lost luggage, IoT-enabled luggage trackers can furnish the essential information to locate lost baggage.

Guide in hotel search: In the past, travelers might have experienced a time where booking a hotel room meant calling the front desk before arriving and hoping for the best. Today, websites and apps can provide hassle-free hotel room bookings and ensure a smooth journey by removing obstacles.
