Biometrics and Touchless Borders
Airports testing facial verification show markedly quicker boarding and fewer lost documents. When done with strong encryption and narrow purpose, lines shrink and connections feel achievable again. Would a shorter queue make you more likely to attempt tight itineraries?
AR/VR: Previewing and Navigating the World
Virtual previews let you stand on a plaza at sunset, listen to street musicians, and gauge the vibe before booking. Travelers report greater satisfaction and fewer regretted neighborhoods. Would VR exploration change your hotel choice or simply confirm your instincts?
