2017 – Sabre Corporation the
leading technology provider to the global travel industry, has released its
latest technology forecast, Sabre Labs’ 2017 Radar Report. The report
evaluates nine key technologies with an outsized impact on the travel
landscape, looking at what’s happening today and what to expect for tomorrow.
“We are in the midst of increasingly rapid and dramatic
technological change, poised to revolutionize how and where we travel,” says Mark McSpadden, vice president of emerging
products and technologies for Sabre Corporation. “Technologies like artificial
intelligence, neural interfaces and quantum computing each have the potential
to produce change as dramatic as the growth of the Internet.”

products and technologies for Sabre Corporation. “Technologies like artificial
intelligence, neural interfaces and quantum computing each have the potential
to produce change as dramatic as the growth of the Internet.”
Here’s a sneak peak at what’s included in the Radar Report:
- Blockchain – Being
hailed as the new “Internet of Trust,” blockchain is awash in innovators
looking to transform industries, governments, commerce and culture. We
look at short and long term effects most likely to change the travel
landscape. - Neural interfaces – When it comes to the mind, there are two very different challenges:
extracting information out and transferring new information in. Neural
interfaces attempt to address one or both challenges, and can do so in
either an invasive or non-invasive way. - Space Tourism – Mars is the final
frontier of human travel for our lifetimes, but closer to home, commercial
and government competition is heating up as a 21st century
“space race.” It’s not just promising orbiting hotels, but trickle down
technologies that will bring all corners of the earth closer together.
“The next generation will see a radical transformation of how we
live, work and play,” says McSpadden. “We see tremendous opportunities for
businesses to start experimenting with and implementing technologies like
blockchain, augmented reality and trusted presence to help shape a more
seamless, safe and personalized future for travel.”
