Headquartered at Stamford, KAYAK is the world’s leading search engine, it searches other sites to show travelers the information they need to find the right flights, hotels, rental cars and vacation packages.
In today’s times, technology has completely revolutionized our lives – from the moment we wake-up to the time we go to sleep (in fact even while sleeping now!), technology has become an essential part of the way in which we function. In this backdrop, the impact of technology has seeped into the tourism & travel industry, as well. Technology has transformed the industry, both for the consumers and the service providers.
Just a few years ago, most Indian travellers were planning their holidays by visiting a travel agent, and would need to rely on their own memory and notes to manage their travel itineraries. These days, new developments in consumer technology mean everything is easily accessible within just a few clicks. Travellers can book their own flights & hotels online and even find short stays at holiday homes owned by locals via travel search engines. Advancement in technology has also created new business opportunities and changed the way service providers work, as everything has become more connected than ever before. Travelers are not just becoming smarter, but the ever-expanding digital population has led to a surge in the number of online travellers who depend highly on technology for memorable travel experiences.
