In it, they explain how the switch to hybrid and remote work, the growing need to address burnout and employee wellbeing, and the never ending challenge to attract and retain key talent will make business travel a pivotal moment for building company culture.<\/p>\n<p>According to the group, a successful company retreat will: focus on employee wellbeing, include personal development, emphasise company values, and, most of all, drive a strong sense of company culture.<\/p>\n<p>So what kind of technologies can support company culture driven retreats?<\/p>\n<p>Extended reality is a growing tech trend which we already <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stb.gov.sg\/content\/stb\/en\/trade-events-and-resources\/Tcube\/stories\/technology\/immersivetech0422.html\">reported on last year<\/a>. From Augmented Reality (AR) treasure hunts, where teams need to race across the city to discover company value related clues, to full on Virtual Reality (VR) experiences that help build teamwork and leadership skills, this tech offers new opportunities to create unique activities centred around company culture.<\/p>\n<p>While this technology has been around for a while, the market has evolved with more and more companies offering solutions that are both customizable and accessible to businesses of all sizes. <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/xctuality.com\/\">Xctuality<\/a>, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cityguydapp.com\/\">CityGuyd<\/a>, and <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.smart-guide.org\/en\/\">SmartGuide<\/a> are three cohorts of Singapore Tourism Board\u2019s Accelerator program who conducted pilots with STB partners this year, enabling them to build virtual experiences for guests and customers.<\/p>\n<p>Read more about how you can create more immersive visitor experiences <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stb.gov.sg\/content\/stb\/en\/trade-events-and-resources\/Tcube\/stories\/technology\/immersivetech0422.html\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Generative_AI_enters_the_tourism_sector\"><\/span>Generative AI enters the tourism sector<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Artificial intelligence is a technology that\u2019s already being widely adopted by tourism businesses. AI based customer service robots, <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.stb.gov.sg\/content\/stb\/en\/trade-events-and-resources\/Tcube\/stories\/technology\/tech-da.html\">online chatbots<\/a>, and customer data analysis tools are helping speed up response times, relieve overburdened staff of certain tasks, and generate deeper insights into customer satisfaction in a matter of seconds.<\/p>\n<p>Generative AI, also known as generative adversarial networks (GANs), is now taking the technology\u2019s potential to the next level allowing AI, not just to copy and replicate, but to create original text, images, and more. Some of the most popular early examples include GPT-3, a language model that can produce fake stories in the style of famous writers, and DALL-E, an AI model that can create original images based on prompts.<\/p>\n<p>While this technology is still in its infancy, there are a number of exciting new opportunities Generative AI could offer travel businesses.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the hospitality industry could use Generative AI to design new hotel concepts and layouts or develop virtual tours of their facilities for potential customers. MICE planners could use this technology to generate a number of personalised itinerary options for customers in just a few clicks.<\/p>\n<p>For both conference planners and attractions, being able to easily generate different layouts could help them to find the best options for minimising congestion at events, identify potential security concerns, and encourage foot traffic to certain locations.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Making_payments_frictionless_with_biometric_technology\"><\/span>Making payments frictionless with biometric technology<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The adoption of biometric identification and payment systems is a growing trend identified by Amadeus in their <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.prweb.com\/releases\/amadeus_travel_trends_2023_exploring_the_metaverse_new_biometric_possibilities_working_from_anywhere_and_traveling_light_are_set_to_transform_the_industry_next_year\/prweb19003148.htm\">2023 Travel Trends Report<\/a>. With these smart systems, guests can check-in, upgrade their seats, and even shop with a simple fingerprint or retinal scan.<\/p>\n<p>For example, food and beverage provider Hudson has opened a number of \u201cnonstop shops\u201d across US airports using Amazon One biometric technology. With these systems, customers can pay by simply holding their hand over the kiosk sensor.<\/p>\n<p>You can\u2019t get more personalised than that.<\/p>\n<p>Not ready for biometrics quite yet? Digital payment solutions, such as payment apps, digital wallets, buy now pay later, and account-to-account (A2A) payments, are making it even easier for customers to spend while on vacation.
