Among
the sectors that could largely benefit from the possibilities offered by the Apple
with its long awaited innovation, hospitality is one of them – and applications
are being announced already by professionals of the industry.
Expedia’s
app will provide information on hotels and flights, American Airlines’ will do
everything from check-in to leading you to your departure gate, and TripAdvisor’s
will bring travelers’ opinions to your wrist.
Another
useful and free application for those who travel abroad has been designed by
IHG Hotel Group: Translator App. The application translates from English to 15
different languages such as Chinese, Russian and French. This new version of Translator
App adds to IHG’s existing offer on the Apple Store and Google
Play for Android.
For Michael Menis, Senior
Vice President Voice and Digital at Intercontinental
Hotel Group, this is just one step for the group with connected objects, as
technologies could be next incorporated into clothing… For a smarter
style while traveling !
