The Internet of Things has the potential to radically transform the tourism space. A world where various devices are connected to the internet with a view of automating processes and cutting down the human ‘To Do’ list is naturally very appealing, in addition to results of saving energy and making industrial processes run more efficiently. The potential is vast, and companies have started to understand this.
