Global property developer Colliers International has produced a travel tech trends report which looks specifically at the Middle East region.

While virtual reality travel and electronic baggage labels are generic and familiar, “spontaneous travel” is a fresh idea. The report suggests that apps which can service demand for “day trips within the GCC, given the short flight durations”  are in a strong position to exploit this trend.

It names Hopper and Utrip as examples of apps which are meeting this need in the region.

Cloud-based or cyber-passports are mentioned as a trend which could benefit the Middle East’s increasingly crowded airports.
