The world is transforming at a fast pace. The work culture, social gatherings, business trips, everything has drastically changed; thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic. Humans are in the process of building a great civilisation and in this journey, the digital world has become a significant aspect now.
When the internet ventured into our lives, nobody thought what shape it would take in the future and now see we are literally dependent on it: for work, for talking to friends, for food deliveries, everything is a click away.
Experimenting with the work from home set up was risky but it was the need of the hour and who had thought that this new model would turn out to be successful for most of us. Thus, now we embark onto the next phase of the “Phygital world”.
The world travel and tourism industry is experiencing significant changes, some because of the shock inflicted by the pandemic and some because of the progress in the digital landscape. What are we talking about here? Let’s see in depth.

Metaverse will enable people to live in the virtual world what seemed impossible to everybody uptil now. Virtual tourism was picking up pace as the pandemic began. However, now it’s taking a more realistic approach.

With Metaverse, people would be able to have an experience of the flights, hotel rooms, etc virtually. Additionally, several airline companies like Boeing are working with immersive 3-D engineering designs to build production of airline services under a single digital ecosystem.
Through Metaverse, people also get a “try before buy” feature, with which they can first have the mockup experiences of the rooms, flights and other services that they would be availing in their upcoming journeys.

Bottom line
The year 2022 will be significant as it will lay ground on whether Metaverse will make a sweeping change in the travel industry. The predictions are hopeful as many industry leaders have already begun investing in building their digital landscapes. However, the idea needs to be spread across and it is yet to be seen how the travellers react to it.
