MYTH “Travel isn’t a very innovative industry”
“Innovation has always been in Hotelbeds’ DNA. There’s so much buzz right now in the travel industry around artificial intelligence and machine learning. We have only just scratched the surface, so start-ups can have a lot to offer. One reason we’re continuing to partner with like-minded institutions is to not only further our ambitions and bring our vision to life by tapping into the start-up community but also support them to turn their ideas into reality. Of the technologies that are trending in travel, AI represents 26%, immersive tourism 20%, Internet of Things 16% and contactless
travel 15%. With all of these yet to reach maturity, it’s a chance for new ideas to flourish. There are roughly 3.5 million entrepreneurs in the world and 130,000 more start their journey every year – that puts the scale of this opportunity into perspective.” José María Pestaña Sartorius, chief innovation officer, Hotelbeds

MYTH
“Travel isn’t for those looking for a career in an industry like law”
“Many of the team at Travlaw have a passion for travel or have previously worked in the travel industry. Combining an interest in travel and using legal skills means Travlaw is a great fit for me, and it’s a unique place as it enables lawyers to be part of the travel industry. We work closely with many
industry bodies and regularly attend all industry events, including overseas conferences. Many of my clients have become friends and familiar faces, through meeting at industry events and working closely with them. Above all else, the travel industry is a fun and friendly place to showcase legal skills. A win-win in my view!” Ami Naru, partner, Travlaw
