True personalization in travel management is now within reach with Self-Sovereign Identity (SSI). SSI allows business travelers to manage their personal data securely and share it with selected vendors, paving the way for a 360-degree view of the customer. This means that TMCs can better cater to individual traveler preferences and streamline the booking process. Imagine having all the traveler’s preferences, memberships, and past experiences at your fingertips – this is the future we’re heading towards! For TMCs, this technology not only enhances service delivery but also ensures data privacy and security for travelers. By integrating SSI, we can provide personalized travel experiences that respect the traveler’s privacy while offering convenience and efficiency.

The adoption of digital identities will be the biggest technology breakthrough in the travel industry in decades. It will simplify the identification process at every step of the journey and open up opportunities for the air transport industry to fully embrace the benefits of seamless travel and the digital economy. Today we announce our co-innovation agreement with Indicio, the market leader in open-source verifiable data technology and trusted digital ecosystems. Together we will work to accelerate the development and deployment of digital identities for travel, building on our previous success collaborating on Digital Travel Credentials (DTCs) with the Government of Aruba. We’re proud to be leading the charge towards an exciting new era of digital travel. https://lnkd.in/erWGpi69 #AirTransport #Governments #Borders #Technology #Digitalization

We are extremely excited to announce SITA's co-innovation agreement with Indicio, the market leader in open-source verifiable data technology and trusted digital ecosystems. Together we will work to accelerate the development and deployment of digital identities for travel. With Digital Travel Credentials (DTC), travelers can keep control of their personal data, stored in their mobile wallet, and consent to share it as needed as they travel, arriving at the airport ready to fly with all document checks already completed. This agreement follows a successful collaboration where this technology was trialed with the Government of Aruba. Passengers arriving at Queen Beatrix International Airport applied for their travel authorization using a simplified process that eliminated the need for manual information entry. https://ow.ly/nO3B50PmsFl #AirTransport #Governments #Borders #Technology #Digitalization

Getting the right Wi-Fi experience at airports is always challenging. See how Passpoint is changing the way people access wifi at airports.

Continuing from last week's discussion: who should own the #data on travelers' profiles and preferences? What about travelers controlling their data? #SSI empowers you to decide what information #travel providers see, creating a more secure and transparent experience. This is the future SSI promises, streamlining the travel journey for everyone. These approaches raise even more questions. How will we access and manage this data? Would you be comfortable using an SSI system for travel? What #security concerns might arise with this approach, such as potential vulnerabilities in SSI wallets or unauthorized access to traveler data? How can the travel industry ensure a smooth transition to SSI for both travelers and providers? Beyond travel, could SSI have broader implications for data ownership in other industries? What do you think about this travel tech revolution? #traveltech #SSI #dataprivacy #travelinnovation #dataownership #travel

Passengers expect a hassle-free experience with connecting and accessing Wi-Fi on their devices from when they check-in right up to the departure gate. Seamless #WiFiservices allow passengers to stay connected, check emails, access flight information, and use various travel apps, thus enhancing their overall airport experience. Passengers at airports often experience long waiting times, and having access to the internet becomes paramount to keep them engaged. In addition, a reliable Wi-Fi network allows the airport to relay real-time updates about flight delays, gate changes, and baggage claims, thus reducing frustration and confusion among passengers. Therefore, the demand for a seamless Wi-Fi experience at airports has increased. Lastly, a common pain point for passengers regarding airport Wi-Fi is the lack of security. Indeed, airport Wi-Fi is just as insecure as any other public Wi-Fi implementation, leading to distrust among travelers in connecting to the airport Wi-Fi.
