RWMC Digitisation & Convergence in Travel & Tourism
Channel: S McDonald, Web Media, RWMC
Date: 2019-08-18

The travel industry has been revolutionised by digitisation and convergence. All aspects of researching, planning, booking and experience of travel are available via our devices.  
This short video draws on examples to show how much our travel experience has changed both before and during out travel and the effect social media apps such as Instagram and our use of them are having on travel destinations.

Under Fair Dealing for criticism and review all screenshots and captures of websites, apps, social media channels and accounts are used as examples to demonstrate the importance and relevance of the proliferation of travel and tourism across digital and online channels. And that web media encompasses all aspects of the industry. I am using these examples to illustrate their relevance as an intrinsic part of how people interact with the internet in all aspects related to travel.
