Every now and then, some Touristologists ask me…
- Jordi! You are always talking about how new technologies (Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence, Virtual_Augmented Reality…) can help us to improve our beloved sector. Why do you never talk about Quantum Computing?
Well, future of Touristology… I mentioned Quantum here, making a reference to YOU able to provide a dramatic advance in OUR beloved Science!!
“Time can advance as a circle BUT from time to time you get a quantum leap and you will have a chance to pass from one average circle to a special one. Be prepared, be ready and wait for the quantum leap that can transport you to another circle… a superior one!”
I always have a radar trying to detect the new, new thing! I always try to put it in YOU!
But…so far, Quantum Computing don’t seem very interesting to me. It is true that can increase the speed in the processes, and this can be a threat for security BUT, on the other hand, I am sure that Quantum Computing can also create more secure protocols!
As appear in this article “until the quantum hardware matures, the time is well spent looking for a similar quantum advantage in other areas.”
Do you want to know when Quantum Computing will be a quantum leap for OUR beloved sector???
When somebody make available Quantum entanglement!!! “when two particles link together in a certain way no matter how far apart they are in space.”
Because…
What is the main difference between Production and Servuction? In Servuction, we need the Tourists HERE/NOW
What is the main difference between Marketing and Yield Management? As we need the Tourist to create the service, we have to seduce the Tourist to be right here, right now.
As we need the Tourist to create the service and it is not possible to deposit the service…. If it is not sold now, it will be lost forever!
I, strongly, recommend that you read “A Shortcut Through Time” by George Johnson. Quantum Computing can, definitely, be a shortcut through time (and also shortcut through space, we, Touristologistly, add!!!)
In order to apply Quantum Computing in our beloved sector, we will need:
A) Better hardware = Better Qubits with higher Coherence (free of outside disturbance).
B) Better software = Better Quantum algorithms increasing optimization and decreasing errors rate
C) People able to visualize and implement Quantum Computing in Tourism.
People? Touristologists!!!… just listen to your inner Touristology’s voice…
Who is better prepared/trained to visualize how Quantum Computing can improve Operations and Processes of Tourism Destinations/Enterprises?
Who is better prepared/trained to implement these improvements?
Quantum entanglement (or Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen paradox) could help to create, communicate and commercialize #HybridExperiences between Tourists, Inhabitants and local enterprises HERE/NOW using Augmented Reality, and members of their international community around the world at any time using Virtual Reality AND sharing their avatar in Real-Time!
I said, around the world? Around the entire Universe!!! Welcome to Space Tourism!
I love Quantum Computing! I love the #Metaverse! I love Touristology!!!
