Traveling is a basic human need that offers plenty of potential to improve/transform the personal and professional life of Tourists. Like all other basic needs (eating, sleeping, learning…), it needs a Science for its study and proposals to satisfy it in the most effective and efficient way.
I’m a Touristologists builder! I love to build the best minds for the best sector ever! My job is to create frameworks able to encapsulate/concentrate knowledge that, at first, they seem difficult to learn BUT, when you make the effort, when you make these frameworks YOURS frameworks you can improve the profitability and sustainability of any Tourism Destination or Enterprise!
I am feed up of people with neither knowledge of Tourism nor a strategic vision about how to make it more profitable and sustainable critizing it… saying that Tourism is a sector with low add value… saying that the Science of Travel doesn’t need the best minds to properly manage Tourism Destinations and Enterprises.
Nowadays, something similar happens with the Metaverse. Like Tourism, the Metaverse is not something that happens… It is something that we have to build!
If you want to build the Metaverse and use it to improve the profit and sustainability of Tourism Destination and Enterprises, you have to know about Tourism and, the set of technologies mixed in heaven that help to build the Metaverse
I mean, Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented /Virtual Reality which respectively provide Trustfulness, Scalability and Ubiquity to OUR operations and processes.
Let’s take for instance, Artificial Intelligence…
In The Metaverse, it will appear scenarios both develop for designers BUT ALSO real scenes based on where the Tourists’ camera is looking at. Creating Real-Time point cloud of the physical environment using SLAM (Simultaneous Localization And Mapping) captured by photogrammetry/photoscanning (a lot of photos turned into 3D models), LIDAR (Light Detection And Ranging)…
AI can increase the performance of this process helping to create these 3D scenarios in Real-Time. You can enjoy this video to visualize the idea…
Do you see? Experts in the Metaverse and Touristologists can visualize, create, and animate these scenarios from real places, also new characters, new skins. Characters develop as mesh and riggings BUT also scanning real Tourists/Inhabitants, members of their specialized community around the world.
Together, they can trigger events rooted in the Tourists’ space and context. Events based on “Anchors” 3D models that all the members of the community will see in the same position and place. Events that will generate a wave of events (the World Wide Wave!!!) that then can be processed (Stream Processing ) in order to provide solutions and opportunities to improve/transform the personal and professional life of the Tourists, members of his/her community around the world, Inhabitants and local Enterprises!
One interesting proposal is Holochain they define themselves as “An end-to-end open source P2P app framework”.
Do you see? Experts in the Metaverse and Touristologists can visualize and implement the best decentralized technology in order to build the best Metaverse!
Paraphrasing Linus Torvalds who said “Talk is cheap. Show me the code.”, when people talk about Tourism and Metaverse…
Show me your knowledge in New Technologies that are helping to build it! Blockchain, Artificial Intelligence and Augmented /Virtual Reality.
Show me your knowledge, management experience in Servuction, Yield Management… about how a trip can improve the personal and professional life of specialized communities of Tourists, while take care of culture and create richness and employment for the tourist destination.
Show me your desire to learn and help to improve profitability and sustainability of the best sector ever! Otherwise, you are just talking!
