With the recent rise of wearable technology, the travel industry has quickly caught on, implementing this type of technological ease into its frameworks wherever possible. For air travel, wearables like the Apple Watch can provide travelers with flight updates and digital boarding passes; they can even make transfer arrangements through ride sharing apps and provide directions to other modes of transportation. Additionally, the Apple Watch can make restaurant and site recommendations, convenient for those traveling in an unfamiliar area.

Various types of lodging and theme parks have also picked up on the benefits of wearables. Disney World developed the MagicBand, a wristband that gives guests access to their resort room and the park, additionally allowing guests to make purchases and even get on rides with this single wearable. This innovation inspired Carnival to create the Ocean Medallion wrist band to provide its passengers with the flexibility of having all-inclusive access in one convenient spot. This form of technology is certainly on the rise and is likely to further evolve for the travel industry in the future.
