How Our Holidays Changing With New Technology

Everybody loves to go on a holiday and most of us do actually go. Aren’t we look forward for the year end to pack our bags and visit an exotic destination? But have you ever noticed how much the technology impacted on our holidays? 

Choosing Where To Go

Do you remember how we used to look for a holiday destination? We would walk in to a Tour Operator and check for tour packages which fits our budget. Or we ask our friends, family or colleagues for recommendation. Like a place they have visited. Now we Google. Within few seconds we get bombarded with destinations. 

Many travel websites, bloggers, vloggers have plenty of interesting places to choose. You can take your own time to go through these and decide on the destination. Unlike good old days people are choosy and always look for untapped destinations. Rather than going to where everybody goes.

Confirming Reservations

If you need to make the reservations back then, you have to find time to visit your travel agent. Make necessary cash with drawls and wait in the queue till a reservation agent available to book your holiday. 

Now, if you have access to WWW and posses a credit card, voila!!! you can book and confirm your holiday! No waiting in queue, no visits to banks. You can book your air tickets, Hotel reservation, Rent a car and airport parking by visiting few websites. After few clicks, your holiday is booked and confirmed. 

Even siting at home or taking few minutes at work or even while traveling in the bus/tube you can confirm your reservations. Saves time. 

Killing Time

Can you think how to pass time during transit or flight delays? When we didn’t have smart phones, pads and other electronic devices. People use to talk to others and exchange their travel experience. Some even make new friends… But now everybody is ready with their power banks and phones. Less interaction with fellow travelers as everybody is busy looking at their phones.

Capturing Memories

People actually burrowed cameras from their friends and family. Not everyone owned. To make sure you capture the every essence of trip, people pack extra film. But now everybody has a smart phone. No need to ask another person to take a photograph of your family/group, selfie sticks does the trick. You can share the photographs with your family back at home instantly. There is no need to wait till you come back from the trip. 

Keep In Touch

Do you send post cards when you go on holiday? Isn’t it nice to write to your loved ones? But now it’s in your fingertips. You can send messages, do video calls with people back at home. 

At the same time, people back at home can keep in touch with you. Your colleagues at work! Unlike those days, you do have to spend couple of hours to check your emails for important work. You are not cut off from the rest of the world. 

Planning a holiday is much easier now. Information are easy to find so more people are going on holidays now than before. So, when you go on your next holiday, take the time to appreciate how much easier it was for you to go on our own vehicle to the airport. Rather than reserving a taxi, or train. Either it’s Meet and Greet airport parking or Park & Ride.. it makes your life so much easier. Check our airport parking options. Compare and book cheap airport parking with Merry Parking!
