Airports of Tomorrow The Worlds Trendsetting Airports
For so many years, we thought of airports as simply places to pass through; like a bus station or a turnstile, but now we are seeing that airports themselves can be the attraction. With the era of social media and with travel on everyone’s bucket list these days, airports are seeing an all-time high in traveller numbers. In addition, these travellers are savvy-travellers. The millennial generation have likely seen more than a handful of airports in their lifetime and Generation Z are sharing their airport experiences with the world. Increasing usage of social media and the internet in today’s communications and retail climate, means that every part of the journey is documented, from the airport to the hotel. If an airport can harness the interest of travellers as opposed to simply being a place to pass through, they will stand out and succeed. We ask here, what makes a great airport?
