Mobile Business Insights reports on how augmented reality (AR) technology has huge opportunities to significantly impact the travel industry, whether it be RVing, car or air travel. Statista reports that the augmented and virtual reality global market is set to make an enormous leap from 17.8 million consumers in 2018 to 143.3 million by 2020. With that market growth, it’s expected that mobile devices in the travel industry will evolve into relied-upon tools for delivering augmented reality experiences to tourists, helping enhance destination travel while enticing travelers to take the plunge on a dream vacation they’ve been planning for years. Here are a few ways AR will soon be improving customer service across the travel industry.

In that way, augmented reality could be a revolutionary technology."

In traveling to a destination by RV, for example, this technology can prove to be extremely helpful. Augmented reality can display ratings of local restaurants as travelers scan a busy street looking for a place to eat, or even populate reviews and testimonials from visitors of an RV park or campground that the traveler(s) is considering parking.
