Technology in Tourism

There is no doubt that technology plays an important role in tourism and travel. Technology allows the travel industry to reac h more people than it ever has before, and as a result, travellers are younger, better informed, and more tech savvy. Technology has forced the travel industry not only to step into the 21st century, but to embrace it wholeheartedly. In the past few years, we have been seeing rising trends of homestay travelling where hosts accommodate guest with short-term lodging and tourism-related activities. In-flight wifi has become very popular in recent years to meet the needs of customers. Being able to access to the internet at 35,000ft allows those who need to catch connecting flight to get important information such as gates changes, flight delays, or cancellations that happen as they are en route. Most airlines now offer mobile boarding in order to cut down the long lines often seen at airports. These passes can be sent directly to your smartphone from a secure web server, and can easily be scanned by the gate agent as you board the plane. This means no more waiting on printers, no more standing in a separate line just to be issued a boarding pass, and a much quicker boarding procedure for the flight itself. Customers have been able to make use of online booking sites for quite some time, but the interfaces have become much more user-friendly, not to mention a lot faster. Many airlines strive to make their booking sites a one-stop shop where customers can make changes easily. The travel industry has successfully been able to incorporate technology into their strategies for many years as it brings many advantages toward the customers and the company it. Travel has been made easier with advanced technology.

The question of the fastest Shinkansen bullet train in Japan is a fascinating one. It’s also one that requires more than a single answer, given the dynamic nature of Japan’s high-speed rail network, and the extent to which its engineers are always pushing boundaries. 

The road (or track, as it were) to the fastest Shinkansen has been a long one in some ways, but a short one in others. It shocks many people, for example, to learn that the Shinkansen has actually been running since 1964, when the first bullet train sped from Tokyo to Osaka at speeds of 200 km/h, or 125 mph.

This is amazing for a number of reasons, first among them that Japan has only had train service since 1872. The Shinkansen project, which would eventually lead to a bullet train from Tokyo to Kyoto, was conceived in 1939. Japan went from having no trains at all to having the world’s most modern train system in less than 100 years—all while suffering a massive defeat in World War II, no less.

+Shinkansen Hayabusa

Currently, the fastest train in Japan in the Hayabusa, which runs northward from Tokyo along the Tohoku Shinkansen line into the region of the same name. Although its speed varies as it travels from Tokyo to Shin-Hakodate-Hokuto, the Hayabusa (which is the Japanese word for peregrine falcon) reaches its maximum speed of 320 km/h (198 mph) on the straight sections of track south of the city of Sendai.

+Shinkansen Nozomi

The next-fastest Shinkansen in Japan, as of March 2019, is the Shinkansen Nozomi (“wish” in Japanese), which runs southward from Tokyo to Hakata Station in Fukuoka. The maximum speed of the Nozomi, a super-express train that only stops in major cities like Kyoto, Osaka and Hiroshima, is 300 km/h or 186 mph. Notably, the Nozomi is not accessible to users of the popular Japan Rail Pass—you need a credit card (or cash) to ride this train!

I personally think that trains in Japan are greatly designed for its purpose. They are very fast and efficient. We need these trains in Canada to travel long distance since Canada is a huge country and airplane tickets can be very expensive! I wish the were trains this fast in my country, Vietnam as well. It would be so helpful to get people from place to place without getting in traffic and it is also a great way to avoid pollution, which is a big problem in Vietnam, especially in big cities.

In 2014, i went to Revelstoke-a small mountain ton located 7 hour away from Vancouver to the north. It is so beautiful and peaceful. I had a great winter here riding the mountain in the morning and working at nights. On  Sundays, i would go with Yatsuo-san to the pub near by dancing to the Funky Snow Monkey band. I had a lot of fun. I could never forget how sparkling the snow was on the top. I even stopped at one of the runs to enjoy the winter scenery. The snow was falling as we smoked. The air was so cold and crispy i loved it so much. Whenever i got to hear the song Coming Home by City and Colours, it reminds me deeply of the great time i spent here.

This the AoDai- a traditional Vietnamese dress. we wear it on special occasions. like Lunar new year. Female students also were them going to school. I always wanted to wear Ao Dai to school cause my school uniform was skirt. The image of a young lady riding a bicycle while wearing her Ado Dai is so beautiful. It was described by foreigners as a very sexy outfit since it hugs all the curves of the women from the neck down. They look very graceful as they walk. It can make a guy fall head over heels.

It was in this Van that we went from place to place. We had a short trip to Whistler. It was so sweet. I’ll always remember he how cooked for me when the night fell. I was having a smoke as usual while looking up to the night sky. The night breeze fell just perfect. I could not wish for anything better. We had cookie dough for breakfast the next morning. It tasted so good i couldn’t stop eating.We told each others that we would travel the world together. Well it ended up never happened but isn’t it great just having that thought?

This picture reminds me deeply of the move Brokeback Mountain. It tells a love story between two cowboys. It was not a gay love story, just simply love between two men. Their love was so raw and wild it hot me at the very bottom of my heart. i could never forget the scene when Jack told Dennis that he did not know how to quit him. It was in the middle of Alberta mountains. The scenery was just breath taking. They had to part at the end but their romance remained as beautiful as those mountain ranges.

It was these mural that that got me fall in love with Montreal. There were so many of them! I was like Alice in Wonderland. They were so well painted. I was surprised by how talented the artists are. They brighten up the street corners. I even got on a hunt for these street arts. They were mesmerizing!

It was 2 summers ago when i traveled to Montreal. i was so excited about the trip. I wandered all the streets in the city. I got to listen to a band playing at night. It was so good. I love Old Montreal. It really felt like l was in Europe. T took a lot of picture. The people were so nice and friendly. I loved the bagels there. It was so moist and soft. The ice cream was great too. i hope to visit the city again in the near future.

Tea trees!! They remind me of my hometown. It is known for the endless hills of coffee trees and tea trees. The smell is so fresh. I miss it so much. There is nothing that ca be compared to a cup of hot green tea on a beautiful day. As kids, we used to run all over those hills playing hide and seek. We laughed. We cried. We had each others. As we grew up, no-one came back to those places anymore. People got caught up in their lives. I wonder if things like that are easy to be forgotten. Then they got married, one after another. Home is not the same anymore. I miss those days. When the world was at our feet, we were young, wild, and free. Our hair were full of sunshine and rain. What a time. I hope everyone will remember of what we once shared, those precious memories. i would trade nothing for it. I’m thankful that my childhood was well spent.

This picture reminds me of our hike to Grouse Mountain in Vancouver. It was the end of September. We were both underprepared. Didnot expect this hike to happen. Hoever, we ended up hiking to the the top in 45 minutes. The reason for us to beat through this id the beaver Tail that he swore on its deliciousness. he said that he went all over Canada just too look for this sweet desert. Woe it was actually good. i recommend you to try it. the ride up the mountain i think is around $50 or you can do the hike instead to save some bucks!

What an amazing starry night. Those sparkling stars remind me of a time i would never forget. That was when we first met. Under the night sky of Revy, a small mountain town, our hearts shared the same beat. Memories were as sweet as the plum wine we drank once.

A Trip

When she came back,

her eyes were alight with memories,

of salt lakes casting perfect reflection,

of chasing fireflies into night,

and the careless whisper of rain forrest,

still lulled her to sleep.

Her heart was healed,

and no man could ever wreck it again.

Oh the ocean... So beautiful. So surreal. I feel lost in this beautiful picture. Man and nature. There seems to be no barrier at all.
