Tourism
We exist to
Transform
BAE Venture Capital supports the travel & tourism in its process of integrating innovation and technology to effectively respond to an explosive number of customers with individual expectations.
People’s mobility and the growing popularity of tourism pose significant challenges for the industry.
On one side, the need to take full account of social and environmental impacts and thus cover all concerns of a sustainable tourism strategy. On the other side, with different motivations come different expectations. The demand for unique experiences drives the shift from mass tourism to experiential tourism, requiring unprecedented levels of organization and coordination with greater involvement and investment in technology, driven both by customer influence and the efforts of all stakeholders in the value, supply and distribution chains.
