Discussing tourism trends and separating them from simple passing occurrences. Was the main subject of the event.
The themes that will really arise in the different tourism subsectors.
Travel innovation summit madrid
In the case of FITUR, surely you already know about this great event.
FITUR is a world-class event that has positioned itself as a tool for tourism. Its mission is to contribute to the recovery of tourism and grow the sector.
Thatâs exactly why we thought it important to write and discuss with you the trends, learnings and many interesting facts happening in tourism today.
It is important to highlight that these topics have been commented on in both events, which is why theyâve been selected for this article.
Sure there are many more things happening in this world but without a doubt, the topics that we deal with today here will continue to give something to talk about.
Letâs begin!
The digital transformation has no turning back
If there is something in which both events agree, it is that digitization in tourism will not go anywhere.
The pandemic has pushed all industries towards digital.
Terms like: smart tourism, smart travel, smart cities, are just a few that are constantly being heard.
And as a consequence of the pandemic, there was a great explosion of tourism towards the digital world.
And we are not just talking about using social networks or creating a website.
If not how new disruptive business models are transforming tourism for the future.
Below 3 examples of new businesses that are digital, disruptive, and innovative:
Can you imagine a completely digital luxury hotel? It is CitizenM’s proposal, you make the reservation online, check-in/check-out kiosks, and without seeing a person. Approaching a more modern and young traveler.
Borders are still closed in half the world. But in Atlanta with illuminarium you can visit amazing places in the world in its immersive experience.
Automation in hotels. Some hotels already turn off lights and regulate temperatures through devices and even welcoming robots read everything in this article.
If these 3 examples show us anything, it is that traditional tourism models will have to work to incorporate new verticals.
Because tourism has changed forever.
The opportunity of rural tourism
Another reality that was a consequence of the pandemic.
The main reason is almost obvious, after lockdowns we all want to reconnect with nature and be away from our noisy cities.
The problem?
These rural areas were not ready for change.
But it happened. And as a global phenomenon: the United States, China, France, Spain, and many more.
They have seen the numbers in their rural areas grow and now the job is to improve the user experience.
These are some of the actions for rural areas:
“Make my move” is an online platform where communities offer work and a rural area to live for nomads.
“A nomadic island” is Madeira’s proposal offering travelers a free community workspace, Wi-Fi, and exclusive events every day at the John dos Passos centre.
The digital nomads are here to stay
If you remember, a few months ago we told you exactly this in our article about digital nomads.
According to this study, there are 4.8 million people who consider themselves nomads in the world.
And surely the figure will continue to increase, which is why many countries are preparing to offer advantages to this type of traveler.
Because not everyone wants to go to an island in Thailand đ
In fact, rural tourism in some areas is preparing to also become a destination for teleworking and not just ecotourism.
These are some of the things that are happening in relation to digital nomads:
Brian Chesky, CEO of Airbnb said on Twitter that he would live in Airbnb this year to try the “nomad” experience first hand.
Do you want a discount on your long stays? Use stayforlong and get a property that suits your needs.
Can you imagine 99% of public services online 24/7? This is possible in Tallinn, Estonia. It was named one of the best cities for remote work and with a very fast and cheap visa process.
New technologies in tourism
Smart cities are already here and they are not new.
But what can we expect from the future?
Based on the lectures and discussions of some of the experts at these events. We tell you some very interesting ones:
Tourism and the metaverse
Although the video of Iceland seems funny to us, the reality is that we are increasingly moving towards a world in virtual reality.
And perhaps the day will come when the metaverse will also come to our decisions about the vacations or properties that we are going to rent.
Beautiful, colorful, vibrant Lisbon.. Portugalâs Capital City.
With a population of just over 500,000 and a whopping 3 million visitors per year, itâs no wonder that you want to drop by!
Lisbon is a top tourist hotspot and a wonderful, as well as affordable holiday location.
Overlooking nostalgic coastal views and monuments steeped in history.
Lisbon is the perfect place to explore, unwind and relax.
Stick with us here at Stasher, the best option for luggage storage in Lisbon, to learn more about what in the world to do in a city where there is so much available at your fingertips!
You know how the saying goes, the quickest way to anyoneâs heart, is through their stomach!
We figured the best way to start your Lisbon experience is through taste, and what better food is there to encompass all that Lisbon has to offer if not its very own Pastel de Nata (custard tart).
Believe it or not some monks found themselves with too many leftover egg yolks and decided to get creative!
Today, we thank them for the beloved national treasure that is this pastry.
Immerse yourself in the wonders of Portuguese cuisine at the Compadre School of Cooking located at Number 14, Rua Heliodoro Salgado.
Here you can learn to make your very own authentic Pastel de Nata, so that the next time you crave a piece of Portugal, youâll only have to travel to your kitchen.
Since we are on the topic of great Portuguese food, we recommend that you head over to somewhere like Clube de Fado to delight in some more of the countryâs delicacies.
But be warned, the taste bud tickler, for once, is not the star of the show. No no, that spot is reserved for Fado.
This emotive genre of music originated in the 1820s in Lisbon, but it is believed to have much earlier and deeper origins.
Fado is often linked to cafes, restaurants and is known for its eerie, melancholic melodies not to mention its beautifully profound nature, musically and lyrically.
Feira da Ladra, roughly translated to ââThe Market of Thievesââ, is one of Lisbon’s oldest markets.
Dating back to the 12th century, this market, once displaying random, unwanted second-hand items for sale (hence the name), has grown and evolved into what it is today.
A place where you can find clothes, books, handmade/carved goodies, countless antiques carrying the history of Portugal in their shine, and definitely some souvenirs that you can take home to your loved ones.
So put on your best adventurerâs hat, make your way down to Campo de Santa Clara and swerve through the lively Feira da Ladra, haggling to your heartâs content.
Learn more about the history of the famous Lisbon Flea Market here.
If youâre looking to learn more about Portuguese culture and you also happen to be a fan of art, look no further than the Museu do Azulejo, also known as The National Tile Museum.
The Museu Nacional do Azulejo, founded by Queen D. Leonor in 1509, is located in R. Me. Deus 4, 1900-312, Lisbon, and it is dedicated to the azulejo, the traditional tilework of Portugal.
The word Azulejo means ââpolished stoneââ, but I donât think that that description quite represents the meaning of the tile to the Portuguese people.
Tiles trace as far back as the 13th century and were initially used to protect the walls of wetter areas such as bathrooms and kitchens from dampness/mould, but they became a common expression of Portuguese culture and art in the 15th century.
The museum features, but is not limited to, a wide range of decorative ceramic tiles, in various colours and made of many different materials, beautifully depicting the history of the Portuguese Empire from as far back as the 15th century, right up until the present day.
So youâve visited one of Lisbonâs most historically rich locations, learned as much as you can about Portugal, got lost in all itâs astonishing swirls and patterns and now youâre wondering, âwhat do I do next?â.
Well it only stands to reason that, since youâve spent so much time admiring the azulejo, you should make one yourself!
Yes, you can totally do that, and at the Museum no less! So remember, when you get through the exhibition and explore till youâve had your fill, sign up to the workshop the Museum offers, and jump into the hands-on experience of creating the traditional ceramic tile.
Lucky for you, all of that inspiration should still be whizzing around in your brain, so have fun and get creative. No pressure!
6. Igreja de SĂŁo Roque or âChurch of Saint Rochâ
The first Jesuit church in Portugal and one of the only buildings to survive the devastating earthquake of 1755 nearly untouched, it is a wonder to explore.
With breathtaking sacred art, a dazzling marble and gold interior, and featuring our beloved traditional tile work, the astoundingly clever mannerist and baroque architecture, (work of Filippo Terzi, royal architect of Filipe II of Portugal), is sure to draw you into its grasp.
The SĂŁo Roque Museum, which you may also be interested in surveying, is stationed right next to the church.
Free guided tours are offered at 3pm Thursday to Sunday if you want to learn more about the churchâs past, but you are also welcome to have a browse at your own pace.
Although we definitely recommend making the most of the tours, given that the story of this building is astonishing, (and if we tried to explain it all to you in this blog alone, we would be here for the entirety of your holiday).
Tram 28 follows the most famous journey in Portugal.
This particular tram has been around since 1914, when horse-drawn carriages still carried Lisbon’s locals through its winding streets and over the seven hills that the city was built on.
The tram travels through the centre of the city and, similarly to a sightseeing bus, it passes through older areas of the city, allowing tourists (and locals) to appreciate its original architecture, newly built areas for the modern heads, as well as many of Lisbonâs attractions.
Learn more about the Tram 28 route as well as how to purchase tickets here.
We recommend that you get a day pass for the tram, it costs between âŹ6-âŹ7 and lasts for 24 hours.
Tram 28 has over 30 stops on its path, so it may take you a while to get to the end of the line.
But if you have some time while in Lisbon, be sure to jump on this journey to the past, or at least as close to the past as you can get.
If you love nature and take pleasure in seeing animals thrive in their natural habitat, then this is the activity for you!
You will depart from the Lisbon coast on a speedboat, travel over the Tagus River, pass under the famous â25 de Abrilâ suspension bridge and start your venture into the ocean.
You will also be able to see many of Lisbonâs amazing monuments along the way.
The goal is, of course, catch sight of some dolphins up close, but with the help of a marine biologist that will be on board, if you are lucky enough, you may encounter various other species of marine wildlife on your travels.
These include but are not limited to, jellyfish, sharks, turtles and much more! Note that the weather can sometimes affect this activity.
Head over toAirbnb Experiences to book this wondrous, you guessed it, experience!
The last activity, one of the most popular in Portugal, and certainly the hardest to beat, is a good old beach day.
Because if thereâs one thing that holiday goers, backpackers, locals and travellers alike can all agree on.
Itâs that lazily rolling around in golden sand or somersaulting into the misty deep blue, are hands down some of the absolute most satisfying ways to spend your holiday.
So, search for luggage storage in Lisbon and then hop on a bus, a car or a broomstick.. (we donât judge) and make your way to one of these beautiful beaches to appreciate what the world has to offer.
Oh and since we love you so much, check out the list of beaches below, accessible by public transport from central Lisbon along with some other beaches that are a short drive away.
Donât say we donât do anything for you! đ

Praia de Carcavelos

About doinn:
Doinn provides top cleaning, laundry services and linen rental all through our software platform.
Also how you can adapt your rental and why you should do this.
The main reason to understand digital nomads is most of them travel when they work.
And, of course in the future, they will be a very important piece of the pie in the market.
So you need to be ready since yesterday!
Always Connected
It might sound obvious but this is one of the major problems of the digital nomads when finding a property to rent.
You can make one of these tricks to enhance your internet and have this one covered.
Change the location of your router, sometimes if this device is store away somewhere in the room something can interfere with the signal. Move it to a tall place without any disturbances such as tv, radios, etc.
Check if there is anybody stuck to your network, remember you can have a guest user predefined for your guests and then check periodically for any intruders.
If your house is too big or has different floors you can always add a wifi repeater to enhance the signal.
These are just a couple of things to get your rental ready for the digital nomads needs connections-wise.
If you have check social media the past year for sure you saw a bunch of pictures in which people renovated spaces to convert them into home offices.
Well if you do not have it on your property even if it’s a vacation rental, you should adopt one little space to it. Check out these examples.
A desk and a chair are vital even if it is not big but the key here is to make a space even if it’s little but with comfort for concentration.
Get a laptop stand! Your guests will love it as this is a must and a lot of people even if they are not digital nomads are still working remotely!
Use dead spaces in your apartment it can be within the bedroom or maybe below a staircase there are a lot of creative ways to make this office desk amazing!
You can always go to Pinterestand get more inspiration on the matter đ
Another important thing for these guests is maintaining their work-life balance there are actual studies that indicate they work more than older generations.
This might sound contradictory but the reality is if they work more than 40 hours per week their free time is sacred!
Experiences are revolutionizing the way users are sharing with other people, so here are some you can add:
Partner with local businesses to offer your users discounts and offer them a really nice experience with the locals. They would love it!
Make a local guide itinerary! Help them understand how your city works and how they can enjoy it so much more!
You can always add any extras to your service like rent a bicycle or ski equipment you can do it by creating a marketplace check it here.
An interesting fact is that the owner or rental manager can be the same owner of the experience so you can uplift your revenue a bit with this!
Stay green
For this audience staying green all the time is a big fact!
So keep getting some recycling bins as most of these users want to keep their environmental practices while staying at any other property.
They appreciate products that are chemical-free/plant-based because they are better for the planet and also can be better for people who suffer from skin conditions and allergies.
Do you happen to have any plants? They make the rental way more “home-like” and they are incredible to boost up your decor on any room.
Another important thing is to add devices that are “energy efficient” LED bulbs, LED lamps, electrical power strips with on/off switches.
And last but not least take advantage of this to talk the guest through all of the efforts you make to be greener đ
Guests or tenants would love it and even recommend your lodging to their friends so think about this when following all of the below steps.
We hope this was useful and you will be ready for your future digital nomads and millennials guests đ
About Doinn:
Doinn is the key to transforming your rental management operations.
Schedule, manage, and follow up your services all in one place.
Reduce the time and costs associated with managing properties while offering renters a seamless experience across their entire rental journey.
The cleaning staff, are the true soul of the operations of this industry, they have been undervalued, and not only in terms of economic compensation.
Anyone who has been involved with the industry and the cleaning part understands the great challenge that this represents.
Doinn allows cleaning companies to have a tool that doesn’t just connect them to new property managers.
But they also receive a tool to manage their human resources. How?
Our software has integrated modules to include each of the cleaning staff, which contributes to monitoring each team member.
By registering with Doinn, cleaning companies receive continuous training and follow-up during services.
This allows us to always guarantee our property managers the HIGH level of the services they buy.
Motivating teams
Thanks to our team and employees module, it is possible to monitor each cleaning carried out by the employee where it can be used to do small motivational exercises, for example:
An internal campaign of who is the cleaner with the most services.
Provide compensation for the number of services.
Introduce a performance measurement system.
Or any other type of compensation that can motivate teams especially after the post-pandemic situation.
For anyone familiar with the hospitality industry and cleaning work, it is not difficult to understand that providing the proper motivation is a huge challenge when managing a cleaning crew.
That’s why small gestures, as long as they are sincere, can go a long way toward making staff feel appreciated and respected.
Continuous innovation on teams
Another great way to motivate teams is by teaching them new things.
Sounds silly but training cleaners to use the Doinn platform is a great way to introduce the team to the age of digitization.
Thanks to Doinn you not only receive software but you will also have access to our mobile app.
With the Doinn vendor operations app, cleaners can exercise their voice by giving feedback on their services and uploading supporting photos.
From being able to start and end services from the app to communicating with property managers to report on situations in the properties.
Understanding a platform like Doinn’s allows you to develop the skills of your staff.
Not to mention that giving them their own voice when communicating with the customers is a way to empower them.
As you can see, at Doinn we strive to become an ally for the economic development of local cleaning companies.
From Madrid to Malaga, from Lisbon to Sintra, from Los Angeles to New York, Doinn’s vision is to become a strategic partner for suppliers and consequently, for customers.
