With the pandemic rapidly receding into history, optimism is high in the travel and tourism industry. Experts and veterans of the trade shared their hopes and dreams for what they hope to achieve in 2024.

There are no prizes for guessing that technology will play a big role in the immediate future of every sector and travel is no exception. “I expect that AI will continue to make its way more and more into the lives of everyday users and that includes the travel sector. I think travel companies and online travel agencies (OTAs) will start to embrace this technology to help provide users with more personalised travel suggestions as well as help to streamline the booking process,” William Lake, co-owner of Olive & Lake told Khmer Times on Thursday.

SINGAPORE:  SimplyGo app overwhelmed by downloads after move to phase out older cards

SINGAPORE – The SimplyGo app became less responsive and users were unable to use some of its features on Jan 10, a day after the authorities announced that older adult ez-link cards must be upgraded to the SimplyGo platform for fare payments from June.

Updated versions of the app became available for download on the evening of Jan 10.

In response to questions from The Straits Times, a spokesperson for the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said late on Jan 10: “The surge in transaction volume resulted in the app becoming less responsive. TransitLink is working to resolve this and has enhanced the app further to address the issues. The new updated app can now be downloaded from the Apple and Android app stores.
