Travel technology (also called tourism technology, and hospitality automation) is the application of Information Technology (IT) or Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in the travel, tourism and hospitality industry. The increase in technology has strongly influenced travel experiences.

Since travel implies locomotion, travel technology was originally associated with the computer reservations system (CRS) of the airlines industry, but now is used more inclusively, incorporating the broader tourism sector as well as its subset of the hospitality industry. While travel technology includes the computer reservations system, it also represents a much broader range of applications, in fact increasingly so. Technology has influenced the travel industry in the ways people research before traveling. Whether customers search for places tagged on social media, use search engines, read customer reviews, or explore many other available technologies, travelers have a lot more power in their trip planning than ever before.
