S02E18: Glossary - TourismTech® sub-verticals

List of 118 sub-verticals identified under TourismTech® Ecosystem

Dear TourismTech® Enthusiast!

It’s official!

TourismTech® is owned by FiiRE Goa now!

My name is Thejus Joseph. I have been working on the TourismTech® concept for the past 3 years, and there have been many pivots and lessons.

The Incredible TourismTech® newsletter was started with an understanding of the lack of knowledge sharing in this space in India.

I’ve tried to break the 118 sub-verticals into lists under each Travel, Hospitality, and Sustainability category, reflecting a deep-tech and innovative perspective.

This is to answer the query of what’s there in TourismTech®.
