To what extend technology devices will continue to evolve?
Obviously, we live in a steady changing world where
industries must adapt their strategy and stay informed about last technology advances.
In the case of Tourism Industry, some of them decided to investigate
into the innovating device, entitled: 3D printing
By
definition, 3D printing is a process of making three dimensional solid objects
from a digital file.
This device
requires a large investment for companies such as the material used by the
additive process, the 3D modelling program (to create new object) or 3D scanner
(to copy existing object).
We can
illustrate the concept with the following cases in the tourism sector:
3D printing mobiles bathroom for the
tourism expo in china
In order to
increase the basic facilities of tourists, China’s International Tourism
Industry Expo welcomes over hundred thousand of visitors each year to
demonstrate the important role of bathrooms for visitor’s experience.
In this exposition, tourists can see the advantage of portable bathrooms
printed in 3D technology as it control water used, waste, and it is customised for tourists’ needs. The cost of building is approximatively the
same as standard bathrooms but it is monitored by an IT system

San Francisco: 3D printing the 18th
century French clock
The Young site decided to collaborate with Google on a “Google Art
project” by creating an authentic French Clock of the 18th century.
The device used a plastic stands to fabricate the clock and it took around 7
hours to do it.
3D
Printed Dinosaur to Boost Tourism in Queensland, Australia
For
the year 2016, Australia plans to a 3D printed dinosaur inspired from the Jurassic
Park film. This project will costs
around $200,000 as it invests into a CNC machine and photographs of the
skeleton. However, this i new attraction will increase the tourism in the town
of Roma. The Queensland museum will replicate the Rhoetosaurus species measuring
4 meters high.
In conclusion,
printed models and products offer a strong experience for visitors as they are
designed and completely tangible in real life. People can experience the
product or service by visualizing / touching it, while it has been created only
from a digital file.
By exploring
in depth the topic, we could imagine the concept developing into comestible 3D
printed products or sensorial in order to increase the visitor experience.
