“The decade in travel: technology and tourism”’

This is it! As we step back and consider how a 10 years ago trip looked like, it is particularly true as mention in “The decade in travel: technology and tourism”’s article, that in less than one decade factors like technology and terrorism have given another meaning to travelling but also have completely changed its shapes together with its contain.
Among them, September 11th‘s attack in NY and other terrorism attempt in flights. When we once used to travel with bottles and liquids of all kind in our bag, the psychoses’ has now led to the “strict minimum” to carry in a flight. Even the poor baby has seen his food diminished….. It is clear that security justify those measures but it turns out too extreme at some points and attention of security forces are not focused enough on finding the real and core source of damages.
Still, those elements have not been for long a dissuading purpose, even though it is no longer as enjoyable as it used to be. From delays, to luggage lost, passengers have several reasons to travel. As we notice, statistics regarding the increase of passengers’ numbers it is more than encouraging. New technologies, internet, globalisation, families spread outs, job requirement, and price decrease are the major reasons.
However, other types of travel like ship, have not been contaminated by internet, but still have completely changed their old fashioned identity to something trendy, where one can find distraction diversity with interesting packages that fit to different tastes and ages.

To conclude, I would say that travelling can be apprehended to a cycle that is constantly evolving but always reach its return. We should also reconsider carefully the attention we give to terrorism that have dangerous and powerful to frighten their target and that are always trying to get advanced in their tools. It is again part of the travelling changes and it is today among crucial debates on whether or not implementing body scan seen by many as a violation of human kind freedom.
