Indeed the skies are crowded. It's only in Africa where we see less aircrafts in the air. The US popular states and destinations seem to have more planes.

I think humans still have an important role to play especially if a tourist wants to negotiate, and speak with the hotel directly. Computerized booking is also important because it saves time and beings the unknown facilities online.

I'm very interested in the OTA business and I'm looking forward to build one because of my strength in digital marketing. That's their battle ground because the top 3 results of a search query take 5% of the clicks on search engines. I simple need a good website design expert.

As I get exposed to the terminology and different player in the industry, I think hotels, and tour operators operators have been doing this along with other reservations. I think that's just one simple service we'll add on the menu for our target clients. Our MEMARTs mentioned all these services at incorporation.

I think adjusting the price is one way to manage overcrowding. That's how Uganda is managing the gorilla permits. These animals were almost getting used to humans because many people were tracking them, and the whole essence of wildlife would be lost.

I love the exercise because it clarifies what we've been using without knowing their relationship with AI.

AI saves time. An article that used to take me 3 days to write can now be completed in just one day or even just an hour. Additionally, AI can be incredibly useful for performing risky tasks, such as working in extreme heat or in environments with dangerous rays.

For me, AI are tools and systems designed to independently perform tasks faster and more accurately than would otherwise be done by a human.

Sustainable tourism is a significant challenge in Uganda. Deforestation is rampant and encroachment on natural ecological areas is unstoppable. Although Uganda sells a large number of gorilla viewing permits, the revenues often end up in the hands of political leaders. The primary mode of transportation is by road. The environmental impact is considerable and...

As a search engine expert, I've noticed that established hotels and popular travel destinations are more likely to be discovered online compared to other beautiful places. In Fort Portal, my hometown, there are at least 30 crater lakes, the Mountains of the Moon, and two national parks. Unfortunately, due to the dominance of larger destinations, it's unlikely...

Politically, the government has quite a rough hand to the technologies that would facilitate virtual teams. For example Facebook is banned yet teams use features that can help the perceived virtual teams effectiveness.
Economically, there's still alot to improve. Tax policies in Uganda have it that even Facebook Ads attract VAT.
Socially, the people are...

This really adds to my skills in writing. I'm doing a research and one of the challenges I've had so far is about clarity of some ideas in the proposal. I can only be sure that after here, I might have a little bit of a smother road.

In the first scenario HR is seen taking things for granted. This shouldn't be the case in future because peoples' opinions on social media should be taken seriously because they reflect the exact behavior of the individual.
In the second scenario, the focus was much more placed on cost cutting thus neglecting the people aspects. The terms of reference...
