The event brought together industry leaders from Vodafone, MAADIGITAL, and the Connecting Cumbria project, providing a platform to explore how 5G can drive innovation, enhance customer experiences, and increase productivity in tourism.
The session focused on real-world use cases, challenges, and the immense potential of 5G and immersive tech—such as virtual reality (VR)—in transforming the tourism sector. North East-based SMEs in tourism had the chance to engage in hands-on technology demonstrations and network with experts, gaining valuable knowledge on how to leverage these cutting-edge technologies to stay ahead.
The event focused on how 5G and immersive technologies like VR are transforming the tourism industry, showcasing success stories, and demonstrating practical applications for small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
