Traveltech for Scotland

EFI Home / Activity and Partners / Traveltech for Scotland


Traveltech for Scotland is here to get behind Scotland’s traveltech pioneers.


We know that traveltech is already transforming the experiences of tourists and their hosts. We see a bolder application of traveltech, leading the way to a cleaner, greener and more inclusive Scotland.

Right now, our priority is to help the Scottish tourism sector make a sustainable recovery from the devastating effects of the pandemic through technological innovation.

What is TravelTech?

Traveltech is: “tech-enabled companies offering services and products focused on travel and tourism, including booking services, search and planning platforms, on-demand travel, and recommendation sites.” (CB Insights 2018).

Traveltech products and services are used by tourism and hospitality companies to help them safely restart business during the COVID19 pandemic. Businesses can use traveltech for contactless customer service, to enable track and trace, create digital experiences, reach new local customers and manage visitor flows.
