As the online travel industry rebounds from the shadow of Covid-19, there remain certain hazards and promising developments. According to JD Supra, more customers of Booking.com have been targeted by cybercriminals using fraudulent emails to pry into personal information. While it’s unsurprising given the current digitization trend that cybercrime has found a home in the online travel industry, it serves as a stark reminder to businesses and consumers alike to ensure robust online security.
In more positive news, startup Hubli has announced a new API that offers real-time inventory for meetings and events. This new technology serves to streamline the planning and management of events and meetings, a crucial service for businesses as they continue to adapt to flexible and remote working arrangements.
These recent developments underline how crucial it is for corporations and legal firms to stay updated with the evolving legal ebbs and flows within the online travel industry. An uptake in cybercrime suggests a need for businesses to implement stronger security measures, while Hubli’s new API signals a shift towards technology-driven, real-time management in event planning.
