AR holds the potential to allow DMO's and other major stakeholders to liaise and take the most optimal decisions through on-the-spot comparisons of alternative scenarios.

Companies in a range of different sectors within the travel industry are developing augmented reality apps, which allow tourists to enhance physical locations, offerings and attractions. Restaurants are building 3D models of menus & dishes to provide an advanced version of conventional menus to customers and historic attractions are providing travelers with a view of the evolution of landmarks in time perspective. These uses illustrate the versatility of this technology.

The use of AR to impose virtual 3D models of planned innovations on top of the actual environment where they will be introduced can support effectively both individual and collective, as well as private and participatory, decision-making processes. A key function of this technology is that it could save significant construction costs.

AR technology holds the potential to create a more seamless transition from in-store to online, which will be especially beneficial for high street travel agencies. Platforms have been created that allow prospective customers to scan a code in store, and the virtual experience will be launched instantly whenever the user wants. This concept is built using GPS coordinates of the destination in real time for a seamless experience.

European and North American consumers are the least receptive to AR technology, with only 14% and 13% stating that AR/VR makes a product smart respectively according to the author's. A contributing reason for this decreased percentage in regions such as Europe may be due to the decrease in AR products and services that are visible to the consumer. This may be because there is a considerable lack of IT training, certification and experience in the European workforce, creating a lack of specialized AR developers.
