“The Internet of Things” can be described as anything or
device that connects to the internet. Technology is changing every day, so is
the internet changing, more creative ways to access the internet is created
too. One can now use more than just a computer to access the web, it’s possible
from phones, tablets, gaming systems, even cameras and watches can now connect
one with the world wide web, and of course the possibilities will grow more as
time goes.
There can be positive and negative impacts to businesses
through the internet of things. If a country is given a bad image online, they will lose business as apposed to growing if they keep up a good name. South Africa as a growing country is using
social media and internet platforms daily to give feedback on grow and development
which helps them develop more. This can boost the amount of clients they get or
loose, if looking at an industry like Hospitality it is greatly affected of the
image South Africa gives online.
The Hospitality Industry is growing rapidly in South Africa
and will carry onto in the future as we are being noticed more and more by the
outside world. As most of society is using technology paired with the internet
to share their experiences, people can do research before going to a specific
place. Now with apps like trip advisor you can even get a quality rating and
comments from others on food, services and accommodation and this way others
can keep with the trends.
Since the large amounts of tourists from the 2010 world cup
South Africa’s Tourism and Hospitality Industry has grown tremendously. This is
because our beautiful country and hospitality was advertised all over the world
on TV and social media. And the more people come and have a good experience,
the more they will use the internet to connect us and show the world what we
have to offer. Therefore we need to keep up our good image and we will keep
having good business and grow to a better South Africa.
