Despite flight and fuel prices going up, travel is at an all time high this summer. Everyone is travel-starved post-pandemic, and the hospitality industry is working hard to keep up with the tourism boom by integrating emerging technologies into their process. The vacation spike has been coined as “revenge travel”, where people everywhere are trying to make up for lost time after the last two years of restrictions.

As summer begins to peak, many accommodations are embracing automation. Automation systems are simplifying the overall process for guests and staff. Companies like Selfbook are setting a new standard for hotels to simplify, verify, and unify the direct booking experience in just one click. While companies like Life House are offering software aimed at helping independent hotel owners to develop, design, and operate their boutique hotels.

On the consumer side, companies like Find Hotel are bringing customers around the world the best value for their accommodation search in a commercially viable way. While Hostfully is helping vacation-rental managers and their guests make the most of every stay by giving property managers the tools they need to automate their business.

If you’re interested in joining the booming hospitality-tech industry, there are ample opportunities available at companies working to make travel as seamless as ever.

Security in the Skies: 5 High Altitude Balloon and Satellite Startups Hiring Now

Nearly nine decades after the Hindenburg disaster, some speculate we’re entering the Second Age of the Balloon. “As all these objects fall, a new space race is rising,” Vox (https://www.vox.com/world/2023/2/7/23588464/suspect-spy-china-balloon-sputnik-moment-space-race) proclaimed. Tens of thousands of balloons float into near-space every year, and the numbers rise every year. The National Weather Service alone launches around 60k high-flying balloons each year. The Pentagon spent nearly $4B over the past two years on its own high altitude balloons, according to Politico (https://www.politico.com/news/2022/07/05/u-s-militarys-newest-weapon-against-china-and-russia-hot-air-00043860). Why the interest in such old-school tech? “They’re cheap, easy to transport, can be fielded in large numbers and are payload agnostic,” industry expert George Howell wrote. Tucson, Arizona-based World View (https://spacenews.com/world-view-emphasizes-remote-sensing-as-it-prepares-to-go-public/), a stratospheric ballooning company, last month announced plans to go public via SPAC merger. The company develops a “stratollite” that provides high-res imagery for extended periods. (The company also offer space tourism.) Colorado-based Urban Sky (/company/urban-sky) is creating what it claims as the first ever reusable stratospheric balloon. Called “micro-balloons,” they’re the size of a VW bus and can hover in near space to collect data over urban areas. Company founder Jared Leidich (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/air-space-magazine/04_fm2017-alan-eustaces-jump-1-180961678/) has some chops in this arena, having designed the space suit used in the world record space dive in 2014 via a balloon at nearly 136k feet. Near Space Labs (/company/nearspacelabs) invites people to “step inside a new way of thinking about all things geospatial imaging (https://nearspacelabs.com/blog/).” The company's high-altitude balloons that carry a small, autonomous robot called Swifty to capture the world around them at 60k to 85k feet in the air. The company says it’s done zero carbon emissions and recently launched (https://www.zdnet.com/article/near-space-labs-provide-free-high-resolution-imagery-to-universities-nonprofits/) a program to make its high-resolution Earth imagery available to universities and nonprofits for free. Sounds fascinating, right? Luckily, with a new wave of space technology, comes a brand new, cutting-edge wave of jobs. Check out 5 top startups aiming skywards and hiring now.
